North Korea Has More Than 100 Nuclear Bombs and Will Make More

Your image didn't work. Instead it shows 'BUSTED! This image stolen..' yadda yadda yadda, and a pic of a guy getting hit in the face.

[TLI]

"Unlikely. But they do have two or three, or maybe four or five by this time, and delivery vehicles to put them in."
 


Somehow, this just does not strike me as "scary."

[Enemy Of The State]

"Reminds me of the Jonestown suicide cult in 1978. "

Without the Koolaid even..

[Stopislamnow]

LA or Sanfran?

Tuff call.

Maybe they'll just hit the fault line and get em both.

(humor)

(well, maybe a little wishful thinking too)

Take your best shot, Kim Jong. We're ready.

I bet the people on the left coast and in Hawaii disagree with you.

This is an unpopular sentiment around here, but I worry more about NK than I do Iraq. We can contain Iraq quite easily. Hell, the only country that probably feels directly threatened by Iraq at this point is Israel, and if Iraq wants to play with WMDs, Israel will melt Baghdad to the ground, and Hussein knows it and that does keep him in check (Hussein is more evil than crazy - he's crazy no doubt about it, but he's sane enough to want to keep control of his country). I would even through in the spiel about the Saudis killing many times more Americans on 9/11 than the Iraqies have in the past 12 years.

North Korea on the other hand - Kim is just plain ****ing crazy. He is working his butt off (or rather the butts of his engineers and scientists) so that he can hit the US from where he is at, and he is bragging quite openly about it (nevermind that we are feeding half his country). We are sitting here playing with Iraq, and if we don't do something soon about North Korea, folks on out west are going to have to start thinking about bomb shelters again.

We don't have a "shield" to protect us from NK's missiles in a year or two, and while they aren't sophisticated guidance wise, when your playing with nukes, you don't have to be that accurate. Germany did a damn good job of hitting London with conventionals and doing a lot of damage and causing a lot of chaos, with 1930s and 40s technology.

[HighRoadToChina]

"But if Bush agrees to talk, Kim Jong Il will accept US-led inspections and the eventual reunification of Korea, which inevitably will lead to a democratic, unified nation. After unification, Kim Jong Il will step down and let the people of Korea elect their national leader..."

That is the best joke today. HAHAHA!!!

North Korea: "Give us free stuff or we'll nuke you."

[Defender2]

We're not going to waste any time with them. If DPRK commits an act of war, they will simply cease to exist.

[Cicero]

No, but they do have missiles capable of reaching Hawaii or L.A. And who knows what the Chinese may have slipped them under the table or somebody may have decided to sell after the breakup of the U.S.S.R.? Not to mention our greedy friends the French.

[Enemy Of The State]

"North Korea: "Give us free stuff or we'll nuke you.""

That is exactly what it boils down to.

[BulletBobCo]

Surveillance flight deep into North Korea after they use a nuke

[veryconernedamerican]

not going to happen, we are 3 for five knocking these things down with elborate counter-measures installed and with one kill vehicle, and getting better each time. if they launched we would launch multiple kill vehicles to intercept no chance it would reach the us, we were fitted to knock down hundreds if not thousands of russian missiles
otherwise the stock piles would not have been so big, two or three won't get through. the real danger is smuggling them in, then detonating, this could be done much easier in large containers already being shipped with legitimate cargo. either way the response from us we be too swift for thier liking. i.e. my money says this is blackmail that will never amount to sh*t.

[TBall]

I'm so sick of hearing about North Korean rhetoric. America needs to just say no to appeasement.

BRAVO SIERRA

"More than 100" Nice round number.

BS Meter is off the scale.

[Fulbright]

Great posts, EOTS. Keep kicking them where it hurts. The situation with the ROK is orders of magnitude worse than the pending Sandstorm Fiasco in Iraq and Kuwait.

[Fulbright]

There was a report this week that a North Korean dummy warhead found solid ground at last..in Alaska.

[RightWhale]

Makes that single flight of ABMs at Greeley woefully short of adequacy. It was designed to stop 5 or so missiles. A large salvo--100 would qualify as large--would make the ABM a mere gesture. The ABM would need to be upgraded to 20 flights to make a difference in a 100 missile attack. Can it be done? Sure, it's just money, which is flowing like water these days. Of course the money won't matter if the missiles are launched, so spend it while you got it.

[Optimist]

North Korea: "Give us free stuff or we'll nuke you."

[First_Salute]

Bump.

[Maringa]

With North Korea's missile threat, this will be a great opportunity for Bush to proceed with asking Congress for accelerated funds to develop anti-missile technology. N. Korea's missile threat would then become moot....
