N.Korea's No. 2 Leader Says Nuclear Talks Are Over

North Korea's Kim Yong-nam says the six-party nuclear talks are over for good. The reclusive regime's second-highest official told delegates at the Non-Aligned Meeting in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh that there can be no dialogue or negotiations "where the principles of respect for sovereign rights and equality are denied."

Kim claimed Pyongyang had no choice but to take "decisive measures" to further strengthen its nuclear deterrence.

The six-party nuclear dismantlement talks were suspended late last year and Pyongyang declared this April it was not returning to the talks after the UN Security Council condemned its rocket launch.

Ah, but Foggy Bottom and CFR will argue that such a declaration by NK is actually a 'desperate plea' for dialogue. Some CFR senior fellow must be working on the report to that effect at this moment, I suspect.:-)

Why keep talking from their point of view? They successfully strung things out until they had sufficient time to produce what they think are workable nuclear weapons and a credible delivery system. Missile defence might keep them from successfully hitting Hawaii, but they can certainly nuke South Korea. Now they will try to extort the South, holding the nuclear weapons like a gun against Seoul’s head.

This is the best news I have heard all day.

We NEED those damned "talks" OVER! Take that, Chris Jong Hill.

That was the DPRK plan all along.

And the Clinton/Bush/Obama Continuim FOOLISHLY went along with the whole damned thing all along. We are SO stupid. (Well, I mean that in a collective sense, but particularly including Ivy Leave Nose-In-The-Air Think Tanks, CFR, State Department, and all kinds of assorted idiots, toadies and maroons for the last 15 years or so.)

Oh, believe me, they will find a way to snatch further defeat from the jaws of defeat--and pat them selves on the back and get pay raises and positive job appraisals even.

Ah, but think of the opportunity for American arms merchants! Raytheon ought to send them a thank you note.

Who didn't see this coming?  Oh I forgot, Jimm Carter's International Think Tank par excellance...


The Freepathon is still going strong.  Let's put an end to it.


                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't donated or signed up for monthlies yet...



26% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)


Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.

The Spirit Of Allegiance says, "For those about to donate, I salute you!"  So do I.

Fish Lips refers to Kim Jong-Il?

Is he not dying of pancreatic cancer?

Will the dying Dear Leader strike boldly, going out in flames?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gives lip service to the Twelfth Imam and the chaos needed to draw the latter forth.

Is there a nuclear last act by those two wild and crazy guys?

Chia Head and Fish Lips

Chia Head(2nd from the left) and Fish Lips (right)

Comment: Fish Lips' jackets are the same as Chia's. Another indication of how tight they are.
