Not closely related to the (past) Korean war; nevertheless, hilarious comments by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency, regarding Bush (from CNN.com):

"Bush is a hooligan bereft of any personality as a human being ... and a philistine whom we can never deal with."

"Bush is, indeed, a world dictator whose hands are stained with the blood shed by innocent civilians."

"Over more than four years since Bush's inauguration (North Korea) has shown utmost magnanimity and patience," the North Korean spokesman said Saturday. "It can no longer do so, waiting for any shift in the U.S. policy."

The anti-judicial ranting is scary, but I would still place it (barely) within the boundary of the normal, boring American politics. And we will see what happens to Congressman DeLay -- he's not out of the woods yet. If it emerges that he rides around in an armored train... that his mother must always be referred to as "Revolutionary General Mrs. DeLay"... and that he has a 700-member "pleasure team" of Scandinavian prostitutes, then I might reconsider. But for now KJI takes the prize.

Yeah...I wonder who writes his material. .... DeLay only sticks out be being less bland, the nasty grifter that he is. I say bring back the Newt....: Gingrich in 08'! Now there was a Republican with rhetorical style! Except, he probably doesn't even know where N. Korea is. (Ummm..is it a blue state?).
I'm trying to think of a GOP pol who could not benefit from the 700, but I'm drawing a blank. Man, that would really go over big in the ole' Bible belt. hahaha.

Back ontopic; I wonder if Imp is become "MIA"...I just saw his post re MacArthur ....I would take serious exception with what he implied, were he still among us..not about the History Channel, but re Mac's probity while in command during the Korean "conflict". Oh well..... c'est la guerre. Another one bites the dust. sad.gif
cheers.

North Korea vows "annihilating strike" if attacked

"The army and people of the DPRK are now in full preparedness to answer a pre-emptive attack with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear war with a mighty nuclear deterrent," its communist party newspaper said on Monday.

Hey, give Kim Jong Il credit. He has been making wild statements like this for a long time. If he's copying anyone, he's copying his father, the Great Leader Kim Il Sung.

North Korea says conducted nuclear test
By Jack Kim

North Korea said on Monday it had safely and successfully carried out an underground nuclear test, flying in the face of a warning from the U.N. Security Council.

South Korea's military ordered army units to step up their state of alert after the announcement by the reclusive communist state, which came as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived in Seoul.

The U.S. Geological Survey said it had detected a 4.2 magnitude quake in North Korea at 10:35 local time (0135 GMT) on Monday, confirming a similar report from South Korea.

U.S. speeds N.Korea attack contingency plan: report

Citing defense officials who asked not to be identified, the newspaper said the planning included programs for striking a plutonium-reprocessing facility at Yongbyon with commando raids or precision-guided missiles.

The planning, which has been under way several months, means only that U.S. military forces would be ready if President George W. Bush were to order attacks, the newspaper said.

The administration regards the new level of Chinese support as a "green light" for more aggressive military planning, the report said.

A Pentagon official was quoted as saying that the Defense Department was considering "various military options" for removing North Korea's nuclear program.

The Bush administration recently affirmed its commitment to both South Korea and Japan that it would use nuclear weapons to deter North Korea, another senior defense official told the newspaper.

Not sure of your point in posting this. Would you not think that contingency planning is something done by any competent mlitary? To not do so would be an abrogation of their duty, by definition. This is what military people do for a living.

There are probably contingency plans tucked away for almost ANY imaginable (and some unimaginable) scenario, by every military in the world, including the Romanian one. I wouldn't think this would be new information to most people reading a military forum

It seems to me that every time there's a new flash point in the "news", one or another source will generate one or another version of the (presumably) dire and saber rattling U.S. (or other country's) war plans. I take that as further evidence of the laziness/minimal competence of even first rate "news" organizations like Reuters; it's an easy way to generate a piece.

We here should have a little more sophistication...

The real news this week re NK is that the NK's, in yet another of mysterious moves, agreed to return to the six party talks.....what, pray tell, is going on with THAT??? The Chinese arm twisting succeded? Kim J Il is a closet Republican and wants to give the Bushies an election eve gift? The U.N. "sanctions" are effective before they come into effect? The NK's want to keep the world guessing?

I vote the last.

cheers, from the belly of the beast.

(on the eve of the election that will send Bush back to his ranch)
