The Question Is.......Who Will Get There First?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Kim Jong Il? Check this out.......

The planet's number-one nutcase, North Korean Dear Leader Kim Jong-il, has escalated his war of words with the United States, threatening to attack US cities with hydrogen bombs.

From an article today in the Asia Times, "Why Pyongyang is Going Nuclear," comes close to a declaration of war.

Excerpts:

"The time is coming fast to decide who is the winner and who the loser in the long-standing conflict between the Korean people....

"The North Korean government of Kim Jong-il is going to show who the real masters of Korea are by winning the nuclear standoff with the US. The Korean people adamantly refuse to be second-class citizens, but are determined to prove that they are sovereign masters of the Land of Morning Calm....

"The KPA is now capable of detonating hydrogen bombs far above the metropolises of the US in case of war. The Koreans are now able to fight nuclear war on the Japanese and US battlegrounds.

"There should be no doubt that the government of Kim Jong-il and his armed forces would never allow the enemy to attack first. On detecting the slightest signs that the US intends to launch a first strike, Kim would order his armed forces to move first and blaze key US metropolitan targets with high-precision nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), several exploding at high altitudes. It goes without saying that operating nuclear power stations would be prime targets, sitting ducks.

"The stage is being put in place where North Korea will demonstrate its potential capability for the rest of the world to see. Korean scientists and engineers are ready to detonate nuclear devices at any time on orders from Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il. More and more nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles are being cranked out on a crash-program basis in a bid to catapult North Korea to the spot of the third-most-powerful nuclear-weapons state just after the US and Russia."


What is China going to do? More on that in a bit.........
