WASHINGTON, July 22 (Yonhap) -- The United States has come up with scenarios to cope with any contingencies in North Korea after leader Kim Jong-il's death, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command said Wednesday.
"We are prepared to execute a wide range of options in concert with allies in South Korea and in discussions through (the Department of) State, which would have the lead, with countries in the region, and internationally if necessary," Adm. Timothy Keating said at a news conference at the Pentagon. "I don't think it is axiomatic that the departure of Kim Jong-il means a national security crisis. We'd hope it wouldn't. But we are going to be prepared if it does mean that."

Nothing will change when he dies or when Fidel dies or anywhere else in the world.

Not in a million years could you make this stuff up.
The United States has come up with scenarios to cope with any contingencies in North Korea after leader Kim Jong-il's deathStep one: condemn Israeli construction projects. Step two: call for unilateral U.S. disarmament. Step three: prevent construction in the U.S. of nuclear power plants, coal-burning power plants, hydroelectric projects, and petroleum exploration, as well as prohibit development of gas hydrates and all other offshore fuel sources.
Let me guess, it involves Hilary, apologies, champagne toasts, and a lot of extorted US tax dollars.
