I don't think so. I think they have been building for several years. During that time, Chamberlain want-to-be's did their best efforts to dismiss uranium enrichment allegation as N. Korea's another big lie to scare the West or sinister smear campaign by neocons to push hard-line action against N. Korea.

They will now turn around and say, "Let's accept the reality and make the best out of this by cutting a deal with N. Korea." Circumstances change but the conclusion is always the same for these morons.

A long planned Hillary distraction to augment her credentials when she gets a sweet softball interview from adoring liberal Chris Wallace on FNS today.

NORKS doing more nukes-wow what a headline.

Hecker, who is regularly given rare glimpses of the North's secretive nuclear program, acknowledged that it was not clear what North Korea stood to gain by showing him the formerly secret area.

The same thing that Soviet Union gained by displaying nuclear weapons at the Mayday parade, or the Nazis gained by taking Lindbergh on tours of aircraft plants. In law, it's known as communicating a threat.

do I really have to say it???

What?

Not much new here. They started collecting parts in 2000 for a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment program because the Russians and Chinese cut them off from vital parts for their Plutonium program.

Here is the CIA report from November 19, 2002:

Wehave seen an elevated parts procurement in the last two years, mainly by masking the identity of parts shipped through China. In 2007 and 2008 we discovered highly enriched uranium particles in aluminum tubes at Yongbyon when we inspected the destruction of the cooling towers there and the gutting of the machine shop.

Hardly a hidden facility, that's where the centrifuges are now, the old machine shop.

Here's a report from a month ago on the NK uranium enrichment program:

BTW, very unlikely NK will build a bomb. They need cash and most likely they will sell the weapons grade uranium to Myanmar, Venezuela, Iran, Syria.

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies.....

NK = perfect contract nuke producers for the axis of evil

Crazy dictator and hard to attack, since there are thousands of Americans and millions of Korean civilians within rocket and artillery range
