I'm thinking they want to extract enough material from the fuel rods they're reprocessing so that by the time they test a bomb, they'll actually have a few of them. They're in pretty good shape with us thinking they may have an operational weapon. If they do have an operational weapon, it's difficult for me to imagine that President Kim is going to be willing to give it up under any scenario. I expect that he believes that having a nuke [or at least the US thinks he has a nuke] is the only thing that guarantees that the US stays out of North Korea. Or maybe my distrust of Kim is unwarranted. jttmab
