North Korea is pretty mysterious. So, I wonder what else they are hiding. Maybe Bush Junior should have looked there for weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). I'm kind of joking as Bush would joke about it in like a skit or during an event where they joke about things. It's not a joking matter, but I thought it was kind of funny. Upvoted. Resteemed.
