I'm not so sure that North Korea would have claimed it.

Have they claimed bombs? Yes, sure. Did people die during those bomb tests and missile tests? No, they did not.

North Korea needs China very much. Without China, they are fucked. If North Korea simply came out and said "hey guys, we claim that submarine attack!" China would be put in a very difficult position and would quite possibly be forced to squeeze North Korea. That would be a very, very bad situation for China.

Claiming the attack would also put North Korea at odds with its own people. Don't forget that North Koreans and South Koreans still have family and friends across the border. I don't think publicly admitting "hey guys, we killed your cousins" would go over the greatest. Of course, they could lie to their own people about it while bragging to the rest of the world... but I'm not so sure that would stay under wraps very long.

Who knows. North Korea is nuts. One of these days they will finally push too hard and their people will suffer even more because of it. I hope the high-ranking officials are enjoying their iPods today, they might not have them much longer.
