This is one of the most informative threads, and in the top tier information wise, of possible scenarios. The thread points out a possible means to generate an attack upon any nation using cover of charter plus other assorted methods. The enemy, I suspect, has thought of these possibilities. To slip in, under the radar, could be achieved through a variety of means, for our enemies. There can be no doubt the enemies of the civilized world are preparing. The civilized world is playing defense.
The probable truth is....Our Nation and the Civilized World has been and will continue to be at Red Alert.
Great Thread....Direct and to the Point of the Challenges which have faced and are facing the civilized world.

If there was plutonium at the bombed-out site, the US’s and other countries’ radiation detectors would have spotted it after the raid.
So this is either disinformation or all the major powers already know Syria was experimenting with NK plutonium.
Some of the things that have happened on the international affairs front since the raid indicate the radiation detectors were pinging off the scale.

Because we have 150,000 of our finest in the same area perhaps? I don’t know, ==but food for thought.

So what is The Times of London suggesting we do? Is the US Senate and House of Representatives ready to allow the US military to do a thorough job of destroying the NK, Syrian, and Iranian facilities even remotely associated in any way with supporting their nuclear programs.
GWB declares these three countries as being the axis of evil, and has refused to give them leeway, while his opponents continue to blast him for being so cruel and not willing to allow negotiations to evolve.
Then some clown turns around and makes a comment where it appears this administration is failing in diplomacy, whatever.
Lots of *ssholes out their IMHO.

"We wont fight this war the way it should be fought until AFTER we lose an entire city and a million or so people"
Yes, and that's assuming the Islamo-jackals only go after (or succeed in going after) one city in a surprise attack. If 9-11, Madrid, and London, etc. should teach us anything it's that the Islamo-jackals aspire to carry out simultaneous mass casualty attacks (but if they had several nuclear weapons they would use them in DIFFERENT cities, not one city). If they had multiple nuclear weapons which were not being kept back as a deterrent, they (whichever jackal nation or terrorist group had acquired them) would likely try to use them in a coordinated multi-city attack to maximize the horror and slaughter. I'm very sorry to say that we have to suffer mass casualties in several cities before we finally start going after the Islamo-jackals with complete focus and necessary ruthlessness.

If this were really true, and accurate as to the plutonium, this bombed facility would be lighting up like a roman candle on ground or space based sensors.
Until I get some clarification from other sources, I remain puzzled at best.

There is a growing, and increasingly capable, pact of nations, with a vested and apparently agreed upon interest in thwarting and threatening US interests around the world. I count among them, N. Korea, Syria, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and other less capable nations. There is no doubt in my mind that they are supported by Red China (openly in terms of oil and weapons deals, and covertly in terms of logistics and planning) and that Russia, more and more, has its hands in the mix.
If allowed to fester (and it already has a sickening, puss-filled head on it), it will draw more disaffected nations to it and ultimately become a larger threat to ourselves and liberty thoughout the world than the Nazis and Imperial Japanese became in the 1930s and 1940s, and will cost more to put down. We (meaning the United States and our true allies) need to act forcefully economically and militarily now to prevent that from happening.

"The US says that must include information on his weapons deals with Syria and Iran".
I would not be surprised to see NK give up Iran and Syria...especially if confronted with some evidence. They might spill the beans.
I'm CERTAIN the US will be applying every carrot and every stick.

ISRAELS top-secret air raid on Syria in September destroyed a bomb factory assembling warheads fuelled by North Korean plutonium, a leading Israeli nuclear expert has told The Sunday Times. Has anyone informed Madeline Albright and Bill Richardson? Remember they both boasted of solving the NK problem ('snort!') and Bill wants to be our next POTUS!

The UN has no reason to call an emergency meeting since Syria has refused to allow its nuclear agency access to Syria’s bombed out nuclear plant.
And none will be permitted by Syria either.

Critics in the United States say proof that North Korea supplied such nuclear weapons material to Syria, a state technically at war with Israel, would shatter congressional confidence in the Bush administrations diplomatic policy.
Excuse (the heck out of) me? Didn't the CLINTON administration supply North Korea with those nuclear facilities in the first place?

“If Syria got weapons grade plutonium from North Korea, why does anyone believe Iran didnt get it some time ago? And if Iran has had weapons grade plutonium for some time now, why would anyone believe they havent already made weapons from it? They are far more capable than Syria.
With that in mind, has Iran been taunting Israel to strike one of Irans nuke sites so that Iran can retaliate with nuclear weapons while claiming self defense. Obviously Iran knows Israel will retaliate - whats left of it - but do they really care? They need major destruction all around to bring the 12th Imam from his hole...”
You can already see the results of this concern in the less than determinative comments coming from both Israel and the US. You hit it squarely on the head and there’s little doubt Iran had a funding and operational role in the Syrian plant.
That Iran would not have received shipments themselves is of course the most troubling aspect of this story. Thus the conditions by the US to North Korea to provide exchange information by year’s end.
My sense is that information will not be provided. But if North Korea is cornered enough to do so, expect to Tehran as one of the addresses for its atomic weapons fuel.
