Clinton Warns of Possible North Korean Succession Crisis

By VOA News

20 February 2009

Clinton also said North Korea's potential leadership crisis could be prompting recent provocative statements from Pyongyang. She warned that a power struggle in the North could raise already heightened tensions between the communist country and its neighbors.

The country's longtime leader, Kim Jong Il, is widely believed to have suffered a stroke in August. It is not clear who would succeed him if he becomes incapable to lead.

Nice to see the other Clinton getting a little ink. Bill, the other “first black president” has been an ink hog since the Commie ‘RATS took over the country.

One might suppose that Hillary Rodham now knows quite a bit about "power struggles", n'est ce pas?

So, hillary, are you saying this because you want to solicit our opinions on how to talk to North Korea, or are you just keeping yourself in the news cycle?

If it wasn't Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama I would have a hard time believing that she flew 7,000 miles to make a statement to the world that the administration hasn't got a policy regarding the Norks.

These people are even more incompetent and downright stupid than we thought.

Perhaps it’s the case that Dear Leader feels the hot breath of the Reaper down his neck, and wants to take as many with him as possible when he checks out.

Everything is a “crisis” when talking to a Clinton.
