SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has taken his former secretary as his new wife, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported on Sunday, citing sources familiar with the country.

His wife Ko Yong-hi, the mother of two of Kim's three sons, died of breast cancer in August 2004, the agency said.

"I heard Kim has been living together with a woman named Kim Ok, who was his secretary, since Ko Yong-hi died two years ago," Yonhap quoted a South Korean government source as saying.

I guess he won't be ronery any more. Maybe this will calm him down a bit.

Too bad we can't "marry" "mentally Il" to a 7.62 compliments of the U.S.M.C. in memory of Sgt. Eddie Ryan.

Too bad my grandfather and his troops weren't a little faster back in October, 1948, and this might have been avoided.

My grandfather, then-Captain James HW Treadwell, was the senior US adviser to the South Korean Army in the Sunchon Province when Kim Il-Sung (the current crackpot's father) and a bunch of his cronies staged the Sunchon-Yosu Revolt. The South Korean 14th Regiment, composed almost entirely of North Koreans and communist South Koreans, was the primary enemy force in this conflict, which resulted in much of the city of Yosu being destroyed and hundreds of civilians killed (mostly murdered by the communists for having anything remotely to do with the government). My grandfather helped rally and organize the other two ROK regiments in the province in putting down the rebellion, but some commie sympathizers in one of these regiments allowed Kim Il-Sung to slip out of the city when it became obvious that the revolt was doomed to failure. He caught a sampan north and began plotting his even more ambitious plan to send forces across the 38th Parallel.

As a side-note, the ROK Army made an interesting decision in how to remove the stain of dishonor brought upon it by the 14th Regiment. To this day, the ROK Army does not use the number four in any of its unit designations. The Air Force and Navy do, but the Army has not forgotten Sunchon-Yosu.
