South Korea announced it, if I remember correctly. So where did the intelligence break down this time? Why didn't we know about this in advance. Maybe it's nothing, I just find it curious. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 623547 United States 05/25/2009 10:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, does anyone know if the US is sending more ships to that area? Had Japan dispatched anything? Seems like they are just begging someone to invade or start bombing them. Maybe they want us to put them out of their miserable existence? If the world does nothing about this, it will only mean that in a short time these nukes will get into the hands of terrorists and a huge disaster will happen that could have been prevented. Now, we invaded Iraq due to "weapons of mass distruction" and none were ever found. N Korea is blatently firing off missles and now nukes underground...seems just slightly worse than Iraq, but that's just me. |
