YAY Nukes!

SEOUL, South Korea - South Korean government officials said
North Korea performed its first-ever nuclear weapons test Monday, the South's Yonhap news agency reported.

South Korean officials could not immediately confirm the report.

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun convened an urgent meeting of security advisers over the issue, Yonhap reported.

The North said last week it would conduct a nuclear test as part of its deterrent against a possible U.S. invasion.

Sweet! I miss nuclear panic!

I can't build a bomb shelter 'cause of the water table.

Dude, do you have any idea how much the rent on a two-person fallout shelter would be in San Francisco? We're talking $900-$3200, depending on the neighborhood!

So, you're just gonna run around instead?

So who wants to play Defcon?

A more in-depth report of it.

no worries, the world is not ending tomorrow ...

The decidedly less optimistic modern version of "Annie".

Well, fuck. I got all of these 'end of the world' cupcakes in the oven.

Can I have one?

Let's see now, that makes . . .

U.S.A.
Russia
United Kingdom
France
People's Republic of China
India
Pakistan
Israel
Now The Democratic People's Republic of Korea!

Well, the nuclear club is expanding, and you know what they say, the more the Marryer.

Well, this is a grim side effect of Bush's invasion of Iraq.

Drooling wingnut warmongering in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...:

Just to save you the brain assplosion: "Clinton's fault."

you can always come stay with me...

Well now we get to see the UN bluster and be useless one more time. I wonder if the chinesewill invade NK now, or just pull all aid so as to cause a humanitarian disaster.

Can I come? I'll bring cake frosting!

Or maybe that should read I'll bring cake frosting and then I'll come... Me, you,

Subrosa, the only ones left to repopulate the planet after nuclear holocaust.

*faints*

from what i gathered, it's all "damn the democrats for distracting us from this with foley!" windbags...

That too. Echo chambers can be very predictable.

Exactly don't you understand how stressful it is running a country, the man needs his boys for stress relief and now you ruined that.

The funniest part is how, almost seven years into Bush's presidency and two decades of Republican majority in the House (and many years in the Senate as well), the people in that thread still find creative ways to blame Clinton.

omg....

No, this is the grim side effect of a backwards Stalinist regime which has been nothing but belligerent for its entire history.

You can blame Bush for a lot of things, but North Korea has been moving along this path since Bush was 2 years old.

But U.S. imperialism isn't helping!

you can also think about it this way, since Bush attack Iraq for no legitimate reason, North Korea or any country, who is on the US shit list, only chance of survival is to have a deterrent against such attack ...
Any country who has an enemy that has nuclear weapons is bound to seek their own nuclear weapons ... tic-for-tac ...

can we blame him for ignoring the very real threat of north korea's nuclear ambitions and instead invading and occupying a hostile nation based on manipulated and misleading intelligence?
