John Bolton thinks that North Korea may now supply its nuclear know-how to terrorists, a suggestion which is straight out of the film Team America : World Police.
But how did this tiny, isolated, backward and poverty-struck nation become a member of the most powerful club on Earth; the Nooklear Klub?
Abdul Qadeer Khan gave North Korea the centrifuges and their design necessary for the enrichment of uranium to the purity required for a bomb. Kahn was under surveillance by more than one intelligence agency as early as 1975, when the Dutch wanted to prosecute and imprison Kahn for stealing secrets from Urenco but at the request of none other than the CIA did not do so. Similarly in 1986.
Although the centrifuges enrich the uranium a bomb still needs a trigger, a delivery system, and the design of the bomb itself.
George H W Bush became Director of the CIA in November 1975, and was Vice-President in 1986, and as I understand as ex-DCI receives briefings and access to intelligence.
Kahn was not arrested because the CIA wanted to know what Kahn was upto.
Donald Rumsfeld was on the board of ABB who in 2000 sold North Korea the design and key components for two light-water reactors in return for North Korea ending its nuclear weapons program. It is possible but difficult to extract weapons grade material from a light-water reactor.
So has North Korea been allowed to continue its nuclear ambitions so that one day it becomes a threat which can only result in war? Or has it been allowed to manufacture a bomb (not known to be deliverable as yet) which could be sold to terrorists or plant the idea in our heads that it could as Bolton has done for a false-flag op?
One things for sure, I don't trust Bush or Rumsfeld or Cheney or any of that ilk.
Slippery, squirmy creatures of the night.
