Of course, tw is probably going to try and tell me that I heard no such thing...or he'll try to say that what Powell actually meant was such-and-such. Because after all, tw is the only responsible news peruser in the Cellar.

tw had already posted a response before Sycamore posted this. The two nukes are only a
belief of this administration. Read it in transcripts posted by Undertoad or in most Monday newspapers where Colin Powell downplays the two nukes and promotes "talks".
The transcript is posted:

They've had two nuclear weapons, we believe, for some time.

One need not insult others because they love the right wing extremist George Jr. Apparently I have too accurately and repeatedly characterized a George Jr administration - having undermined relations with virtually every nation in the world. An administration that promotes fear and threats of military force rather than use diplomatic channels to solve problems. Same is the problem in Korea. George Jr closed and canceled all diplomatic channels with N Korea rather than discuss what N Korea really wants. As a result from ABC News:

South Koreans say they are no longer frightened by the belligerence and threats from the North. ... Many South Koreans say they are more worried about America's hard-line stance.

America - or is it George Jr they fear? Just another example of George Jr destroying relations with another ally. From the AP newswire of today:

Withdrawing from the pact means the impoverished North is intent on raising pressure on the United States to negotiate over energy sources -- and is prepared to turn its back on its international obligations to do so.

Wanted is negotiation. Instead George Jr promotes fear and military threats. But what else is new? That has been George Jr's response in every confrontation.
These George Jr realities apparently make sycamore bristle. That's what happens when you fall in love with the wrong man. There is nothing attractive about one who constantly promotes fear and military confrontation - except maybe if you are Gen Curtis LeMay. So instead, demonstrate that love by attacking the messenger - me. Then maybe George Jr will look prettier?
George Jr is not happy with just one ongoing war. Now he wants three? Will sycamore again automatically concur?
