Is anything cooler than super-villains teaming up, like when Doctor Doom and Sub-Mariner settled into an uneasy alliance?
No, obviously not.
So, neither is it surprising that super-hack Con Coughlin alleges North Korea is helping Iran prepare for a nuclear test:
… North Korea had invited a team of Iranian nuclear scientists to study the results of last October’s underground test to assist Teheran’s preparations to conduct its own — possibly by the end of this year.
Boy, that is a Marvel comic just waiting to happen.
Fortunately, this remains the stuff of comic books.
Paul points to two facts that undermine Coughlin’s lurid fantasy:
(1) SECSTATE Rice said the report wasn’t “based on anything that I’ve seen …” and,
(2) A White House commissioned study “of whether North Korea might share some nuclear fuel with Iran” was “inconclusive”.
