Kim Jong Il Vanishes From Public Eye

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has disappeared from public eye since right after North Korea fired missiles on July 5, and it shows signs that his concealment will be prolonged for the long term.

Ever since his father, former North Korean leader Kim Il Sung, died on July 8 of 1994 he did not miss a single occasion to visit Geumsusan Memorial Palace on the same day every year, but this year, Chairman Kim even skipped this ceremony.

It is seen that Chairman Kim is taking the current situation seriously. There are reports from inside North Korea that they are prepared to go on another “Hardship March.” ...

[PghBaldy]

Interesting factoids about when he has previously hid from sight (9/11, after leaving NPT).

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

He's visiting Fidel.

[AmericaUnited]

He probably very paranoid about us whacking him.

[Argus]

Forgotten but not gone.

[dr_who_2]

The fat little coward is afraid his loving, admiring subjects are going to bump him off! Life is good.

[dirtboy]

Here's to hoping he and Fidel can join Idi Amin in the very, very, Very hot tub.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

If he's ronery it's his own fault.

[dr_who_2]

...one without a single drop of water.

Kim Jong Il Vanishes From Public Eye

Honeymooning of course!

[Caramelgal]

Castro with a sudden mystery illness and brother Raul AWOL, now Kim Be Ill’in nowhere to be seen?

I know it’s wishful thinking, but could it be possibly be our very special ops doing some Mission Impossible type work?

I know I’m wrong but if Chavez goes missing…..

[NorCalRepub]

my thoughts exactly.....Castro, Little Kim and Chavez.. all engaged in a "circle jerk".....pathetic little dictators all......

[Zakeet]

Didn't the Little Great One just get a new squeeze? Isn't his former number one squeeze a chapped mama?

Seems to me like this kind of cat fight would compel even the most immortal of all Stalinist dictators to seek refuge.

[Cementjungle]

He has the runs.

[exit82]

No dong.

[nhoward14]

Somebody should check Kim Jong-Il's shark tank. He might have accidentally fallen in.

[Mike Darancette]

When Will He Surface?—

When his body bloats and produces enough gas to become buoyant.

[Paperdoll]

Uh, a case of bird flu?

[tenthirteen]

He has probably joined the Scientologists in Clearwater. Check the bus station on Park Street.

[Dog Gone]

He's golfing, and when you're on a streak of 108 hole in ones, you're just not gonna stop.
