99 ton vessel is not a boat it is a friggin SHIP
What in the hell is going on over there????
My speculation is that Kim-Jong Il knows not only that HE, personally, is circling the drain (failed kidneys, etc.), but also that his REGIME is at grave risk of some sort of uprising, most likely from top military brass. So he is doing the usual thing: Provoke a hot conflict with a long-bashed outside nation.
Me thinks it’s about to hit the fan.
