Sun Tzu - All war is based on deception ...

Are you getting your information from the idiots that invaded Iraq based on "Weapons of Mass Destruction".

[wafflethug]

I don't want to sound like I'm defending North Korea, but I find it hypocritical that a country that accounts for 45% of the world's military spending, and has actually dropped nukes on an opposing country, can tell another country what the can or can't do.

Folks, here is Madeleine Albright herself, *admitting* that - it was because of the "failed" Clinton Agreed Framework that N Korea has these Plutonium235 nuclear bombs that they've been setting off this past week!! [what follows is the original link to Albright's own words] Google this title -see how Clinton and the democrats fully armed N. Korea with these Plutonium235 bombs: FLASHBACK: Albright: North Korea 'Cheated' on Clinton Nuke Agreedment

What would he gain from launching a nuke? He has gained a lot by just threatening his neighbors. In fact HW Bush and Clinton gave him lots of goodies. So what would he gain by nuking another country?????????????

[TedinLasVegas]

Yeah, but Russia's not stupid enough to actually launch. Even when the commies were large and incharge, they knew they'd get blown away too.

Kim Jung-Il is unstable enough to think he can actually get away with it though.

It isn't the stable man with nukes on his belt that scares me, its the unstable man -- like Kim Jung-Il.

You just gave me the laundry list of neocon talking points. Russia has nukes that can reach Alaska.  So what? What would North Korea gain buy launching a nuke at another country? If it did, it would be instantly obliterated. What is to gain from that? Does it occur to any pea-brain neocons that North Korea is worried about being invaded so they developed a nuke as a bargaining chip. They know the USA won't dare attempt to pull an Iraq on a country armed with a nuke.

[TedinLasVegas]

Well, they've shown a willingness and capability to launch medium- and short-range missiles and attempts to launch long-range missile -- all of which can carry a nuke warhead.

They can hit Alaska with their missiles.

Add in that D'ohBama's stupid enough to kill National Missile Defense, even though Bush got it to work, and we're left open to nuclear devastation.

Is that clear enough for you?

[y2knoproblem]

I wished these idiots would answer one simple question with rational and relevant facts to back it up. How does North Korea pose a "grave threat" to national and global security?

[CYLONEJACK]

Give it 100 years and you could produce a nuke in your bathroom. The progress of modern day technology makes it impossible to control these weapons.

2009 MT Car of the year? I think not boyo watch?v=iHt1RRA9LJ0. As for their market share, well, there's no accounting for taste is there? The Genesis is decent I'll grant you but one mediocre luxury car isn't enough to make up for all the rest of the shite KIA, Hyundai and their ilk flood the market with.
