That might've worked on Kerry.
This was Kerry and the Democrat position during the campaign. Will they rally to North Korea's side and support bilateral talks?
Umm I think the standard, "We don't respond well to threats" line is the way to go.
They already have nukes. There's not much more to talk about.
Reprising the "Reagan sound-check" would be a good response.
I think lil Kim is getting upset that he isn't getting any attention. Maybe if he takes one of those puppies out to an atoll and detonate it, it would garner some attention.
That was about three rounds of antics like this ago. Now we just want to kill all your leaders and plow your capital with salt.
Has Carter volunteered his services to mediate yet?
Dealing with the DPRK is akin to dealing with a dope additcted teeneager. They do things that alienate themselves in a bid for attention from the very people from whom they do not want a loss of attention. There are times when I am convinced that the DPRK leadership is taking massive bong hits.
"Ooooh, Secwetawy Wice, come into my budwah, my wittul nubian sex kitten. Pewhaps you will see that it is usewess to resist my rakish manhood and my dawing bouffant...."
Too bad for Kim Jong Iw. He messing wif wong Secwetawy of State....
"Eat Kimber rounds, toad turd...."

I wonder how much we do know about N. Korea's nuke capabilities. I would be interested to know how the 'international community' would react if we agreed to bilateral talks and either:
A: Announced that due to the threat to Los Angeles, we are withdrawing our troops and nuclear umbrella from Japan and S. Korea.
or
B: Announce that they made completely unreasonable demands, including transfer of additional nuclear and missile technology and tried to blackmail the US by threatening to nuke S. Korea, Japan and parts of the US. We could not meet their blackmail demands, and took their nuclear threat seriously so we have initiated pre-emptive tactical nuclear strikes on all known North Korean nuclear facilities.
What do y'all think? We know the EUrinals would wet their pants and the UN would huff and puff, but what would actually happen?
"I think lil Kim is getting upset that he isn't getting any attention. Maybe if he takes one of those puppies out to an atoll and detonate it, it would garner some attention."
Sure, only if the blast kills some sort of endangered fungus or seaweed; then the UN will issue scathing statements that, horrors, label Kim Jong-Il as "insenesitive." </sarcasm>
Isn't that so cute!
LMAO, great picture of Condi!
Since they refused talks yesterday, I suspect that this will end up as another waste of diplomatic effort. On the other hand, a diplomat with spare time on his hands is an ugly thing. They've gotta do something. Might as well be this.
Which makes more sense: Having two parties talk one on one or getting six parties in a room, each with slightly different agendas?
WOW.....NoKo dictating terms to the United States???? Sounds like another dictator who needs to be pulled out of his hidie-hole.....
It is no wonder that Japan is spending some more cash on military spending and is actively pursuing partnership with the US in ABM tech development. Japan has no interest in becoming the DPRK's test range for their newest toys. In the end, Kim shall continue to be ronery.
