North Korea Says It Has Made Fuel for Atom Bombs

They should be cautious in their approach.

He (Kim Il Jong) is a bit(!) nutty, and doesn't deserve any trust from anyone.

updated 12:57 p.m. ET July 15, 2003 China pushes new plan as N. Korea standoff heats up Former Defense Secretary William Perry thinks the US is "losing control" of the North Korea situation, reports Washington Post. Mr. Perry "warned that the United States and North Korea are drifting toward war, perhaps as early as this year, in an increasingly dangerous standoff that also could result in terrorists being able to purchase a North Korean nuclear device and plant it in a US city." Perry reportedly believes North Korea soon will have enough nuclear warheads to begin testing them and exporting them to terrorists. "It was manageable six months ago if we did the right things," he said. "But we haven't done the right things." He added:
"I have held off public criticism to this point because I had hoped that the administration was going to act on this problem, and that public criticism might be counterproductive. But time is running out, and each month the problem gets more dangerous."

According to the Post report, Perry is "the most prominent member of a growing number of national security experts and Korea specialists who are expressing deep concern about the direction of US policy toward Pyongyang."

The United States has so much!
Couldn't it just share?
A few hundred nuclear bombs given away as a gesture of good will ...

Having nuclear fuel and converting that into workable nuclear bombs is a huge jump in development. Has NK ever tested nuclear weapons? Next question: Where are they going to use their nuclear weapons against? South Korea? If the wind blows funny, they're going to suffer some of the consequences of the nuclear bomb. Interesting dilemma for NK. c.i.
