N. Korea More Nukes



Found this on the news today: <a href=\'http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200504/200504190032.html\' target=\'_blank\'>http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/new...0504190032.html</a>

N. Korea Confirms Shutting down Reactor for Nukes

North Korea has confirmed it shut down a nuclear reactor and plans to reprocess the spent fuel rods for nuclear warheads, USA Today reported Tuesday. The daily quoted the country?s deputy ambassador to the UN Han Sang-ryol, as saying Pyongyang was taking the step to ?increase its deterrent against a possible U.S. attack.?
\\"The ball is in the U.S. court,\\" Han said according to the paper?s online edition. \\"We asked the United States to change its hostile policy. Then we can believe the United States and enter the disarmament process. If the U.S. policy is normal and friendly, (North Korea) will feel safe.\\"
He said harsh rhetoric from Washington was making it difficult for his country to go back to six-party nuclear disarmament talks. Pyongyang is furious that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has labeled it an ?outpost of tyranny.?
?If North Korea carries out the threat, it would mark the second time in two years that it has removed fuel rods from its reactor in Yongbyon to make bomb material,? the newspaper said.
?The CIA has estimated it possesses from two to eight? nuclear weapons, the paper said, adding that reprocessing the reactor fuel could give it an additional six.

Isn't that special? What more insane way to blackmail other countries to get what you want then by building your own Nukes.

I am not sure what is worse, Koreas' new nukes or 'extra' nuclear materials that were never accounted for during Russias Heyday of manufacturing.

It seems that instead of being repremanded for not acheiving quotas each period, folks there got the smart idea to over produce during each cycle to insure that they would always meet their quotas. The over production was never officially counted, until it was added to meet quotas.

The fact that N. Korea has nukes is bad, but worse is their known penchant for disseminating such weaponry to anyone with enough money to afford it. That is the real problem here.

Warning Possible Conspiracy Theory Ahead:
Isn't it weird how governments can loose things of great importance?...i.e nuclear materials, evidence from Waco, etc.

John, this isn't a conspiricy, it's from a NOVA show or something like it where Our Nuke Scientists go over to 'somethingorother'16 a city in Russia that is not on any map, it's where all of Russias fissionable materials have been made foe all of their Nuclear Missles, the Russians showed the Americans how it's stored, and made, also they were trading tricks on a new age weapon or source of distructive energy, something about 'pulsing' ? It was durin this show where the Russians let known that because more was made each shift and 'hidden' there could be problems because it never 'officialy' existed / therefore impossible to keep tabs on it...

That is extremely disturbing also Starlord. But we are looking in Russia at small amounts of fissionable materials being stolen and smuggled etc. Korea will be selling the entire weapons systems to anyone with cash. That includes missile technology, launching systems, triggers, whatever you need.
