What is all of this stupid talk about North Korea???
Edited on Thu Feb-10-05 06:34 PM by independentchristian
Am I missing something?

North Korea "admitted" that they had nuclear weapons yeaaaaarrrrrrsssss ago!

Why in the world is the media acting like we just now found out that North Korea has nuclear weapons?

We knew that at least 2 years ago, and Kerry and Edwards mentioned that they had at least 2 nuclear weapons and had increased their nuclear capabilities under Bush's watch.

I get so sick and tired of the media manipulating the American people because they know that they are shortsighted with short memories.

We knew that North Korea had nuclear weapons years ago, duh.

Stop acting like they just got'em. This resurfacing of an old story must be a distraction of some kind. x(

1. Nah I think they finally admited to them
wtih real proof,

And think of the timning this is not the US Press

Look at me, I got WMDs,

If this becomes a REAL crisis... you may even see the PNAC plan derailed or slowed down, giving Iran time to put together the new Oil market, based in Euros

Though Fox's screen capture last night was ironic

Breaking N. Korea admits to Nukes
Rice warns Iran of consequences if they continue to DEVELOP nukes

3. This is a real issue
North Korea has always been a threat, wheras Iran, Iraq and Syria NEVER were.

I do think we can resolve this without a war, however. If we had a real President, who knew how to negotiate, they would have been working with China from day one for them to take care of it.

Telling China "Either you take care of this, or we will" would have sent the message. Beleive me, the last thing China wants at this point is a war in their backyard.

5. PLUS...
North Korea and South Korea on their own are improving relations. I'd say, leave the siblings alone to work it all out.

6. Every six months or so
There is a screaming headline saying something like "NORTH KOREA ADMITS FOR THE FIRST TIME IT HAS THE A-BOMB>>>RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!"


Somehow, our crack investigative reporters can't remember that they just posted the same crap about 15 times in the last four years.
