They would be a more reliable source of info, but Il HAS kept a lot of his promises:

1. He promised to develop short to medium range missles
2. He promised to test them
3. He promised to enrich uranium
4. He promised to develop a nuclear device

He has delivered on his promises.

Believe him? Yes. Trust him?

Yikes!

WASHINGTON — Any North Korean attack on South Korea or Japan will be considered an attack on the United States, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton warned Monday.

Bolton's declaration to the Security Council, reported to the Associated Press by U.N. diplomats speaking on condition of anonymity because the meeting was closed, followed a stern statement from President Bush in response to North Korea's claim that it had successfully detonated its first nuclear weapon.

Bush called Pyongyang's nuclear test "unacceptable" and 'provocative," and warned Kim Jong-Il's regime that the U.S. would honor its commitments to protect its Asian allies

"The United States will meet the full range of our deterrent and security commitments," Bush said during a brief White House appearance.

The president said North Korea was "one of the world's leading proliferators" of weapons technology, including transfers toIran and Syria.

President Bush called the transfer of nuclear weapons or material would constitute "a grave threat to the United States, and we hold North Korea fully accountable for the consequences of such actions."

Bush also charged that North Korea had defied the international community, "and the international community will respond," a reference to Monday morning's meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

"No one defended [the test], no one even came close to defending it," Bolton told reporters during a brief break in the talks. "I was very impressed by the unanimity of the council ... on the need for a strong and swift answer to what everyone agreed amounted to a threat to international peace and security."

Chalk up the fake nuclear test to the Republican/Democrat hysteria generator, who, no matter which party controls one or two out of three branches of government come November 8th, will thrive on your terror and the Southeast Asian nuclear arms race (sales) engendered, which you will support. You're being played.

Go back to sleep, America. Everything is good.
