NK tests nukes on 9/9, mediawhores report on 9/11. WTF???

[funky_bug]

If NK tested a nuke two days ago, why the fuck did it take the media two days, PRECISELY TWO DAYS (insert 9/11 theory here) to report it?

[ewagner]

I read the AP/Yahoo article

The article said that the explosion left a crater big enough to beo observed by satelite...... AND US INTELLIGENCE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT?????????????????

That's the biggest :wtf: I've ever heard of......

[funky_bug]

8. Right... we need an intelligence overhaul... fuck that!

We need a POTUS overhaul.

[ewagner]

10. Any bets that

Intelligence agencies knew......but bushco buried it?

Any takers?

or is that a sucker bet?

1. two reasions

everybody is remembering 9\11 and nobody is paying attention, so beyond you and me and other DUers nobody has noticed

FYY I posted the story already TWICE on AOL only to be ignored in the ocean of AWOL stories... seems to me the AWOL and fake papers story is being used to keep the real story (NK Tests Nuke), out of the papers... woudl be bad for bush

5. It's all over FARK

Elsewhere, it's the black-hole of silence.

2. from fox news..scroll..the cia says its a forest fire not a nuclear blast.

12. A forest fire that creates a mushroom cloud?

Somebody has some seriously bad info here.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Did they also say Tonguska while at it?

Just my bad sense of humor coming out

3. Who said they tested a nuke?

The reports I saw say only there was some huge explosion on Thursday.

4. When did NK report it?

To name just a few. Two days and nothing, TODAY and BOOM (pun intended, though hardly a laughing matter.)

18. BBC has it also, though not confirming nuclear test

6. The TV Media aren't even on it! I've been surfing...

Everything is 9/11, remember, re-live the horror, etc. Sure, it's worthy of remembering, but c'mon, people....there's a WORLD OUT THERE!

NOTHING on Indonesia
NOTHING on Sudan
NOTHING on N Korea

Do we ONLY THINK OF OURSELVES???????????????
:grr: :grr: :argh:

15. I disagree

Sure there are other things going on but this was a monumental day in our nation's history and we owe it to the victims of 9/11 to remember it and it takes precedence over any news of the day. I'm sure we will see the news again tomorrow, but today is a solemn day.

[RevCheesehead]

16. I agree it's a solemn day.

It's just that I don't remember last year being as full of remembrances. The 1-yr. anniversary WAS big. Then last year, more of an acknowledgement. Sorry, I'm just so suspicious of media and politicians.

I did not mean to denegrate the victims...I just meant to point out that there are LOTS of victims all over this world. And our myopic view is a part of our overall problem.

11. Bush, you fucking idiot! nt

14. they are busy....

looking over typewriters from the 1970s....

17. If it was a nuke

the U.S. knows. I can assure you. There is a massive system in place for collecting seismic information regarding nuclear testing, and the characteristics of a nuclear blast would be definitive.

Whether they would or could keep it secret, I don't know. I doubt they could if even if they tried. I'm sure there is sufficient public seismic data (at all kinds of places such as universities) that would also have a recognizable record of a nuclear explosion, from which the exact time and location can be calculated.

19. Update with my morning coffee

Freepers are blaming Clinton for the NK blast. Is that ALL they've got?

[seabeyond]

20. all i hear is loud explosion, and read in paper possibly

nuclear testing. so i am not even hearing as much as you. have the news on. havent heard it though
