NKorea says it will 'weaponize' its plutonium
By KWANG-TAE KIM, Associated Press Writer Kwang-tae Kim, Associated Press Writer – 6 mins ago
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea vowed Saturday to step up its atomic bomb-making program and threatened war if its ships are stopped as part of new U.N. sanctions aimed at punishing the nation for its latest nuclear test.
North Korea's Foreign Ministry also acknowledged for the first time that the country has a uranium enrichment program, and insisted it will never abandon its nuclear ambitions. Uranium and plutonium can be used to make atomic bombs.

You just "blew" my mind lol....
Ah well, were screwed now.
As much as they have a right to have one, i just hope they dont use it.
I just hope we can spot one and shoot it down if they do launch it before it reaches somewhere it could do some damage. Like when it's still in North Korean airspace.
Be funny if China, Pakistan, India, and us all nuked them at once.
North Korea have a history of failure launched missles.We shouldn't worry about it.Let them go ahead and launched the missile.

I doubt China and Pakistan would fire a nuke at north korea., not sure on about india. Still remember there are innocent people in NK.
Yes, it will be even way funnier when that radioactive dust cloud from our nukage of NK reaches our airspace.
Meh, it's overrated.
If they tried to launch an ICBM it would probably be miss-fired and land right in the middle of Pyongyang.
Now that would be funny. :evil:
Now *that* would be funny. :lol:
".... 3...2.....1...We will crush you!!!......Uh-oh..."

And he is too immature.
North Korea continues to position forces into the area just north of the DMZ— in a position to threaten Combined Forces Command and all of Seoul with little warning. Seventy percent of their active force, including approximately 700,000 troops, over 8,000 artillery systems, and 2,000 tanks, is postured within 90 miles of the Demilitarized Zone. This percentage continues to rise despite the June 2000 summit. Most of this force in the forward area is protected in over 4,000 underground facilities, out of over 11,000 nationwide. From their current locations, these forces can attack with minimal preparations or warning. The protracted southward deployment follows a tactic of "creeping normalcy"—a significant movement over a period of many years that would attract too much international attention if accomplished over weeks or months.
According to remarks made by General LaPorte, commander USFK, during congressional testimony in March 2003 North Korea has for the past 10 or 12 years adapted its military on what the military leadership perceives as the strengths of the United States military. The KPA has adapted in several ways. First in terms of communications the North Korean military has developed an indigenous, frequency-hopping radio that allows soldiers to communicate in a secure mode. Fiber optics have been installed between fixed facilities. And in attempt to protect its forces from US surveillance and air capabilities, the North Koreans have built a tremendous number of underground facilities throughout North Korea to protect leadership and critical forces.
We could still kick their ass. We have superior firepower.
Not against China you don't.
Were talking about North Korea right?
Do you own an atlas? :-)
The Korean war always was a sort of covert war against China and communism in general by the US.

Well, you know what i mean. Still hate wars, WHY CANT WE ALL DRUNK THE KOOL AID AND GET ALONG!
Most of us can.
But there will always we nutcase dictatorships.
Just keep the darn nukes out of their hands...
QuoteWHY CANT WE ALL DRUNK THE KOOL AID AND GET ALONG!
BECAUSE FEAR IS THE SOIL IN WHICH POWER IS GROWN!
You know, I'm sure if someone launched a missile or two from a sub, they wouldn't be able to trace which country fired it.
They could via forensic evidence... like what type of missile it was and how big the explosion was.
And exactly where the Uranium/plutonium came from, where it was refined and thus who it belonged to. There are not too many country's with Nuclear capable submarines.
Of course North Korea has no intention of actually using their nukes, that would be suicide. They want us to think they will, because just like us it is a deterrent against aggressors. The same applies to Iran.
The questions you should be asking yourself is, why do our own governments want us to fear them? Most of the answer is in my post above, the rest is already history, they know that they have allot to fear from us, we already proved that beyond any doubt. The real issue is our own (humanity's) inability to ensure that we are led by sane people, and not by power hungry psychopath's prepared to murder millions over subtle differences on how an economy is run or weather they will sell their goods to us.
i feel that North Korea and Iran wont use their weapons. They aren't that stupid...i hope, but what they will do is use the fact that they have nuclear weapons as a way of bullying other countries to do what they want. They can push their international agendas easier.
