North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons
steelvadi writes "North Korea has now admitted to possessing nuclear weapons. Government officials there claimed that they are needed as defense from an increasingly hostile attitude from Washington. It was also stated that N. Korea will not be reentering negotiations on disarmament for the foreseeable future. "
A country that has the ability to obliterate one of it's neighbors and uses that fact for negotiations.
Sounds more like the US to me. Except that for the US the neighborhood it "negotiates" with extends across the world.

t'd be real easy to resolve. Let the fuckers nuke each other. The U.S. can take out Asia, the Krazy Koreans can take out the western seaboard. If they can hit Texas, an awful lot of problems would be resolved.
I'm afraid the real problem is in Washington, and I live a bit too close to there to feel comfortable with that "solution".
The sooner the better.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
"outside of America, everyone knew Saddam DIDN't have WMDs".
Sorry, but that's complete FUD.
From this article:
Jacques Chirac: "we have to find and destroy them [Iraq's weapons of mass destruction]."
Hans Blix: Iraq possesses 650 kilograms of "bacterial growth media," enough "to produce . . . 5,000 litres of concentrated anthrax."
and that's leaving out the Clinton quotes.
Not to mention the fact that France, the UN and many other people were in Saddam's back pocket because of the money they received in the "Oil for Food" program. No wonder they were against war in Iraq. They already sold out.
So get off your damn high horse and quit acting all holier than tho. Getting bribed to keep a dictator in power isn't a virtue.
Nice of you to belittle other countries efforts in Iraq.
And there's NO evidence that Bush "bought their cooperation". You made that up, or you're listening to people that made that up and believe it. You know how I know that? Because if it had happened, every freakin' paper the the country would have been blasting it all across the front pages. It's just a conspiracy theory.
There is however, a LOT of evidence that Saddam bought off the French, the UN (Kofi's son, for one) and many other countries with the "Oil for Food" scandal that's still being investigated.
well, outside of America, everyone knew Saddam DIDN'T have WMDs. the inspectors didn't find a single thing.
I think the intelligence experts of most countries knew that Saddam DID have WMSs.
Actually, I'm a little surprised that the pacifists don't congratulate Dubya on his honesty. I assume most such people assumed that the US would simply plant or fabricate some WMD evidence after invading. If any had been found, this would have been the first thing out of such people's mouths.
We'll just see if the Europeans have any luck negotiating with Iran. My fear is that they will, and they will be celebrating peace in our time while Iran builds The Bomb at their secret sites unhindered.

They're fucking dying anyway you idiot.
Much less would die in the long run and it would be a much quicker and much less painfull death.
But hey, it's easy to talk shit when you're living the high life. Fuck 'em. Let 'em all die of starvation right? It was their choice to be born in that hell hole.
