political : WHY DID NORTH KOREA ADMIT TO HAVING NUKES?

[+] serious ballot by Cathexis
created Thu Feb 17, 05
With every other accused country in denial, why did the North Korean Foreign Ministry make a public statement that it now had "nukes?" (BTW, yes, they used the English colloquial term.)

Attempt at sabre-rattling
Reaction to US's attempts to push 6-party talks
Distraction from accusations it sold nuclear material to Libya
Warning to US about self-defense capabilities
It's a bluff
to keep the French women out

COMMENTS:
They say the Kim guy is crazy (just look at his hair cut) but I would guess sabre-rattling. You know he's made these kind of statements before, I think the governments usually ignore him.

Force concessions from the US and increase his prestige.

Pathetic attempt to get attention and force the US into bilateral talks, when the US is distracted by the mess in Iraq.

It's hard to determine causation when you are considering the alien mindset of N.Korea. I believe they think it helps discourage an attack by the U.S. and their friends...

They never admitted to having many nukes. Kim Jong was shooting the bull with Bush. Bush told Kim that he got elected because all the KOOKS in America voted for him.
Kim tried to say that Korea has a lot of kooks too. But with his accent it came out, "We have a lot of NUKES too."

I think it was to expose the lies of our "moral justification" for war.

By admitting they have nukes, that forces us into a dilemma of how we deal with that "fact" (whether it is actually true or just a bluff). Iraq was only "suspected" and we attacked. Think how we'll look when we don't attack N. Korea for admitting they possess exactly what we were seeking in Iraq. Not that we needed Korea to point out any of our lies to reduce our international prestige. We do that mostly on our own. It's OUR world, afterall...

Because they know America would never have the balls to attack a country that actually DID have WMD'S.

They prefer to attack countries with lots of oil and no weapons at all.

Uhhh, DUH. Silly me, I forgot to put up the huge SARCASM sign. Do you get it now, Mr. Anon?

What ever the reason I sincerely hope that this nuclear threat is brought to you by the Cinton administration under the superb negotiating skills of the peanut farmer/nuke sub commander Jimmy Carter.
