North Korea prepping new nuke test.

“North Korea appears to have made preparations for another nuclear test,” U.S. defense officials tell ABC News. “We think they’ve put everything in place to conduct a test without any notice or warning.”

    Uh-oh! Break time’s over! Back to work!


  2. RUCerious says:

    Perhaps they could perform said test at a certain ranch in Crawford Texas.
    Hey, chymp! Isn’t it time for another vacation? U’ve been hard at work for two or three days in a row! Don’t want to set a precedent for much more than that do you??

    DANGER! FEAR! BEWARE!

    STOP THINKING ABOUT THE NEW DEMOCRATICE CONGRESS. NOW.


    The official cautions that the intelligence is inconclusive on whether North Korea will actually go ahead with another test, but said the preparations are similar to steps taken by Pyongyang before it shocked the world by conducting its first nuclear test on Oct. 9.
    Two other senior defense officials confirm that recent intelligence suggests the North Koreans appears to be ready to test a nuclear weapon again, but the intelligence community is divided about whether another test is likely.

  6. ForTruth says:

    Is NK testing our new Congress as well?


  7. WaltTheMan says:

    #4 – katy,
    The only time Judd will correct a typo is when you try to type facts and hit a ‘u’ instead of an ‘a’ and a ‘k’ instead of a ‘t’.

    Wasn’t Bush supposed to appoint a coordinator to monitor and advise on the nuclear developments in Korea?
    Didn’t we just read this morning that the legally required deadline was 12/17 and Bush has failed?
    He was preoccupied at the time signing a statement granting himself power to read private mail.


  9. SKdeA says:

    Marie, it’s just a drop in the bucket of his impeachable offenses!
    I agree, this story is a desperate bid for attention…whiny three-year old republicans!


  10. Marie says:

    Go away #10 PiR
    Nuthin’ but us freaks here.


  11. DieNowForPeace says:

    So far, they ain’t got no “NUKULARS”.

    Let’s wait to see if they don’t destroy themselves tryin’, FIRST.


  12. Juan C says:

    I think is good for NK to test a nuclear weapon. Its not like the vast majority of its population is starving to death. And dont give that anti-communist line. Please read the Communist manifesto and tell where it is a duty to kill your own people by not feeding them


  13. Xbot says:

    I live in a strange world, where when it’s transparently clear one country isn’t dangerous but is still invaded, but another SETS OFF A NUCLEAR WEAPON, and America’s like “Eh, at least they’re not muslim.”

    What the hell happened to us?


  14. RUCerious says:

    perhaps Halbert (pronounced Hal-baer?)
    would volunteer to be on the cleanup crew at the GWBush memorial bike rack and eternal pisser???


  15. Innocent Bystander says:

    Jesus, can’t they wait their turn? We got Iran on the list next. After that, King George will bring democracy to North Korea.


  16. Innocent Bystander says:

    “I wonder if n korea would be interested in nuking blue states only
    I would volunteer to be on the cleanup crew”

    You know Hal, that pretty much opens the entire US to attack. Once we get the voting machines out of Jeb’s hands, that’ll leave Texas as the only purple state. Why do you hate America so much?
