Here'ya go - North Korea Says US Has No Monopoly on Pre-emptive Strike...
'North Korea suggested Tuesday it had the ability to launch a pre-emptive attack on the United States, according to the North's official news agency. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the North had built atomic weapons to counter the U.S. nuclear threat.

"As we declared, our strong revolutionary might put in place all measures to counter possible U.S. pre-emptive strike," the spokesman said, according to the Korean Central News Agency. "Pre-emptive strike is not the monopoly of the United States."'

2. By george w. bu$h's record we are at least as large a threat
as bu$h claims Saddam was and Iran is.
So if you were sitting there with the weapons looking at a powerful tyrant such as bu$h, would you not rattle your sabers?

3. If one country has it - all countries do
Edited on Thu Mar-23-06 06:46 AM by Solly Mack
The incredibly outrageous lie that America is somehow more responsible and more caring with her power, and would only use her power for good, is the kind of myth only those blinded by the flag covering their eyes would believe

7. N Korea expelled UN inspectors in Dec 2002
N Korea expelled UN inspectors in Dec 2002 but * was too busy making up lies about Iraq at the UN and forgot to mention it. When the inspectors left, the door was wide open for a mothballed plutonium program to resume. Nobody blinked nor did sabers start rattling as they are currently towards Iran.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/korea/article/0,2763,867053,00.html

February 2003 - prior to the Iraq invasion - North Korea captured the spotlight yet again when it announced a reactivation of its nuclear facilities and threatened the U.S. with a pre-emptive first strike. Even in the midst of an overwhelmingly obvious threat to American security from an adversary with undeniable WMD capability, diplomatic relations calmly continued without any apparent concern and the focus remained on an Iraq attack, a country that posed no immediate threat.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/2731305.stm

If * was truly concerned about “security”, N. Korea would have been higher on the priority list. Clearly, Iraq was Control Central for the PNAC Grand Plan, and N. Korea would just have to wait its turn. With no oil to plunder, its just not a strategic priority for world domination so the spotlight is now falsely shining on oil-rich Iran to geographically connect American-occupied Afghanistan and Iraq. There is a method to their madness.
