SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea's navy on Monday accused South Korea of sending warships into its waters off the divided peninsula's west coast, warning the South would face unspecified "consequences" if the alleged provocations continue.

The South's Defense Ministry rejected the North's accusation.

"We never violated the Northern Limit Line," said a ministry official, referring to the U.N.-drawn sea border. The official spoke on condition of anonymity citing policy.

The North's navy command claimed that the South's "warlike forces infiltrated" warships into its territorial waters many times recently, according to a statement carried by the North's Korean Central News Agency.

Must be N. Korea's fallback plan. If things do not go his way, Kim Jong-il could send his navy to duke it out with S. Korean warships.

Naval clash is Kim Jong-il's favorite for last several years. While N. Korea routinely issues belligerent statements, this one may be not a purely empty threat.

Kim Jong-il loves tension. He appears to believe that lack of tension could crack the foundation of his regime.

Message to the South Korean people:

Kim Jong Il is not your friend and he never will be.He views you as suckers and pawns.He laughs at you behind your backs.The financial aid your government gives him goes entirely...ENTIRELY...to his nukes and to propping up his regime.

Stop giving him money.

NOW!

South Koreans:
Let the recent capture of British sailors in Iraqui waters serve as notice to you.

Do not send any small boats out without backing them with heavy armament and without the will to use it.

Kim has seen this work and is willing to give it a try. Be Ready and if he does try to capture S. Korean sailors,stop him. HARD.
