Forest fire? Is that the best they can come up with?
Let's trot out the givens.
There's an explosion in North Korea on September 9, the anniversary of its founding, a national holiday typically celebrated with government-sponsored military and nationalist displays.
The explosion happens on the site of the Yongjori Missile Base, one of the suspected sites of North Korea's uranium enrichment program.
The explosion produces a mushroom cloud two miles wide.
But a U.S. official says it's not a nuclear explosion: "The U.S. official said the cloud could be the result of a forest fire."
Maybe if a forest was doused in gasoline or liquid oxygen. Otherwise, c'mon, I know it's an election year, but how stupid do they think we are? Another argument against not using anonymous sources, people.
(But then I just finished battling my router to the death for 48 hours, so maybe I shouldn't talk.)
