My guess is that it is true, and that is the reason for stepped up tensions...
North Korea is wetting its pants trying to blackmail the United States into funding its evil regime.
Bush ain't playing the game (Unlike some previous fool Presidents)...And its about damn time.
Bush has asked the Question: "Why should we prop up our enemies?" And nobody at the State Department has come up with an answer.
Look for North Korea to launch a first strike as they become more and more desperate for attention and forgien aid.
