Will They or Won’t They?
The USFK Commander, General B.B. Bell, thinks another North Korean nuke test is “likely,” although the South Koreans remain in denial mode.
Update: As Kalani points out in the comments, the headline arguably misstates what Bell actually said:
There is no reason to believe that at some time in the future, when it serves their purposes, that they won’t test another one,” General B.B. Bell told a news conference.
“So I suspect some day they will,” Bell said, adding he would not share any intelligence information about a possible test.
It’s always a good idea to exercise extreme caution with headlines from Yahoo in particular, which takes advantage of its position as an e-mail portal to plant more than its share of deceptive, agenda-driven headlines.
I believe he said that they would do it when it was to their advantage to do so — thus the answer is “yes” they would…but not just yet.
I agree with that. The headine is really not quite accurate. I will clarify.
