North Korea Performs Nuclear Test

[MannyIsGod]

Per AP, CNN, whoever else is reporting it.

In other news, no WoMD found in Iraq.

Are You ting Me!!!??

[Bob Lanier]

No, he's not.

Or, OH NOES A NUCULAR WEEPON TEH WORLDS DOOMED

[PixelPusher]

underground test? (I hope)

[CubanMustGo]

Apparently so. NK reports no radiation leaks.

taken with ginormous grain of salt. Don't we have spy planes in the area monitoring for radiation? I thought I saw Rummy talking about that 2 days ago.

[MannyIsGod]

I conceed that there's no proof yet, but if it was an underground test there should be sesmic proof soon enough.

I doubt they're going about what planes we have where and what they are doing unless they are far dumber than I give them credit for being (which is already pretty ing dumb).

The radiation from any type of test NK has the capicity to carry out is minimal either way. But there will be sesmic data that would have been captured had the test taken place. Japan and South Korea should both know for sure if the test took place, but South Korea had some kind of emergency meeting so I think this may hold water.

I guess the point I was trying to make was that had the explosion been above ground you wouldn't be worried about radiation leaks (that and about a bazillion spysats would have picked up an image of the explosion).

Hopefully this is just NK blowing smoke and the seismic evidence will not support their claim to have exploded a nuke. All we need is that lunatic with a nuke to (a) lob at Seoul or Tokyo the next time he gets his nose out of joint or (b) to sell for big $$ to Al-Queda.

Not good.

Will be interesting to see how the U.S. and the U.N. respond.

[B.AlMighty]

That's just in' great.

[MannyIsGod]

They do have sesmic evidence to indicate a test according to the State Dept per CNN

[clambake]

Whats the big deal!!! We tested this weapon before we dropped FatMan and Little Boy! We did this to protect our troops!!!

Maybe others are testing these weapons for the same reason!!!!!

Rumor has it that an unleashed pitbull named Bush is roaming their neighborhood.


Welcome to the neighborhood America, because pitbulls don't talk.

Was a 10-15 ton blast...equivalent of Hiroshima.

Another success brought to you by BushCo.

The U.N. Security Council last Friday urged North Korea not to carry out a test, warning Pyongyang of unspecified consequences if it did.

The U.N. has just called for an emergency Security Council meeting. Let's see what the unspecied consequences are.

probably nothing much, China will make sure of that.

[JohnnyMarzetti]

Let's see what Dumbya says about it this morning. He knows ain't really we can do and a military response is out of the question.

Thank you Jimmy Carter and Ex-President Bill Clinton. You did your
job well.

Now folks we have a real concern for our safety. Not because they may have
missiles. But because the child drunk will do anything for money and a little more
power. Wonder how long before the AQ delegation arrives to offer their
congratulations and proffer an offer for a bomb that they can smuggle in
across our borders and plant in some city here in the United States. Think they
wont, think again, think again.

I can hear some here now. Oh, they are a long ways from being able to
provide a bomb for AQ. Yeah, and they were years away from making their
own, weren't they? Now, on the other side of the world, Iran is still working
on theirs, guess where they may want to buy a little enriched goodies for
their own bomb.

Thanks again to our two ex-Presidents Carter and Clinton for their work in
helping NK get their own play pretty.

Thanks for our current sitting president who has done nothing because he's been too pre-occupied with Iraq to pay attention to the REAL danger that is North Korea. WMD's!! WMD's!!! WMD's!!

Thanks Bush for dropping the ball that is in YOUR court.
