North Korea's Secret Biochemical Arsenal

mattnyc99 writes "Popular Mechanics has an in-depth report on North Korea's biological and chemical weapons stock, which has been developed in secret and has gone largely unnoticed amidst the country's nuke threat. From the article: 'North Korea's Chemical and Bioweapons (CBW) program appears to be modeled on that of the former Soviet Union, which covertly constructed a massive biological weapons infrastructure within the shell of a civilian research organization called Biopreparat. Inside Biopreparat, the Soviets developed deadly agents that included weaponized forms of anthrax and pneumonic plague. Intelligence reports from the United States and South Korea list anthrax, smallpox, pneumonic plague, cholera and botulism toxins as leading components of North Korea's bioweapons projects.' "

By your post it would seem you prefer the blue kool-aid.

You have just provided the talking points of the social progressives instead of the talking points of the neo-cons.

That's because there isn't a "Liar" mod yet.

Two things:

1 North Korea has no oil;
2 North Korea has an army that will fight back.
