Kim: Our Dongs are pointed at America brokennewz.com Colin Powell today accused the North Korean government of having No Dongs. "We've known for some time that Kim was developing a Dong that could reach across the Pacific Ocean. But we're not about to let a bunch of Korean No Dongs determine our foreign policy," he told the UN Security Council on Wednesday. An I.A.E.A official speaking under condition of anonymity said that a recent inspection of storage facilities indicated that several Korean Dongs had recently been pulled out. An examination of recent inventories furthermore revealed that the Dongs had been withdrawn as recently as last Tuesday. While the Dong is classified as a conventional weapon, it can be refitted as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. When fully deployed, Korean Dongs are capable of delivering a twenty megaton load. While Pyongyang insists that their Dongs can be deployed on a moment's notice, a US intelligence source said that the Dongs would be impossible to hide. "We'd have a hundred photos of their Dongs before they could get them up," he insisted. Claims by the Koreans as to how fast their Dongs could be erected are just empty boasts in an attempt to be taken seriously, the official said. Nevertheless, concern is being expressed by the administration over to the prospect of the Dongs falling into the wrong hands. "The North Koreans have not demonstrated the capacity to handle their Dongs responsibly," said Ari Fleischer. "If the leadership thinks its acceptable behavior to wave their Dongs around when they crave attention, how likely is it that they are taking sufficient security measures to ensure that terrorists or rogue elements don't get their hands on them?" Fleischer insisted that it was next to impossible for the Koreans to place a Dong within US airspace, and that even if Kim were crazy enough to try to penetrate a back door in our defenses, the Dong would be rendered incapable of delivering its payload, and retribution would be swift and catastrophic. "Kim knows the consequences," said Fleischer, but the administration is concerned that an extremist anti-American faction in possession of a fully operative Dong might use it even less responsibly than Pyongyang, he said. If a rogue Dong did achieve its target from Korean soil, US defenses would assume an attack by North Korea and launch a counterattack immediately, incinerating Pyongyang. While acknowledging the terrible injustice of such an eventuality, Fleischer insisted it could not be prevented. "Currently there's no paternity test for Korean Dongs," he quipped. When asked about the size of the Korean Dongs, Fleischer said that at this point he could only confirm Powell's statement to the Security Council that the Koreans did indeed have No Dongs. "Beyond that," he said, "concerning the Koreans, there is almost no intelligence."
