The CIA director for the first time has revealed this frighting news but the fact that North Korea may deliver a nuclear warhead to the west coast of the US is cause for concern.

JQ will they test it is the pending question but they are not foolish to launch a nuclear bomb to the US.
I don't think they want to trade shots with us....

Yes, our USN "silent service" is on site :11: under the waters, waiting...with more thermonuclear firepower than NK can build in a lifetime.

They WOULDNT DARE! They are signing their DEATH Certificates if they do! I was stationed in Korea for a year 2000-2001 and they are a bunch of BLOW HARDS! When they want something they throw a fit like a 2 YEAR OLD and make empty threats!

If they were to fire a missle at the good ol' US of A they would be signing their own death warrant for sure. No even their historicshiel, China, could save their butts then.
I agree with Vance, N. Korea has a long history of saber rattling just like a spoiled kid. IMO a good swift kick in the tail usually helps both see reason

I'd beg to think that IF a missle CAN reach our mainland from there to here, it is outside of NATO and they could be in some serious doodoo if we get in there and we find that is so true. Those missles are only to go so far under the sanctions and laws...but since when has anyone followed rules over there?! Hell..I'd be willing to bet we have a few of our own that could encompass the globe if need be.

A fact that appears to have been left behind here is that North Korea is the world's largest supplier of ballistic missiles (with Chinese assistance; some analysts believe that NK is a "front" for Beijing in this).
They sell to anyone...Yemen (recall those SCUDs that were found under the concrete about a month or so ago?), Iran (who's beginning to actively mine uranium deposits), Iraq, Pakistan, India, etc., etc.
Now, of course, they have their "Won Hung Lo II" or "Long Wang III" (hell, I don't know!
) missiles to play with...and, make NO mistake, Kim Jong-Il wouldn't be making any moves without an imprimatur from the People's Republic of China's Central Committee.

If North Korea does something crazy and sends a nuclear bomb to Los Angeles they can expect to be pulverized by the US so I think that they are not foolish to do it.
