Report: North leader ordered ‘do-or-die’ squads

Fleet officer says Kim intensified navy training after Nov. 10 defeat

May 06, 2010

Following North Korea’s crushing defeat by the South in last year’s skirmish in the Yellow Sea, the communist regime’s leader, Kim Jong-il, directed its navy to intensify training “to raise heroes for do-or-die squads at sea,” North Korea’s media reported Tuesday night.

The inter-Korean skirmish took place on Nov. 10, 2009, near the maritime border in the waters west of the peninsula.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff have said a North Korean patrol boat violated the maritime border despite the South’s warning shot.

The North fired back and the two sides engaged in a skirmish. The North Korean boat was destroyed and towed into its own waters.

In an appearance with North Korea’s Central TV on Tuesday night, Kim Gwang-il, an officer of the North’s West Sea Navy Fleet Command, spoke about his leader’s visit and his directive to the command after the defeat.

While they are denying any involvement, they appear to be dropping every hint that they actually did it.

From NK broadcast:

Kim Jong-il should be kidnapped by a crack international team this week in Beijing (if you could ever get him out of that place) and give him the Slobodan Milošević treatment, only his trial should come to a complete closure and the man never let out to see the sun again for the rest of his decrepit life.

Or bury him alive.

Who controls North Korea, whenever “The Great Leader” is outside of North Korea?

[TigerLikesRooster]

I suspect no single person is running the whole thing while he is away. That would be a disaster for Chia Head. Defense Commission as an organization would probably have a final say.

They are made to distrust and spy on one another.

How you say “kamikaze” in Korean?

[AdmSmith]

Is the picture with the dear leader photoshopped?

[GOPJ]

Many doubt that the immediate cause of his death was a heart attack. It is a subject of heated discussions and a political issue whether the latter was provoked deliberately and who, if anyone, is responsible...

American - what's your take on Slobodan Milošević death?
