BEIJING — North Korean leader Kim Jong-il told a visiting Chinese delegation that the communist nation didn't plan to conduct additional nuclear tests, a news report said Friday.
Kim told Chinese envoy Tang Jiaxuan that "we have no plans for additional nuclear tests," Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unnamed diplomatic source in Beijing.
Kim also expressed regret about his country's nuclear test to the delegation and said Pyongyang would return to nuclear talks if Washington backs off from its financial sanctions, a South Korean newspaper reported Friday.

[Kim also expressed regret about his country's nuclear test to the delegation]
Hee, hee, hee.
Condi Rice said this morning that the Chinese diplomat who spoke with Jong-Il said the apology was not given and North Korea did not promise to stop testing despite these press reports.

Tang: Say you won't do another one.
Kim: OK. I won't do another one.
Tang: Now apologize for the one you did.
Bolton: You don't have to go that far.
Tang: Apologize.
Kim: I apologize.
I saw on Fox today that Rice said NO to this... I wonder who is behind this? The South Koreans?
You know how I'd end this...I'd take 1000 of our 20,000 or so nukes...put 250 on the Island of Japan, 250 in South Korea, 250 on the Island of Taiwan, and 250 in Georgia (the country not the state for those of you in Rio-linda). Then I would send a letter to the ChiChoms, Putin, and "Little Kim" with nothing but a smiley face in front of a nuclear explosion - "Have a nice day!"If more Americans had more good sense, some form of this idea would already be in progress.
THAT IS NOT TRUE:
Rice plays down Kim's test 'pledge'From correspondents in Moscow

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has cast doubt on a reported apology by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il for carrying out a nuclear test and a pledge not to carry out more.
"I don't know whether or not Kim Jong-Il said any such thing," Dr Rice has said on a flight from Beijing to Moscow, where she is continuing her talks with nations involved in the stalled six-way talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program.
"But the Chinese, in a fairly thorough briefing about the talks, said nothing about such an apology for having launched a test," she has said.
Dr Rice has looked clearly exasperated over repeated questions about the reports, which overshadowed her tour of Asia aimed at rallying support for strong UN sanctions against Pyongyang, correspondents accompanying her have reported.
She has gone on to accuse North Korea of seeking to "escalate" the crisis.
Kim Jong-Il reportedly told a delegation from his main ally China that no more atom bomb tests were on the way. A South Korean newspaper also said that Kim had apologised for the first test.
North Korea announced it tested an atomic weapon for the first time on October 9, despite years of diplomatic efforts aimed at getting Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program.
The UN Security Council imposed sanctions on the secretive communist regime, including international inspections of North Korean cargo. Rice has discussed implementation of the sanctions in her visits to China, Japan and South Korea. ...

"We too have under-ground cities, but not for us peons. We could easily have our own energy sources if the will was there to over-ride the BS of the environmental/demo nuts. I hope your right about our long term win, but sadly I doubt very many Americans would live to see it, if your scenario really happens."
Well here's to hoping it never happens but a stronger civilian disaster network (FEMA as we know is a joke) and our own energy are certainly deterrents to our enemies attempting to destroy our country.
I do believe they are trying to do another test soon.
Sigh. Is anyone really so gullible as to believe the article this thread is about?
He's a madman and he needs to be assasinated.

Is it Time to Consider Killing Crazy Kim?

By Austen Kassinger
Since when did assassination of foreign leaders get taken off the table?
After years of killing off third-world leaders that threatened American interests, international norms have shifted, Today, the idea of exploding cigars is considered quaint, if not outright passe. But with Pyongyang's announcement late Monday night of a nuclear arms test, perhaps it's time to reconsider.
The notion that someone ought to just put a bullet through Kim Jong Il's head tends to elicit disapproving frowns. Apparently, it's too crass a tactic, a faux pas on the international stage. But if he himself is so rude as to threaten the lives of millions with the touch of a button, the etiquette of the game has changed.
History would tell us that the idea of forgoing self-preservation in order to "play nice" is a relatively modern one: Julius Caesar was one in a long line of men murdered for reasons far less grave than, say, destruction of the planet. While modern sensibilities have, fortunately, bred in us a healthy respect for free and fair elections and the rights of men to determine their destinies, Kim Jong Il disregards these principles at will.
North Korea isn't Iraq, where the evidence of WMDs was imprecise at the time and just plain wrong in retrospect, and it isn't Iran, where foreigners engineered a coup in Iran in 1953 in a blatant attempt to protect oil interests. Does the phrase "a nuke went off while you were sleeping" not ring any alarm bells, even in the padded hallways of the United Nations? ...
