Good soju will do that. The Honorable General probably was facinf “Lost Weekend” and said: “What the Hell I’ll take take a chance”. Looks like there’s no AA under “Dear Newest Leader”. Shootings will continue until discipline in the heirarchy improves!

Remember, Jimmy Carter sent condolences on Kim Jong il’s passing, and SENT A DIRECT MESSAGE TO Kim Jong Eun congratulating him on his new post as Supreme Leader and “WISHING HIM LUCK”. You cannot make this stuff up. Carter should be ashamed.

Sure hope the next dictator has more decisions of this kind when he takes over later this year, or better yet, month. One key to ruling by fear is a disparity between fear of disobedience and the fear of obedience.

“...shot...for drinking..”.

Over here, he’d hit Betty Ford, the talk shows, write a book, and have his own reality show.

English version of this article just came out on Chosun Ilbo’s site:

Kim Jong-un ‘Purged Top Brass of Dissenters’

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has purged high-ranking military officers to consolidate his grip on power after the death of his father Kim Jong-il, it emerged on Tuesday.

A source familiar with North Korea said Kim Jong-un ordered officials in January to remove anyone caught misbehaving during the mourning period for Kim Jong-il. “We have information that an assistant chief of the General Staff Department was arrested and shot by firing squad on charges of sexual harassment during the mourning period,” the source added.

The General Staff Department takes orders directly from Kim Jong-un in wartime and commands the entire North Korean military. There are six or seven assistant chiefs under Gen. Ri Yong-ho, the chief of General Staff. It remains unclear which assistant chief was purged.

A high-ranking government official here said, “To my knowledge, an assistant chief of the Ministry of the People’s Armed Forces was also put in front of a firing squad early this year for being drunk during the mourning period.”

Kim Sung-min of Free North Korea Radio, a former captain in the North Korean army, recalled that Kim Jong-il also carried out a bloody purge after the death of his father Kim Il-sung in the name of restoring public order. “There is a strong chance that Kim Jong-un is doing exactly what his father did,” he said.

NK is one giant insane asylum where both the inmates, guards, and managerial staff are all completely nuts. There will be something horrifying that eventually comes out on the world stage from this isolated cauldron of lunatics.

I think they should make the ‘mourning period’ permanent.

BTW, what ever happened to OBL’s ‘mourning period’?
