N. Korea Ups Stakes With Missile Peddling
North Korea's latest missile peddling in sub-Saharan Africa underlines some of Washington's worst fears as talks stall on dealing with the communist country's nuclear weapons programs.

Wednesday's revelation that North Korea was discussing a possible deal to share missile technology with Nigeria, a country far from its traditional customer base in the Middle East, ratchets up the tensions. The sales are legal, but come at a senstitive time when Washington and its allies are worried about the North's nuclear ambitions.

Are we living in bizzaro world? We hawk our childrens future by premtively invading, killing, and stealing from a country that had nothing more then some out-of-date tanks and some ak's while we watch another country sell them on e-bay? blalalalalalaalaa

2. Gee, why would anyone want to buy missiles from North Korea?
I mean, who are they afraid of?

Oh, that's right - the United States. Nevermind!

4. We invade Iraq because they could give WMD to terrorists?
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 10:57 AM by doc03
One of the Bush people actually said that the reason we invaded Iraq was that the other axis of evil countries were not likely to supply weapons to terrorists. Didn't the SCUDS come from Korea? They have put out so much misinformation I can't even remember which one said that. Most people still think they found WMD in Iraq. Just like the
day the O'Neill story came out the Dutch found the missiles that were reportably used for WMD's. Then a week latter they said that they were not, but I have had Repubs tell me about them being found. I told them they latter reported that they were not WMD, but they refuse to believe that part, they say "that's just the liberal media". I have found that you just can't argue with these people,
they only belive what they hear on FOX, everthing else is just the "liberal media".
