| I'll be more interested in how Japan, SK, China, and Russia respond. They were the ones telling them not to do it. 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?  | ||||

| I'm talking about NK launching nukes at Japan and SK! You think they'll just take the bombings without bombing back? | ||||

| anyway, this should play out beautifully for the GOP, Bush will come out with a big plan tommorow, call for an end to partisan politics, rally the nation behind him to "confront NK" and announce that anyone who opposes him is siding with NK and its nuclear threat to America and the sheep will frighten themselves to the polls | ||||

NK is the most isolated place in the world, we can't even find people in Iraq where bribery is customary, and we are going to know all the nuke sites in NK? give me a break, i wouldn't trust the CIA on that when it comes to the lives of MILLIONS of people | ||||
