China Confidential: Countdown to North Korean Nuclear Bomb Test

Having accurately predicted North Korea's provocative July missile tests--timed to needle the United States on Independence Day--we feel entitled to take a chance on forecasting the current crisis. So here we go, out on the proverbial limb, for better or worse....

North Korea is not bluffing. It is determined to stage its first-ever nuclear bomb test, as the regime announced today. In fact, it could be much closer to exploding a bomb than most analysts say. The event, as we predicted last Thursday, will most likely be timed to divert attention from Iranian intransigence regarding its nuclear standoff with the West. Experts may pick apart "Axis of Evil," but the Stalinist-Islamist nuclear nexus is no myth.
