no shit
does anyone know (too lazy for web search, and it's good discussion fodder) what kind of capability they really do have? I've heard that they can hit the USA. I wonder how precise and with how many warheads.
this kind of stuff almost justifies nuking them RFN!

They are thought to possess a coulple of urainium or plutonium bombs. Both too big to fit in a missile, and not much more powerful than the bombs we used on Japan. The only missiles they have tested, while they made it past Japan, that is still a long way from here and they exhibited no great accuracy.
However their capability to produce might be greater than what they currently possess. They have been reported to have been heavily involved in Pakistans nuclear weapon and missile programs during the years they were supposed to not be doing nuclear research. Now that they have broken the agreement and reactivated their facilities in country, they might be able to build quite a number of smaller bombs in fairly short order.
However they don't need a missile of course. A cargo container hidden amongst the millions they never search each day will do just fine. And, delivering it that way if it isn't intercepted by accident, leaves no backtrail. We would be left wondering, was it Korea? Was it AlQaida? Or Iran?
