The NoKo nuclear launch - did it happen?
North Korea and Kim Jong-Il are already proving their own menace is possible, whether they tested their own nuclears or not. From the AP Wire (via Michelle Malkin):
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea faced global condemnation and calls for harsh sanctions Monday after it announced that it had set off an atomic explosion underground, a test that thrusts the secretive communist state into the elite club of nuclear-armed nations.So far, it's not confirmed whether they actually tested the nukes or not. But that doesn't mean there isn't any threat out there. Stay on the alert.
The United States, Japan, China and Britain led a united chorus of criticism, with
President Bush saying the reported test poses a threat to global peace and security, and "deserves an immediate response" by the U.N. Security Council, which met to discuss the crisis.
Bush said he had called the leaders of South Korea, China, Russia and Japan, and all had reaffirmed a commitment to a nuclear-free Korean peninsula.
The reported test came one day after the ninth anniversary of reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's accession to power.
