NKorea may already have nuclear warheads: ex-CIA official

11 hours ago

TOKYO (AFP) — North Korea has likely mastered the technology for arming its missiles with nuclear warheads, a former US intelligence official said Friday.

"The fact that they have a warhead that's fitable to the Rodong (ballistic missile) is pretty much given," said Arthur Brown, who until 2005 was National Intelligence Officer for East Asia at the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

"We (the United States) went from nothing to missile capable in seven years. The Russians went from their first test to missile capable in six... Why do we think the North Koreans can't have that kind of technology?"

What was unclear was how much uranium and, or, plutonium North Korea possessed and how much they need for each of their weapons, he told a press conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan.

Madeline Albright says Kim's price is one nuke for 50,000 tons of bunker oil or wheat. Clinton paid it twice. GW has not been extorted.

Yeah. A missile or a nuke or both.

Enough for 1 1/2 duds. He blew off 1/2 of a nuke dud. The other one was sold to Clinton twice. Kim never delivered.

He's still trying to sell it to GW.

But the plan of our most influential constituents and leaders under their control is to make proud assumptions and pay bribes to our enemies, until those enemies actually launch on us.

I am wonder do you think Chia Pet gave order say something happen to me do all the cost get a nuke

They are a puppet of china. They will have, within 24 hrs. anything china wants them to have and will use it on command. They do nothing without big brother’s say so. China uses them to distribute it’s arsenal to our enemies.

[grey_whiskers]

How hard are they to transport?

Via ship to Iran, or to Africa, and then over land with Russian or Chinese help, to Iran.

IF Iran launches a nuke, we should accuse Clinton and Albright of treason for helping the NK nuke program.

Cheers!

Let them have their nukes. Now all we have to do is encourage the south to develop their own nukes or install american made missile defense systems and that will be the end of it. Its China’s problem now. Let them feed them and provide their energy needs. I’m sure they don’t want the south koreans or the japanese to have nukes or missile defense systems.

Bump.
