N. Korean Rail Explosion Foiled Syrian Missile Deal
From the World Tribune:A North Korean missile shipment to Syria was halted when a train collision in that Asian country destroyed the missile cargo and killed about a dozen Syrian technicians.
U.S. officials confirmed a report in a Japanese daily newspaper that a train explosion on April 22 killed about a dozen Syrian technicians near the Ryongchon province in North Korea. The officials said the technicians were accompanying a train car full of missile components and other equipment from a facility near the Chinese border to a North Korea port.
A U.S. official said North Korean train cargo was also believed to have contained tools for the production of ballistic missiles. North Korea has sold Syria the extended-range Scud C and Scud D missiles, according to reports by Middle East Newsline.

Hmm...let's see if we can put all this together... Jordan foiled an al Qaeda attack that would have used weapons coming from Syria. The weapons that Iraq had are more than likely in Syria. And Syria is trying to buy missiles from North Korea. And just what would they arm these missiles with? Iraq's WMD perhaps? I'm just asking...Mark's Remarks
So, using the Palm Tree method, then we are doing the right thing by going after these animals before hate America nations like North Korea can funnel them some nukes.
More and more, it looks like Syria is the next bad apple in this developiing situation. One would think the Jordanians would jump on board, as would other nations, because we now have proof of an effort by Syria to get weapons that would throw out of whack the balance of power in the area, and we have further proof that North Korea is led by a megalomaniacal dictator with aspersions of godhood, who wants to take up the reins of the old Soviet pipeline of weapons to America's enemy. Now do you see why we fight? The more we get people on our side, the more we take out these terrorists, the less surrogates cowards like North Korea have. The more we get open to democracy, the more insignificant dictators like Kim Jong Ill become, because the people will see...We have to make democracy work in Iraq, and we have to plant the seeds around the world....otherwise, the Kim Jong Il's will just keep piping the weapons, and one day we will have a terrible disaster that will make 9/11 or even Hiroshima seem like nothing.
