the crisis over north korea's nuclear weapons programme deepened yesterday as the north claimed it had made enough plutonium for six atomic bombs, and a former us defence secretary warned that the two countries could be at war by the end of the year.. the latest claim from pyongyang was communicated to the bush administration last week, three months after north korea said it was beginning to reprocess 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods that were under united nations seal until the un inspectors were ejected from the country at the end of 2002.. us intelligence agencies are now trying to determine whether the boast is true or merely another bluff by the reclusive stalinist regime.. either way, the declaration has pushed the us president a step nearer deciding whether to accede to north korea's demand for direct negotiations - and thus drop his previous insistence that he would never bow to "nuclear blackmail" - or to accelerate plans for a military strike against the north's nuclear installations.. that spectre was raised yesterday by william perry, defence secretary under president clinton, when he told the washington post that the bush administration was "losing control" of the situation.. mr perry is a specialist on korea who helped prepare the military action which mr clinton came close to launching against yongbyon and other key north korean sites in 1994. he now fears that the north is not only close to a nuclear test to show the world it is a nuclear power, but also that it could sell a weapon to a terrorist group for use against the us.. "the nuclear programme now under way in north korea poses an imminent danger of nuclear weapons being detonated in american cities," mr perry said, adding that he had reached that conclusion after talks with bush officials in washington, and with senior figures in china and south korea.. china, reckoned to have the greatest leverage over of kim jong il's renegade state, launched a new effort this week to draw the north into regional talks to defuse the crisis, but mr perry told the washington post that as far as he could see, the "diplomatic track is inconsequential" and going nowhere.. the korean crisis has been largely ignored as washington has focused almost exclusively on iraq.
You might be right, but, we have 8000 nuclear tipped missiles which can reach anyplace on earth, that might cause a little fear in North Korea.
It might but I doubt it would have any substantive effect. I would be afraid if I was the US. Because this little country could inflict some severe damage on the US. You need to read up on their capabilities.
North Korea seems to be led by men who would like to expand their tyranny as far as possible, it probably will not get better by just appeasing them.
LOL, thats what they probably think of the US. Seriously have you never thought of diplomacy? Old people die eventually. Different times bring different people to power. Think of the old USSR. What you need to do in NK is keep a cool head and win them over. This is definitely one for sweet talking! It might not do much for the rambo image but its the only way.

Borgfree, easier said than done. NK's arsenal is well hidden, some underground, some in caves. Nothing easy about it. Also the US pre-emptive disposition is now well known. I wouldn't expect the NKs to sit around and let you evacuate and configure your armaments. They would act pre-emptively with WMD. Its definitely an unwinnable situation. NK is one of countries you leave alone. If they have stuff thats bad, its too late now.
remember back to the days you were in the theocratic school and had to give talks, were they the worst or what, i remember they were suppose to run about 6-8 minutes, i had some short as 3. the talks were pointless, you would just throw some mumble jumble together and go up and talk, first the introduction (and don't forget your gestures), then read the weekly scripture and then the conclusion, all your words of wisdom.
i would rank this second on the worst list next to field service (still # 1).. how about you, did you enjoy doing them ?
i had a nightmare of turning upto the hall and finding out that I had a talk that night! It happened once. I used to alwys check the notice board when I went.

The US would be wise to keep well away. The NK's are armed to the teeth, heavily fortified in tunnels etc. They have a massive army that is well trained and the best equipment for their terrain. On the outset of hostilities NK would walk through the DMZ , having wiped out all US bases there. The US would suffer massive casualties. Iraq was easy, NK would be a nightmare. The US best seek a diplomatic solution.
Fossil Of 'Nessie Monster' Found In Loch Ness By Tom Peterkin The Telegraph - UK 7-16-3
The fossilised remains of a long-necked, carnivorous sea reptile, which existed 150 million years ago, have been found in Loch Ness.
The discovery of four perfectly preserved vertebrae of a plesiosaur - the prehistoric creature most commonly associated with modern "Nessie" sightings - has led to claims that the fossil represents the first evidence of an original Loch Ness Monster.
The fossil, which is set in grey limestone, complete with spinal chord and blood vessels, was found in shallow water by Gerald McSorley, 67, a retired scrap merchant from Stirling.
Mr McSorley said: "I literally tripped over the fossil in the water. When I put my hands down to steady myself I saw something unusual and picked it up.
"Once I had cleaned off about an inch of green algae, and I could see the texture of the bone, it became clear I had an important fossil."
Scientists at the National Museum in Scotland confirmed yesterday that the fossil - the first of its kind to be found at Loch Ness - proved that a 35ft "monster" once lived in the area.
Lyall Anderson, a curator at the National Museum of Scotland, said: "Professional palaeontologists go out looking for things like this and usually find nothing. Mr McSorley is to be congratulated on a very good find."
Many of the contemporary photographs, reconstructions and sightings of Nessie have been reminiscent of the long neck, broad body and giant paddles of the plesiosaur.
Dr Anderson said: "The plesiosaur is the image people have of the Loch Ness Monster."
The find has excited Nessie hunters, who believe that it supports their belief that a similar beast still lurks within the loch, even though the remains date from the Jurassic and Cretaceous period.
THE MOST IMPORTANT DOCTRINE IS: THE RESURRECTION HOPE.
Think about it...
So said SOJ...........I guess it is to dubs because they will all see their families and friends die...before dying themselves.......without realising to WTS promises.......just like the generations that were duped in the early 1900s, mid 1900s, late 1900s etc. etc.

remember when you were in and you needed to "research" something?
we turned to the "publications" and simply believed whatever they told us to believe.. as jws, we never were taught how to go out and really research something by looking into the history.
we were always spoon-fed what they wanted us to think and believe.. *** w67 6/1 p. 338 move ahead with jehovahs organization ***.
We have been using an aluminium 'jelly pan' for several years to make jam. I've heard that aluminium cooking pots are not recommended because the metal gets into the food. Is this the case?
Ken Oxford
It is thought that using aluminium pans for cooking acidic foods such as fruit, onions and tomatoes can play a part in the onset of dementia. Any link has not yet been conclusively proved but it may be prudent to avoid using aluminium pans and use another jelly pan for making your jams and chutneys.
