Wash Times 11/03 - "U.S. speeds attack plans for North Korea"
http://washingtontimes.com/national/20061103-122702-4895r.htm

"The Pentagon has stepped up planning for attacks against North Korea's nuclear program and is bolstering nuclear forces in Asia, said defense officials familiar with the highly secret process.
The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the accelerated military planning includes detailed programs for striking a North Korean plutonium-reprocessing facility at Yongbyon with special operations commando raids or strikes with Tomahawk cruise missiles or other precision-guided weapons.

The effort, which had been under way for several months, was given new impetus by Pyongyang's underground nuclear test Oct. 9 and growing opposition to the nuclear program of Kim Jong-il's communist regime, especially by China and South Korea.

A Pentagon official said the Department of Defense is considering "various military options" to remove the program. "Other than nuclear strikes, which are considered excessive, there are several options now in place. Planning has been accelerated," the official said."

---- NOW this should make people sit up and take notice as to what Bush is capable of doing-----

3. How Far Will Bush Go To Risk The Lives and Security Of So Many?
This was written as a serious piece of reporting.

And we were worried about Bush attacking Iran.... LOL

Maybe Bush is going for a 'Twofer' --attack Iran AND NKorea at same time!
