N. Korea threatens nuclear strike on White House
AFP ^ | 28 July 2014 | AFP

Posted on 07/28/2014 9:05:22 AM PDT by Thistooshallpass9

A top-ranking North Korean military official has threatened a nuclear strike on the White House and Pentagon after accusing Washington of raising military tensions on the Korean peninsula.

The threat came from Hwang Pyong-So, director of the military's General Political Bureau, during a speech to a large military rally in Pyongyang Sunday on the anniversary of the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.

Hwang, who holds the rank of vice marshal in the Korean People's Army, said a recent series of South Korea-US military drills, one of which included the deployment of a nuclear-powered US aircraft carrier, had ramped up tensions.

Oh, no, they get rid of corrupt politicians, incompentent bureaucrats and greedy lobbists.

We’d respond by flatting Pyongyang, and that would be the end of the North Krean government.

... Wait a minute...

“The threat came from Hwang Pyong-So, director of the military’s General Political Bureau, during a speech to a large military rally in Pyongyang Sunday on the anniversary of the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.”

The statement illustrates WHY original language definitions and their correct communication are so important and how their misuse misinforms the masses all the time.

An armistice is not an end to a war, it is only a truce, a temporary condition, waiting for a formal peace treaty. With only an armistice in hand, a state of war still exists and the peace of the moment is only a truce, not an end to the war.

The author has been rendered ignorant by our lousy education system.

Not much downside except for loss of monuments

Well, I heard most Americans now see the Washington monument as the big middle finger to America.

I think we should take Iran n Korea and terrorist threats seriously and respond militarily

The only problem with that is those in D.C. would force what's left of middle America to pay for rebuilding their countries. I guess they'd have to raise our taxes and raise the non-government employee retirement age to 74 years old.

I double dare em!
I’m perplexed sorta like Brier Rabbit, threatened to be tossed in the brier patch. Would hate to see the building go, but to return it to its previous grandeur after the WhiteyHut 12 years, might take fire to get rid of the roaches.

The UnJong is both too stupid and too ugly to be a world leader. So he has his goons making statements.

What many seem to forget or not make the connection, all this testing not only sends messages but it also is real testing of short range missiles for sale and use to Iran, Hamas, etc., in order to take out Israel or inflict major damage depending upon the warhead used.

If the Norks really want to nuke Øbama, then try the golf course.

Yeah, it's like they're purposely trying to miss.

Dear Norks,

Please note that Barky Obummer will be in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts from Aug. 9 to Aug. 24 for yet another vacation and even another fundraiser.

What you might be missing is those in D.C. for the past 30+ years decided to turn the U.S. border into a terrorist dream come true...Literally.

Terrorist could enter Mehico and DHS and the Feds would all but escort them in on freights trains and limos...and then provide them with our social services freebies, welfare, teach um how to flight jet airliners while they plan their next attacks....And on and on...

Kinda like the Boston Bombers...911 crews...

Oh wait, they entered legally as the government winked and nodded........lol......Now you can just imagine what’s coming in *illegally*.
