WTF: NORTH KOREA REVEALS A VAST NEW SECRET UNRAINIUM ENRICHMENT PLANT!?

NYTIMES:
North Korea showed a visiting American nuclear scientist last week a vast new facility it secretly and rapidly built to enrich uranium, confronting the Obama administration with the prospect that the country is preparing to expand its nuclear arsenal or build a far more powerful type of atomic bomb.

Whether the calculated revelation is a negotiating ploy by North Korea or a signal that it plans to accelerate its weapons program even as it goes through a perilous leadership change, it creates a new challenge for President Obama at a moment when his program for gradual, global nuclear disarmament appears imperiled at home and abroad. The administration hurriedly began to brief allies and lawmakers on Friday and Saturday — and braced for an international debate over the repercussions.

The scientist, Siegfried S. Hecker, a Stanford professor who previously directed the Los Alamos National Laboratory, said in an interview that he had been “stunned” by the sophistication of the new plant, where he saw “hundreds and hundreds” of centrifuges that had just been installed, and that were operated from what he called “an ultra-modern control room.” The North Koreans claimed 2,000 centrifuges were already installed and running, he said.

THE NORKS HAVEN'T KEPT A SINGLE AGREEMENT THEY EVER MADE.

WE SHOULDN'T TRUST THEM FOR ANOTHER SPLIT SECOND.

WE SHOULD JUST BOMB THE CRAP OUT OF THEM IMMEDIATELY.
