Maybe the Chinese government got sick of him themselves and eliminated him.

It just shows how close, aligned and coordinated the Chinese and N. Korean communist regimes still are.

I found this on the excellent Dr. Sanity blog.

And she found it from another blog which she cites.

Apparently, the train is on a one way track and can't find a place to turn around..

Maybe he just stopped to play some golf. I hear he shoots in the low 30's

Looks like we're waging financial war against Kim. Wouldn't it be interesting if Kim and Assad in Syria got run off simultaneously?

Wonder how the NYT would spin that? Probably say those regions were now dangerously destabilized and it's Bush's fault.

Here is a problem:

Some wondered whether Kim had only travelled through China on his way to Russia - a scenario 'almost ruled out' by one South Korean diplomat, given the fact that a direct rail connection exists between the North Korean capital Pyongyang and Moscow.

Wrong rail gage.

I think Kim's own people ate him.

FOX was reporting tonight that Putin is meeting with Kim - that's all the detail they gave. So .. maybe this "disappearance" is a ruse in order for the Russian/North Korean meeting to be more secret.

But .. if they wanted it secret - it's not anymore.

Wrong rail gage.

Easy enough to change the undercarriage. I remember it being done at the border between Spain and France when I was a teenager.

Veddy Interestink.

I don't think I'd be surprised with any of the various speculations coming true...

And to add to them: Wouldn't be surprised if he were secretly meeting with Ahmadinejad and/or Zarquwai (or Osama, but I beleive him to be long dead).

Anyway, I'm over this...

And hoping that Li'l Kim will never be seen or heard from again.

There is a huge railyard at the border that does just this - the Russians/chinese were paranoid the the rail would be used to invade, so they deliberately used different rail gages.

Spain and france? hmmmm.

On a lighter note, the US standard is just wide enough for two horses' a$$e$...old joke, but true. LOL.
