I knew this would happen.

For a couple of months, I’ve been bitching about North Korea. A few months back, they admitted to having nuclear weapons and alluded to having biological weapons.

Of course, this did not interest the United States government, as they were too busy speculating about the weaponry of Iraq. Obviously, stated fact held no sway over the personal interests of our [the United States] elected government, or the part of our government that we did not elect.

Now today, I read in the news that “A North Korean ship carrying at least 12 hidden Scud missiles and bound for Yemen has been stopped in the Arabian Sea”.

Also included in this news breif was the statement that “North Korea recently acknowledged it has an active nuclear weapons program in violation of various agreements”.

Recently? Bullshit! North Korea released a statement some time ago. It was even printed in Time magazine. But the majority of our country and our country’s leaders ignored it.

Now the U.N. is inspectin Iraq for nuclear weapons (finding any?) North Korea is shipping scuds (not nuclear weapons, but still pretty destructive) to Yemen. Yemen! A country well known for harboring Islamic extremists and terrorists.

Our countrry’s leaders have had there heads up Saddam’s ass for more than a decade now. As long as they have that deep and cavernous hiding place, their corporate interests and personal safety will be assured.
