I thought the US never actually carried out giving NK the nuclear reactors, that's one of the reasons why they are so pissed off. They felt like they got screwed over with promises. I like how people love to blame the Clintons, just as shit is hitting the fan and there are no excuses left... yeah let's blame Clinton!!! Brilliant!!!!!!!! Not to mention that this administration has been in power for 6 years and has done basically nothing to one of the 3 worst nations on earth that it labeled as the Axis of Evil. I mean come on, Axis of Evil with nukes and you don't do shit??? WTF.
Resulting to personal attacks when your argument is shut to pieces only goes further to prove my points Now please go ahead cheer the prez for attacking defenseless countries (IRAQ) on false pretenses. Now that IS CRIMINAL. And while you are at it, look up who provided NK with nuclear technology. Hint, also look up what US companies provided IRAN with nuclear technology.
This thread needs to be moved to another forum. There is very little concerning trading in the thread at all.
FYI If anyone has an interest the latest issue of FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Bimonthly Sep/Oct 06 issue) has a very good article on nukes with special emphasis on N. Korea and Iran.
I really dont see what difference it makes in the big picture (athough market wise, it's negative) lotsa countries in the world I'd rather not have nukes, have been for over 40 years korea is just one more, and this is a test of something we already knew they had they know what would happen if they used it but they just want to shake down the superpowers for what they can get
.....but they really really need to have nuclear weapons so they will be proud of their country. Yes those pictures tell a 1000 stories.....what a dump.
Shut to pieces? Whatever, go read my response again, how was it shut to pieces??? Yeah tell me, who did provide NK with Nuke Tech? As far as I know it was Pakistan or China. The US had committed to providing reactors or support for building them but never did anything about it. I don't like the prez so I'm not cheering, seriously, ya just don't get it do you?
Stupid George is still being reported on Google news saying he can't confirm the test. Huh? Beforehand, they said they were going to do it. Afterwards, they said they did it. And there's a seismology site on Drudge that shows an earthquake right where the test was supposed to be. He ought to start drinking again and just stay down there in Texas where he's needed. Noticed I can't borrow any ETFs on IB today -- spy, iwm, dia, etc. Nikkei reopens tonight.
