I thought Bill Clinton worked out a deal with his very good friends in North Korea to halt nuclear development in exchange for US taxpayer money? /bs

This also explains why gas has been shooting up lately, isn't a large percentage of the world's oil under Saudi control?

The man has no shame, the only thing he's use to ducking is the truth.

This whole things smells of a propoganda campaign to win the political support for an open-ended war in the Middle East. Where are these intelligence leaks coming from if not the bombers at the Pentagon?

I believe that Russian output just reached parity with the entire Mid-East. They're not part of OPEC and have been flooding the market the past few months. If they weren't doing that, the price would be skyrocketing far higher than it is now.

They do. Canadians have a huge amount north of Edmonton and the Venezuelans have vast quantities.

This will be Clintoons legacy bringing the world back to the brink of extinction by giving the Chinese sub nukes able to hit L.A., San Francisco, Seattle and San Diego.

We will find out in due time what N. Korea got out of the deal.

Thank goodness we can do ANWAR drilling, properly done that could last us for 200 years.

I'm hoping the NK is on notice that if those bunkers are opened they'll be immediately tomahawked.

Based on public info (which is all I have access to), their subs can barely make it out of port and back. They won't be a primary threat for several years yet. Their ICBM's on the other hand...

But stategically aren't the subs toughest to defend?

Not only should we start drilling ANWAR, but also the coasts, and especially the Gulf of Mexico which is one of, if not the most voluminious reserves on earth.

The nukes are also untested.

Subs, if functional, are the most effective leg of the nuclear triad (bombers, subs, land-based missiles). However, they need to be fairly close to the enemies shores since missiles aboard subs are for intermediate range.

Besides not being able to travel very far, which as mentioned, is necessary for use as a nuclear launch platform, Chinese subs (even their deisels and those purchased from Russia) are very noisey. That's a BIG no-no when quiet's the name of the game.

If that's the case, then even if lauchned, they'd probably be "just" dirty bombs. It's a threat, but not on the scale of a fusion bomb. It'd also be interesting to know if they use solid or liquid fuel for the missile's propellent (liquid fuel being far more dangerous to use).
