And your friend Pat evidently missed the articles from the previous year (like the one above) from the Clinton Adm era...Also interesting that "American Spirit" just took off like that....right after WTC....

And of course, one can find not only this 1999 report to the US House of Reps, but the 2000 report on North Korea is also available......

North Korea Advisory Group
Report to
The Speaker
U.S. House of Representatives
November 1999

In the last five years, North Korea's missile capabilities have improved dramatically. North Korea has produced, deployed and exported missiles to Iran and Pakistan, launched a three-stage missile (Taepo Dong 1), and continues to develop a larger and more powerful missile (Taepo Dong 2). Unlike five years ago, North Korea can now strike the United States with a missile that could deliver high explosive, chemical, biological, or possibly nuclear weapons. Currently, the United States is unable to defend against this threat. |
