North Korea has WMD or Hole in the Ground

Friday, May 06, 2005

(SNN) U.S. spy satellites have detected what may be the preparation for the testing of a nuclear weapon in North Korea. However, defense department analysts believe that the site may be a calculated ruse or even non-weapons related.

North Korea has long been trying to join the exclusive club of Nuclear Weapon states

Presidential spokesman Scott McClellan issued a denial along with a stern warning for North Korea. "What I would say is that if North Korea did take such a step, that would just be another provocative act that would further isolate it from the international community."

North Korea has long been trying to join the exclusive club of Nuclear Weapon states, to hang out with the “cool kids”. Mohamed ElBaradei, director of the IAEA, has said that “the international community in 2005 has zero tolerance for any new nuclear weapon states." So it looks like for now, North Korea’s UN ambassador will be sitting at the loser’s table.

In addition the the hole, North Korea has erected some bleachers

In addition to the hole, North Korea has erected some bleachers a sufficient distance from the hole for viewing of an underground nuclear test. An anonymous source told NewsBlog 5000 that the activity at the site could be consistent with preparations for a nuclear test, but other explanations are also possible.

There are many things that North Korea could be planning other than an underground nuclear test. Perhaps, they are planning the world’s largest geothermal heated outdoor theater. Or it is possible that they have invented a new sport.

But perhaps this is just a personal project for Kim Jung Il. Kim is height obsessed and may want other people to stand in a deep hole while he stands on bleachers. Or possibly, Kim Jung Il just needed a place to store his bleachers and then decided to build on to his secret underground lair, which reports say up until now has lacked a Jacuzzi.
