Well I'm glad that we are so focused on Iran, Uranium has to be enriched to 90% for weapons. Iran have so far managed 6.4% isnt that great. North Korea were not ever really a threat were they? This has really evolved into a nice situation. If N.Korea had oil, if only, never mind, we shuldnt let it be our focus next time. Next time lets focus on the real threats.
lots of fancy words don't mean a thing, and you crybabies aren't helping either... So, a little boom-boom scares you? What about the underground testing done in the west, USA, that killed our cattle and babies too, from poisoning the milk with after-gases. Short memories, eh? This went on for years, and the government denied it, don't remember which presidents were in then, doesn't matter.. get on with the NOW problems, your looking too far into the future, we all may be dead by then anyway...

To fredegrar thanks,the amounts of uranuium cannot be accurately found at wikipedia(not knocking them)the NIE and the pentagon know how much and where.My Uncle served at the Pentagon for over 20 years and originally suggested this idea to me.How much would we have to buy or seize is a question i cannot answer without consulting him.He still has top secret clearance,mine expired about 25 years ago.I cannot give you the answers you want immediately but we can press our elected and to be elected officials to respond.It seems a saner course than the one we have been pursuing and as far as destroying it that is the easiest part of the equation.We can by through multiple filtration of water and a resevoir to catch it after it has been ground down into powder.
drgoodwin, thanks for replying! I understand that China has done nothing but support the communists in N Korea for all this time. I don't need to do research to understand that, but thanks for the suggestion. All I'm trying to suggest is that China is only acting in what it perceives to be its own best interest. If they perceived that their interests are better served by undermining Kim Jong Nutcase, maybe they would do something. We don't have to trust them, we just have to understand what they want and use that information to our advantage. As far as your idea is concerned, I don't actually know what's far-fetched about it - thus the number of questions that immediatelty sprung to mind... like how much Uranium is there on the planet? how much is mined, but still in raw form, how much is refined, and how much is still in the ground? how much would we have to 'seize' as opposed to purchasing? how do you keep people from mining more? How do you destroy Uranium, exactly? Yes, I realize some of those things I could find on wikipedia, all I was looking for was a link to more targetted reference material. I was honestly trying to give your idea some thought - not trying to knock it.
drgoodwin12, I agree with you that news are comming and nothing perfect can be said but, it would be a mere excuse to say that they werent attacked by insurgents or some one else because U.S army is well organised and they cant do such stupid mistakes to accidently put on fire their own ammonition. No army or millitary performs its any other tasks in its ammonition depot except storage and retrieval! I am sad because we may never come to know about the truth. I only pray for no casualities at all.
If you are reffering to the Falcon base,initial reports do not mention Al Queda or a death toll.There are approximately 100 US soldiers there.It has been suggested(emphasis on suggested that insurgents may have started the fire)The fire has created a tremedous explosion one that rocked parts of Bagdad 4 miles away.This is a developing story and until all the facts come out we are in the dark.The top generals assessment of Iraq is already bleak stating that we only have a 2 mth. window to control the deteriating situation.Let us wait and see before we rush to judgement as to the cause.
