North Korea Air Sample Shows Radiation
Apocalypse111 writes, "According to CNN.com, air samples taken over North Korea have not yet shown any radiation from the event on Monday that North Korea claims was a nuclear test. This is not definitive proof that the event was non-nuclear, as it may either have been so small and deep that it did not let any radioactive debris escape, or perhaps the North Koreans sealed the site." Furthering speculation over whether North Korea has actually exploded a nuclear device, vk38 writes to point out a (free) article in today's Wall Street Journal claiming that the blast could have been
set off by exploding fertilizer (ammonium nitrate). The article points to the
Texas City disaster of 1947, in which 7,700 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the hold of a ship with the estimated power of 2 to 4 kilotons of TNT.

Yup, it's all Bush's fault. I guess it was Karl Rove that mind controlled Bill Clinton into appeasing North Korea, giving them billions of our tax dollars in return for broken promises.
You loony libs can't get your story straight. Bush is an evil tyrant for liberating Iraq from Saddam, yet he's an evil tyrant for not liberating North Korea. The day Bush declares war on North Korea you'll be saying "no blood for kimche" or some other BS slogan.
In short you're a loser miserable worthless scumbag. Bush doesn't give a flying fvvk what you or your lib cohorts think about him, so please keep up the slander. He's going to stay the course and do what is right no matter how much you leftists whine.
