NK admitted to having a nuclear threat.

They've admitted to having it in the past also!

Someone will come along and say, "Prove it!"

Nk will pull the same old BS playground routine of, "We don't have to if we don't want to!"

This will be the third time I remember them doing it.

I think they were just rumors and unofficial statements.

No Nolth Kolea is stating it officially and backing out of the talks.

If they had tested 'em to see if they work, then countries will be able to call their bluff.

In late-80s IIRC "Izvestia" newspaper (a most respectable news source, not politically-insane Pravda or low-life proletarian Trud) published some KGB papers confirming that DPRK has from two to four nuclear charges ready, not tested yet due to probable political consequences.

it must be true, because NK would never lie.

No, they were not Rumors. They made official statements and people called their bluffs.

Does this mean Carter has to give back the Peace Prize?

No, I'm pretty sure that they only said they had reprocessed the uranium rods, and could make nuclear weapons. Not that they had any. The idea that they had as many as three nuclear weapons already was spawned by intelligence rumors.

This is the first PUBLIC statement from NK of their possession of Nuclear weapons. Previously they stated to the UN they had possession of such, but made no public statements.

*well* no need to go to war to NK because they was open minded enough to say they had WMD ?
Think that is the way to go ?. Then again what possible couldt be achived there ? Rice ? nah we like potatoes

If you will notice, this announcement just happens to coincide with Rice`s Euro tour which was based mainly on the discussion of Iran`s nuclear capabilities.
Every time there is any reference to nuclear anything North Korea jumps up and shouts "we have it, we have it".
It`s bascialy another sad attempt to weasel money, goods or services from the U.S.
North Korea is a joke. They have nothing left in their tin can so they put two rocks in and rattle it as loudly as possible.

Hopefully Iraq won't be reconciled in Bush's second term or he'll probably go in there blasting away.
