Documents: U.S. had plan to nuke N. Korea

Seoul, South Korea, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Newly declassified documents revealed the United States planned as recently as 1998 to drop nuclear bombs on North Korea if the country attacked South Korea.

As part of "scenario 5027," 24 F15-E bombers flew simulation missions at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina to drop mock nuclear bombs on a firing range between January and June 1998, the Korea Times reported Sunday.

The revelation followed claims by a South Korean lawmaker that the U.S. drew up plans to launch preemptive strikes on key targets in North Korea in 1994.

The report also came amid concerns that President George Bush will take a tougher stance with North Korea during his second term.

The declassified documents also said the U.S. had kept nuclear weaponry in South Korea until at least 1998, despite officially claiming it had withdrawn all nuclear warheads in 1991.

problem now is, N. Korea can nuke back

Damn. If Clinton planned to do that, imagine what Bush would do. And if that would have happen in Clinton's term, I wonder how much our timeline would have been altered.

 

[swoon]

yea. that seems pretty false

Damn. If Clinton planned to do that, imagine what Bush would do.

I think thats exactly the reaction this article is trying to elicit. Its all a part of political posturing with N Korea.

The US has "plans" to nuke probably every country on the planet, that's what "plans" are for. What do you think you you have generals for? Why stockpile weapons? You don't know what the future holds, so you better be ready for any possible scenario you can think up.

What would you expect? People sitting around thinking, "Oh gee, we have all these nuclear weapons sitting around, does anybody know what they could be used for? Maybe a nice coffee table, that sounds nice."

I'm sure the Russian/USSR has the same sort of "plans".

The US has standing plans for most conceivable scenarios including climate change or Mexico invading Texas.

...or Mexico invading Texas.

Too late.

^^ lol. South Texas is one of my favorite parts of the country due to the intermingling of Caucasion American culture with Hispanic culture.

Too late.

Ha ha ha, living in Houston, I can attest to that. Most of us have now simply accepted the inevitable and are learning to appreciate the virtues of the Hispanic female form...and booty. It's really better that way...
