Pentagon Says Nuclear Missile Is in Grasp for North Korea

[mota bhai 2,675]

WASHINGTON — A new assessment of North Korea’s nuclear capability conducted by the Pentagon’s intelligence arm has concluded for the first time, with “moderate confidence,” that the country has learned how to make a nuclear weapon small enough to be delivered by a ballistic missile.

The assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which has been distributed to senior administration officials and members of Congress, cautions that the weapon’s “reliability will be low.”

...

It is unclear whether other American intelligence agencies agree with the assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which has primary responsibility for monitoring the missile capabilities of adversary nations. In the case of Iraq, a decade ago, the agency was among those that argued most vociferously that Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons.

How very ironic, considering that the New York Times itself was one of the main players involved in disseminating lies and other inaccuracies to the US public in order to whip up support for the Iraq war.

A Pentagon spokesman "accidentally" disclosed the wrong report at the daily press brief. Gee, how did that happen?

Does ####### Cheney still pull any strings there? Sounds like warmongering! How much does Halliburton stand to make off this war and the thousands of dead Americans and possibly millions of Koreans?
