North Korea's Kim says no concessions to US: report

2 hours, 5 minutes ago

North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il said his country would not budge in negotiations with the United States, adding the reclusive state was ready to meet any attack with a strong blow of its own, Yonhap reported on Sunday.

"Kim declared that even a small concession wouldn't be made to the sworn-enemy U.S. imperialistic aggressors," the North's Korean Central Broadcasting Station (KCBS) said in an editorial monitored in Seoul, the South Korean news agency said.

After Pyongyang defied world opinion and test-fired seven missiles last week, Japan formally introduced a U.N. resolution, co-sponsored by the United States, Britain and France, to impose sanctions against its missile program.

"Kim announced a heroic DPRK (North Korean) position, in which it promised to answer to an enemy's retaliation with retaliation and to an all-out war with an all-out war. That is not empty words," the broadcast said.

Kim did not refer to the missile tests and the North Korean broadcaster did not say when he made the comments, Yonhap said.

In previous official media reports, North Korea promised to use force against any country that tries to pressure it into a halt of its missile launches.

Hmm... I remeber that, last year, before 6-party talk, Kim sent a message (via Putin?) that he is dying to dance with Bush, which probably meant one-to-one talk with Bush to resolve everything. I guess he has changed his mind now that Bush shut down most money conduits to N. Korea. His 4.5 billion-dollar slush fund is sitting out there, but he cannot use them. I think that it hurts more than anything else U.S. has done to Kim Jong-il. He cannot stand his separation from his giant piggy bank.

I think he's the biggest con artist of our day. Who can he hurt or attack that would not get him removed. So the last thing he really wants to do is go to war. Shoot a few rockets into the ocean and rattle the cages and hope that people give him something.
Tell him to screw off I doubt that China would support any offensive that Kim would enter in to.

Re #4

He played his script of brinkmanship too often. His motive is now transparent to all except Clintonoids and some Juche nutjobs in S. Korea.
