BREAKING - South Koreans this morning are reading in their newspapers that North Korea
undertook a nuclear test in the last three months.
Is this the reason for the admission of breaking the Agreement yesterday?

Hell, let's put the blame where it belongs: on Truman! He didn't finish the job! Had he backed MacArthur, we wouldn't have this problem today! And for the record: Truman was a Demonrat!

More importantly, is Roger Clinton still considered a big act in North Korea? Whatever rogue cess pool Clinton engaged, shortly thereafter Roger would show up to packed soccer/execution stadiums. I just think Roger was a global bagman. So were fat Tony and Baby Hughie.

"I seem to recall a brief news blurb from the clinton era that posed the question 'Was the erquake in East asia a secret nuclear test?' ... the Chinese tested the friend's weapon, folks."

I have a vague memory of a news story similar to that, maybe 3-4 years ago?

There is no way N.K. could develop a nuke without the chinese helping, or at least knowing about it.

That would be Zimbabwai (sic), the former Rhodesia, and some distance from Somalia.

Woops, you are right. I should never post when my mind has stopped for the night. Thanks for the correction.

[LBGA]

It makes your argument better when you get the facts straight. Not arguing with your basic point, but sheesh!

You are absolutely right. I was thinking the right country, but typed the wrong one. Somalia is another shining example of how much good the leaders have done for their own people, but its not the country where Mugabe causes misery. Sorry for the goof.

Well Joe, You have once again shown yourself to be the juvenile mudslinger you've always been. Considering your obvious lack of a basic education, I can understand why you have great difficulties participating in a civilized intelligent debate. It's also abundantly clear why you spend most of your time here on Free Republic bashing Hispanics and launching personal attacks. It's an education thing.

Thanks for reminding me why I should ignore you and your pathetic contributions to this forum. I would suggest you stick to the Mexican bashing threads. It's more your speed!

I refuse to loathe the Stain or Jimmuh. They are beneath my expenditure of passion, and my anger might adversely affect my objectivity in trying to figure out in what ways their actions will try to bring down the U.S. -- folks, we need to keep our wits about us, and not get steamed about these low lifes (i already went through that phase anyway).

At this stage i am more interested in what is going on under the table, out of sight. we live in interesting but dangerous times, far more dangerous i suspect than we have been led to believe...

[Bogie]

Yeah, "The American people just want to move on."

[swarthyguy]

Japan is an active seismic zone and has a topnotch monitoring network.

[swarthyguy]

>>NK splashed a test rocket 300 miles west of the Washington state coast.

WOW!~ i thought the one that set alarm bells ringing all over Japan was the missile that overflew Japan and landed somewhere east in the North Pacific south of Alaska.

"Bill Clinton and Bernie Schwartz of Loral conspired to trade tech easily converted to MIRV tech for missile guidance to the CHINESE, after putting all exports UNDER the auspices of the DEPT OF COMMERCE and AWAY from the Dept of Defense...and in my mind...THAT IS TREASON."

In my mind as well...Slick Willie is a Liar, a Rapist, a Conspirator-to-Murder, an Abuser of Power, a Traitor, and a Tyrant!!

And he shall be brought to Justice for his crimes...MUD

~~~Guess between all of your nasty little insults you missed my post on the thread the other day BEFORE ANY STORY ABOUT NORTH KOREA CAME OUT!!!~~~

No need to shout. And no, I posted no insults. Just followed the logic advanced by a poster.

And no, I didn't see your post on another thread. So shoot me.

But it would not have changed by conclusion that if we act pre-emptively or AFTER the fact, some people will never be satisfied.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes indeed. The Korean chap is reading the morning edition of the "Choson Ilbo" newspaper in Seoul. Headline sez North Korea tested nukes in July or August of this year.

I'll be over there shortly. I'll try to post some first hand reports on general sentiment over the Clinton Legacy on North Korea, as felt by South Koreans. This should impact their elections for President, too, and may well shatter the 'sunshine policy' of appeaser President Kim Dae Jung of S. Korea.

[r9etb]

IF there were a test and IF it was successful, the Japanese knew about it when it happened.

Yes. And they also knew better than to take it upon themselves to address the situation. I have no doubt that we, SK, and Japan have been coordinating closely on this.

Almond joy is the one with nuts

[Tallguy]

Clinton just picked the "sunshine policy" as his administrations goal of normalizing relations which seemed a good idea at the time.

I don't think that any informed person at the time throught that Clinton's N. Korea policy was intended to do anything more than kick the problem down the road to the next administration. Looks like he succeeded.

Hint: The North Koreans are naming their next missile after their benefactor -- Bendin Dong.

[OldFriend]

Well that explains Tenet's off the wall comments yesterday that the Al Qaeda are as powerful now as they were before 9/11 and they are coming to get us............he was hiding his failure to detect the nuclear test by the North Koreans.

FIRE TENET NOW.....
