Begin my translation:
From a dispatch in Seoul per Japanese JIJI wire services, North Korea's Central News Agency [KCNA] on Wednesday, May 27th said that with South Korea's threatened "total" participation in the PSI Initiative (which allows North Korean ships to be stopped and checked by various nations for nuclear weapons being exported) that it amounts to a "declaration of war against North Korea".
The statement was released by the North Korean military representative in Panmunjom military armistace area. He iterated that from now on, South Korean and American vessels traveling in the Yellow Sea (West Sea, just off the West Coast of North Korea), cannot be guaranteed as safe. In the statement, the names of ROK President Lee and Obama of the USA were singled out, and said they are responsible for a "furthering a war situation on the Korean peninsula". It threatened military action due to the decision by South Korea to participate full-fledged in the PSI initiative.

This is nuts. Dear God, WHY do we have marxist kids running the country?
Dick Cheney needs to slap Obama silly and make him go play in the yard.
Maybe just hot air.....or Kims been told hes got help from Iran and Venezuela?
____________________________________________
I think that’s an affirmative on help w/ Iran and Venezuela. I’m just wondering how big a part Russia is playing in all this.
Boy...*that* would be fun to watch.Something tells me that the Butchers of Beijing would react in a rather more "resolute" fashion than Hussein would.
GO AHEAD,NK,FIRE AN ICBM TOWARD CHINA.
See how *that* works out for ya.
In time, I the guy may be revealed to be ineligible to be President. And we may be surprised who reveals it.
I agree.
What most people don’t think about, is the massive potential body of sleepers in the West today. We have brought the potential enemy into our home. How much will that cost us.
We have cut so many corners, have ignored so many sound policies, and have made so many poor decisions, you just have to wonder...
If this country doesn’t have the stomach to deal with a bunch of crazed nation-less terrorists, and as a result elects a weak anti-war socialist, what makes us think we will have the stomach to deal with a sovereign nation with nuclear bombs that has already kicked our butt once before because we didn’t have the guts to do what needed to be done?
We won’t have Obama to blame when S Korea falls... we will only have ourselves.
Elections do have consequences... and in this case it will be the blood of American Soldiers in S. Korea, and at the very least the sovereignty and freedom of S. Korea.
Russia is playing both sides of the whole matter.
not in my lifetime.
The shorty is really apr-poop crazy enough to go out with a bang!
bttt
Well former VP Cheney has spoken on Obama and his actions regarding National Defense....does that count?
Remember the Pueblo!
What he’s striving for is a ship incident in which Americans are detained —his aim is to hang on Obama a Tehran Embassy-type incident, a-la Jimmy Carter.
The “war criminals” will be paraded on TV a bit, maybe a show trial of some sort. The objective will be to put the USA on the defensive, to make them ASK the DPRK for leniency, to permit for a better atmosphere in which to receive aid, continue WMD ambitions, and to export those WMD’s without blue-water naval intercept.
Kim wants:
1. Money
2. Freedom to do bad stuff
3. Prestige
He dipped his toes into the water when he detained those Korean-American TV journalists —USA did nothing, thereby sending an important signal.
There have been other tests, too.
Dictators across the globe and salivating. They smell a weak puppet pretending to be POTUS.
You’re exactly right. Where’s all the other nations that were supposed to have a change of heart after getting rid of Bush and getting Obama???
If we attempted to gather a ‘coalition’ on this issue, we may get Japan and S.Korea, but that’s about it.
But if N.K. actually dropped a bomb then it would be our fault.
I wonder reason why Chia Pet doing this just know A he know Obama is pushover B he teaching his successor how get over on naive US President
