NUKES NUKES NUKES!!!!

According to the agreement, the U.S. would provide North Korea with two nuclear power plants. In return, the Koreans said they would stop work on nuclear weapons and allow UN weapons inspectors into the country. Both nations accused the other of breaking the deal. Bush called the revelation "troubling, sobering news," but in contrast to his policy on Iraq, he said he favoured a diplomatic solution to the situation. In 2003, North Korea offered to freeze its nuclear weapons program if the U.S. removes it from a list of countries friendly to terrorists, lifts sanctions against the country and resumes shipments of oil and aid. Besides North Korea's admission to having a nuclear weapons program, the U.S. believes the country has secret chemical and biological weapons programs.
