re: today's hysteria that north korea has admitted "for the first time" to having nuclear weapons.

north korea's (latest) admission of having nuclear weapons is NOT breaking news. it is not "the first time".

the mainstream media is stirring this shit up as something new. it's a fuckin press release for the american saber rattlers and north korean chest thumpers...

...but it ain't news:

North Korea admits nuclear arsenal

North Korea has said for the first time that it has nuclear weapons.

A commentary broadcast on state radio said North Korea had developed "powerful military counter-measures, including nuclear weapons" to cope with what it called mounting nuclear threats from the United States.

N. Korea 'admits having nukes'

Friday, April 25, 2003 Posted: 1:31 PM EDT (1731 GMT)

North Korea on Thursday admitted to having at least one nuclear bomb, senior Bush administration sources told CNN.

North Korea's representative Li Gun pulled aside U.S. Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly on Wednesday and told him "blatantly and boldly" that the country has at least one nuclear weapon, one official said.

Li then asked, "Now what are you going to do about it?" the official said.

Nice catch, I was wondering about that myself but thought maybe I was mis-remembering.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

5. That slogan is SO appropriate! Send it to the Dem's quick!

They can use a catchy slogan! I find it rather amusing that this story is being screeched all over MSM but the Iranians recent subtle threat to anyone that attempts to mess with them got buried!
