So much for all of the smoke that Washington has been blowing up our ass, they have said as recently as yesterday that they seriously doubted N. Korea had, or could deliver a nuke via a missile.

Pentagon: NKorea could launch nuclear missile


WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. intelligence report concludes that North Korea has advanced its nuclear knowhow to the point that it could arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead, a jarring revelation in the midst of bellicose threats from the unpredictable communist regime.

President Barack Obama urged calm, calling on Pyongyang to end its saber-rattling while sternly warning that he would "take all necessary steps" to protect American citizens.

The new American intelligence analysis, disclosed Thursday at a hearing on Capitol Hill, says the Pentagon's intelligence wing has "moderate confidence" that North Korea has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles but that the weapon was unreliable.

Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., read aloud what he said was an unclassified paragraph from a secret Defense Intelligence Agency report that was supplied to some members of Congress. The reading seemed to take Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by surprise, who said he hadn't seen the report and declined to answer questions about it.

In a statement late Thursday, Pentagon press secretary George Little said: "While I cannot speak to all the details of a report that is classified in its entirety, it would be inaccurate to suggest that the North Korean regime has fully tested, developed or demonstrated the kinds of nuclear capabilities referenced" in Lamborn's remarks.

'"The United States continues to closely monitor the North Korean nuclear program and calls upon North Korea to honor its international obligations," Little added.

The DIA conclusion was confirmed by a senior congressional aide who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Pentagon had not officially released the contents. The aide said the report was produced in March.

Is it bad that I'm kinda hoping they actually launch one? It would be cool if no one got killeded, but I'm real curious to see how everyone reacts to junior.

I'm waiting for one of his generals to stomp a mudhole in his ass and walk it dry.

I heard on the radio that they put in launch codes.

I'm not sure but the fuel oxidizer (I think that is what it is) is caustic and will start to eat through the tanks after a couple of days.

I was watching a show regarding old WWII bombs, that Hydrogen Rocket Fuel is some nasty stuff. The only thing separating the two chemicals is a aluminum cylinder.

That is why I specifically threw Japan in there, all of the N. Korea missile 'tests' have flown right over Japan or over their territorial waters. Considering N. Korea threatened Japan earlier this week, I'm sure they will be taking it as a real issue.

They should.

I read yesterday that they fueled it, can they be defueled?
