My Comment: This Pentagon intelligence report on North Korea's nuclear missile capability is a bombshell for the White House. After proclaiming for the past year that the U.S. will never accept a North Korea with nuclear missiles .... we now have a situation where this apparently has become the case. As a result, the international focus is now on the White House and on what will they do .... naturally .... the White House does not want to do anything .... hence the downplaying of this report.
