WorldNetDaily: North Korea goes nuclear

The latest and most reliable reports state that the test produced an artificial earthquake of Richter magnitude 4.2. The Fox News Channel quotes unnamed sources as estimating the equivalent TNT tonnage at anywhere from 5 to 15 kilotons. (The latter figure was also the TNT equivalent force of the Hiroshima bomb.)

This cancels all bargains. Joseph L. Farah says it best: stop fooling around and knock out North Korean launch sites. The UN has called an emergency Security Council meeting--fat chance of anything of substance coming from that quarter.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin has this map from one of her readers. You read that right: we are in range. That's why this cancels all bargains.
