Glad you noted that, I purposely left that out.  Yes, indeedy, N.Korea
HAS the nukes, N.Korea is the ONLY one of the Bush 'Axis of Evil' with
nukes.  N.Korea is the ONLY chief exporter of weapons to terrorist
groups around the world.  Probably their only outside source of money,
they have little else to export.  Let's add this up.  Iraq and No.
Korea are both in the'Axis of Evil', one has nukes and bio-chem, and
the technology to deliver them over a wide area, the other has some
bio-chem, no nuke and no delivery system(most experts still believe
Iraq has not got a useable warhead for bio stuff and SCUDS are barely
400milers with no accuracy at all).  

With this data the whitehouse and the 'dire threat' proponents come to
the conclusion that Iraq is the immediate and clear threat to the
survival of the United States!

and you have the audacity to refer to me as a dolt!  
GET A GODDAM BRAIN!
