#1 “The counterfeiting issue, and the crackdown on Banco Delta Asia, is a major factor which is contributing to Kim Jong Il’s posturing.”

Lemme get this straight. Kimmie is faking our money. We caught him at it and shut down his banking 'helper'. He gets mad and lights off a few missiles. And this is our fault. I love the 'balance' in this story, with all the nice quotes suggesting the counterfeiting is "no big deal, really. Hardly worth bothering about." The NYT can go F itself.

#2 The reason for the currency change was to inhibit this worldwide counterfeiting wasn't it ? Now they have the "new" formula already ? This sounds like something Chicoms are involved in also. I somehow don't see how Kimmie pulls all these rabbits out of his ass, when his populace is starving.

#3 Amen, PBMcL. China is, of course, far more likely the source - probably producing the plates, paper, and ink. No one here actually believes that the starving NorKies, who subsist on rocks, grass, and bark are capable of producing these supernotes alone, are they?

It's well past time to have a no punches-pulled confrontation with China - and begin reciprocating the slow-burn war they declared on us long long ago. Their triangulation efforts with NorK and in the UN are, alone, worthy of this wholesale change in attitude.

Begin by throwing their "students" out of the country - they occupy far too many scholarships which should be going to Americans - and many would be amazed by the number and value of these. Clean out Silicon Valley of all firms which can be traced to Chinese fronts, etc. There are many ways to communicate or displeasure with these whores of history. Let's employ some of them.

#5 So its what I always suspected - our bills are so ugly that counterfeiters can't help but make better ones!

#6 Why would the largest buyer of American treasury bills (China) want to cause even more inflation?

This could be part of something much much bigger.

#7 When we get our first vile of bird flu, let's drop it on Kimmy and friends. See if we can disappear Norks from the face of the earth. No real loss.

#9 wxjames, while I am sure they would love to do that to us if they had the technology, there's no need to sink to their level yet.

#11 Lets not sink to the terrorist level by targetting civilians (which is what dropping a vial on the Norks is... much worse then firing unaimed missles into Israel...).

I think most North Koreans are, for the most part, innocent or at worst mislead by insistant propoganda throughout their lives. They are more a victim of Kimmie and his crimes then we are.

Having said that I think we need to do something about China's rabid dog or at least send a very strong message of "Don't f*ck with our currency".

#12 Option 1: come out with all new, re-designed $100's, then declare the old ones worthless. LOTS of folks around the globe get very, very upset.

Option 2: Start counterfiting Chinese currency.
