everyone will say it's not a good thing that NK did the test. The UN, China, SC, Japan and others have already said it. People will say something has to be done. Nothing will.

Fear mongering

More usless sanctions perhaps.

The UN will write letter telling them how angry they are

Tey just want to stop sitting at the kids table.

This is a whole lot of posturing on their part. Someone act scared so they go away happy.

Kim Jong-Il, eccentric or shrewd operator? | NEWS.com.au

I think this sums it up nicely

Fear mongering

"DO YOU WANT DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS THEY'D VOTE TO GIVE MORE NUKE TO NK, OMG TERRORISTS!"

Trust me, this is going to get really ugly really quick, and if I had to bet I'd say the GOP comes out on top...why? God knows, there is no possible reason, the GOP has no 2006 midterm plan to deal with NK except keep calling them evil

ofcourse people are too stupid to read past the soundbytes, so the Democrats are fucked for no good reason

"Now is the time to rally behind the leadership" (which is all GOP-run) "not to campaign against us!" and people will buy it by the horseloads

SICKGUY · 10-09-2006, 01:09 AM

it reminds of the stuff i have seen about the cold war proganda.

this is like the biggest propaganda quote..

North Korean scientists “successfully conducted an underground nuclear test under secure conditions,” the KCNA report said, adding this was “a stirring time when all the people of the country are making a great leap forward in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.”

why wont we talk directly with n.korea?

It doesn't matter

the soundbyte is going to be:

"Gay marriage has destroyed America, look at North Korea developing Nukes to annihilate America, who do you trust, Bush or Howard Dean? Vote Republican or be nuked"

And people will buy it

fuck politics

Invasion was never really an option unless they attacked SK.

USGS Earthquake Hazards Program » Magnitude 4.2 - NORTH KOREA

Looks like USGS felt something as well...

No, there was a plan to end the NK nuke program that was recommended to Bush by our State Department late 2003. But it was declined as Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld were only interested in ending the North Korean "regime" in it's entirety rather than to take any action just to end the nuclear program.

They need proof it happened first. Supposedly, only SK has info that it might have happened, based on intelligence. There hasn't been any radiation leak, so I guess they did it underground?

There's not going to be any war or attacks. NK all along has said it wanted nukes as self defense. Hasn't threatened anyone. From what I can tell, more threats have come from us and others towards them. So they have nukes, and it's confirmed, now what? Yay for them. They will get over being happy about it when they have no food. The one thing I DON'T want to see happen is Bush giving nukes to Japan as a result of this.

Exactly. They certainly didn't kill millions.
