Let's get this one rolling...

"GWB supplied KJL with a small nuclear weapon to scare the American people right before the mid-terms. Foley and Allen were intentionally outed just before the test took place. They are now pushed to the second page of the newspaper and the GOP can return to their fear mongering to gain re-election."

Discuss.

Even as much as I dislike Bush (and trust me I do) I don't buy it.

China and russia have an alliance to attack the US with nukes, once they have lured America into enough foreign conflicts. Eventually their chance for a nuclear assault followed by a ground invasion will come when there are no troops left at home to protect American soil.

Wow, maybe it's time some of you guys call the National Enquirer so you can sell your stories to them. They are about as good as the stuff printed in those magazines considering they fall under the category of fictional, but entertaining.

Here's a better one, versions of which have been kicking around all day:

What would be technologically easier, and cheaper for the madman on a budget:

A. refining uranium or plutonium to such a purity and with such precision that a sufficient quantity can be produced for a nuclear arsenal, and then produce and explode a device Manhattan Project-style, all to blackmail other countries who believe you're in the nuclear club

OR

B. Under cover of darkness over a period of months, load up the inside of some mountain with 400 tons of ordinary high explosives, chusok fireworks, This Plus cigarettes and soju, to produce a big bang like the one that happened two years ago when that train exploded (practice run?) - all to blackmail other countries who believe you're in the nuclear club

?

Lemon,

I don't know about the cigaretts, soju and fireworks, but that is possible.

We'll have to wait to see if any radioactivity was measured from the blast first. Bluffing wouldn't be below him though.

The other thing that indicates either the stupidity or desperation of this is that this was the north's last card in their hands. They're all out now. What are they going to threaten with from now on? Another test? Another missile over Japan? Yawn.

And if they overtly threaten to harm real lives or property with these gadgets - "give us food and money or Tokyo gets it", or "we're going to sell this stuff to Osama" - the world would likely and rightly clobber them.

I know it's fashionable to knock on the Americans for what they do - and in the case of most of their foreign policy this decade, deserved - but I think they've done absolutely the right thing with the North by not giving them a penny. I don't think this puts the North in a strong position. It's the opposite - it shows he's completely out of options.

Which, of course, is even more dangerous.

How about this one:

China and Russia want the US to remain weak and divided, and one way to achieve that is to help keep in power an unpopular president who rules through fear and division. They supply KJI with enough TNT and a few scraps of purified plutonium to make the world's smallest fake nuke test. As soon as the test takes place they rush to the media to call it 'brazen' and say the test is much bigger than it first appeared, all in the hope that the prez would fly off the handle and say/do something macho, stirring up a wave of hypernationalism, leading to success in the polls next month.

I know its kind of weak. I need IGTG to explain the role of the TLC, the Pope and the Bloomburg Group, not to mention Skull & Crossbones and the Martians.
