First, what an abomination seeing that man, Barry Soeto, at Arlington National Cemetery.

" Our enemies see we our Leadership under Obama in FREE FALL and they are going to do whatever they wish. Knowing that Obama will make no move to punish them in ANY significant way."

Since the Chinese have been stonewalling our efforts to clamp down on Lil Kim, my idea is to completely freak out the Chi-Coms by asking the Fed to buy more Treasuries. The Dallas Fed President recently came back from China and they were in complete panic about the Fed monetizing our debt. I’m afraid that’s all we have left to bargain with – bankruptcy.

an interesting link that illustrates the blast radius of various nuclear weapons. type in your zip or that of the nearest city to see what you’d be in for if you were unfortunate enough to be near ground zero.

Interesting link, particularly when you use the 50 Mt bomb the Soviets produced in 1961. Pretty much wipes out everything in a 50 mile circle.

[recklessly challenging the international community — obviously, soon to be equated with the “settlements” policy of Israel]

Has anyone seen Kim Jong?

[Seeking the truth]

I believe the Choson Ilbo rumors

What do you mean by this?

Fail

Good post potlatch

Thanks, I know it’s the ‘same ol’, same ol’ but still in style.

Phil, your graphics are really improving. Good for you.

I agree that The One is clueless. They’ve brought back Ted Mac’s original amateur hour. Obama won.

I believe it is time to end the NK threat once and for all. Unfortunately, neither the “vaunted intelligensia”, some of whom work at the UN, nor the current US administration, have the balls to declare the 1953 “truce” violated, and bring this war to conclusion.

GWB did a pretty darned good job during his 8 years of keeping NK at bay after the STOOPID Carter-Klintooon fumble of their opportunity. SNOBama is very unlikely to have the balls to carry on in that successful path.

I agree, Bozo will NOT have the stones to do anything.

[PhilDragoo]

I suggest Hussein will allow Kim Jong-Il's programs--as he is protecting Ahmadinejad's--not due to any "lack of stones", but rather because that is where Hussein lives:

He is an Islamo-Communist.

[calex59]

Yep, he is indeed a Muslim.

I assume that those photos are of the site of the previous test. They are, indeed spectacular! My guess is that they are pre-explosion -- right?

Unless I am badly mistaken, the site of the present test was as shown in http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2257577/posts?page=128#128.

I don't have any special Google Earth capabilities -- certainly nothing like what you appear to have. What can you see at the site I identified?

the products of the chain reaction will eventually get into
the atmosphere where they may be collected by airborne platforms.
