Question What to make of this: N Korean nuclear threat

North Korea threatens US with first strike

Found a link tothis article on another forum. I'm not politically astute enough to know whether to take it seriously. I don't know anything about the source and my quick (too quick) search of the net found nothing else on the statement. Seeing as how there are smart people here who might actually read the news and know what's going on, I'd love to hear some input on this.

Scares the living shit out of me, personally.

LOL, the North Koreans are using Shrub's logic (pre-emptive strikes = defense). This is hilarious!

That is the same way Iraqi civilians feel.

First of all I must say that this is bourgeois propaganda at it's best. Bush lists N. Korea as part of Axix of evil everyone is perplexed as to why and what do you know some time later, N. Korea's weapons are all of the sudden a threat to us all. This is just another carefully manufactured war, and just another enemy of the month club.

To the (I believe everything the U.S. govt says) poster on the board I would like to point out that even South Korea doesn't support the U.S. doing anything to North Korea, none of South Korea's neighbors or any country close to them are even complaining about their weapons. That is why the compliant U.S. media are not doing interviews with South Korean officials, Japanese officials, Taiwanese officials, nor Chinese officials. If they did, the cover would be blown on this whole farce.
