HUMANITARIAN GENOCIDE:

US often weighed North Korea ‘nuke option’ (CHARLES J. HANLEY, 10/09/2010, AP)

From the 1950s Pentagon to today’s Obama administration, the United States has repeatedly pondered, planned and threatened use of nuclear weapons against North Korea, according to declassified and other U.S. government documents released in this 60th-anniversary year of the Korean War.

Air Force bombers flew nuclear rehearsal runs over North Korea’s capital during the war. The U.S. military services later vied for the lead role in any “atomic delivery” over North Korea. In the late 1960s, nuclear-armed U.S. warplanes stood by in South Korea on 15-minute alert to strike the north.

Millions of North Koreans have died needlessly because we lacked the courage of our convictions and left the regime in place.
