Isn't this extortion?

N. Korea agrees to disarm as long as we give them a crapload of money in the form of fuel. Oh well, I guess it's probably cheaper than spending a billion a day on a war against them.

"Under the deal, the North would receive initial aid equal to 50,000 tons of heavy fuel oil for shutting down and sealing its main nuclear reactor and related facilities at Yongbyon, north of the capital, within 60 days, to be confirmed by international inspectors.

For irreversibly disabling the reactor and declaring all nuclear programs, the North will eventually receive another 950,000 tons in aid."

Its extortion among criminals. Its called negotiations among politicians. And a criminal can only steal and cheat in the order of millions of dollars. Politicians don't have that handicap.

    Well said bro.

They're wanting to test a new bomb in Nevada, near southern Utah (story here).
I'm thinking this would be the perfect time to "test" it...over N. Korea instead.

Holy crap!  My mom lives about 40 miles southwest of st.george Utah and they are testing the bomb about 25 miles from there.

You should tell her to pack her bags, if this thing goes through.

the most incredulous thing about this, is that they are just full of sheit.  USSR did this same thing after the cold war.  USSR claimed to have many active, ready nuclear missile silos that the U.S. intelligence community could not confirm nor verify.  After the wall came down and USSR dismantled less than gracefully, UN nuclear inspectors came in to oversee the dismantling of many nuclear silos in order for the new "russian" states to obtain UN aid.  The inspectors found that a large majority of all the nuclear silos were in disarray, inoperable status and have been that way for over 10-25 years.

So I guess, N. Korea took good notes from the commie beotch ass neighbors and decided to pull the wool over the U.S. eyes one more time to get what they need in order to invade S. Korea.

And once again.. the U.S. is paying for other countries inability to sustain their own government and citizens. 

Man I wish my tax dollars would go to providing 50,000 tons of heavy fuel to get us out of a gas price fiasco when we needed it.

This is all horsesheit in a bucket that just gets passed around and around until all the citizens see it has fertilizer.... Guess what... no matter how positive fertilizer is, its still sheit.

~okay.. I am done LOL~

I think you're right, RD. As soon as they get the last of that fuel I bet they'll be starting up their program again hoping for another payment of US tax dollars. Why do we cowtow to these spoiled babies?

[greenpigs]

I agree with RD on this one.
