HOWARD BAKER: Threat in Korea 'deadly'

[jswordy]

TOKYO -- Breaking with the Bush administration's muted response to North Korea, Howard Baker Jr., the departing U.S. ambassador to Japan, has blasted Pyongyang as a nuclear proliferator and called its bomb arsenal "a deadly threat."

"The thing I worry most about with the North Koreans, to tell you the truth, is not that they're going to bomb Tokyo, but rather that they have a demonstrated record of selling any military device they own," Baker said this week in a news briefing marked by bluntness as he prepared to leave Japan on Thursday, ending three and a half years in the post. "A regime such as the North Koreans', with that record, selling nuclear material to all comers, is a very serious issue."

2. What the HELL are you talking about??

The US NEVER gave North Korea any nukes. I don't know where you got that silly idea. They were all developed by the North Koreans themselves.

Get your head out of the sand.

4. Developed by N Korea or a collaboration with a certain Pakistani

nuclear scientist? Or for that matter scientific expertise from another nation?

5. Gee any country selling weapons to other countries must be stopped

D'Oh....... isn't that the USAs main export? Are we not the largest producer and supplier of weapons in the world? I guess we just want the world to be a safe place so Defense Contracters go broke.....:shrug:
