Is the Kimster avoiding Jimmeh Cahtuh?

Kim will end up as a museum piece with the terracotta warriors.

Local media speculates that Carter was used as a kind of decoy, by raising expectation that Chia Head would meet Carter in Pyongyang.

If true, this is a humiliation for Carter.

That's what I thought as well. Interesting city - home of the Terra Cotta Army and the beginning of the Silk Road.

Carter revels in humiliation. He clearly thinks it makes him morally superior (which makes him not only a hypocrite in his 'faux humility,' but a pompously destructive hypocrite masquerading as a moral man).

I can't stand that shifty-eyed little prick.

The translation of Korean article from Yonhap News:

http://www.yonhapnews.co.kr/politics/2010/08/26/0511000000AKR20100826132500001.HTML?template=2085

Government Authorities, “Kim Jong-il’s Special Train Crossed the Border (to China) on 0 AM Aug. 26”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Chu Seung-ho = Reporters were told by government authorities on Aug 26 that the special train carrying N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il crossed the Sino-N. Korean border on 0 am Aug. 26. The source said, “Government authorities have detected signs since a few days ago.”

According to the source, they confirmed that Kim's special train passed through Manpo, Jagang Province of N. Korea, and into Jian, Jilin Province of China. This route is different from the usual path of going through Dandong(, China.)”

He added, “It is unprecedented that two visits are made in the same year within such a short time span. We are carefully analyzing it from many angles. “

Midnight local time on the 26th. More than 12 hours ago already.

Wasn’t there an article yesterday about NK moving 2 divisions of troops to surround Pyongyang?

This has all the hallmarks of a miltary coup, doesn’t it?

According to previous reports, NK regime is planning the largest military parade in its history in coming October. So massed troops could be for massive display of military hardwares and goose-stepping troops.

However, once troops are massed, they can be used for different purposes, too. Such as locking down Pyongyang and purge any possible obstacle to Kim Junior's succession in one massive sweep.

The Norks aren't dumb. They may be setting up a "Watership Down" situation for the brave ex president...

Odd place to take a train to, from NK.

It’s all the way down by Taiwan, inland from Fujian province.
