Thats what happems when Dear Leader gets his Netflix account yanked.

He is sorry about the reaction to his test, but that's TFB.
This is a smoke screen...or he's actually scared that China will replace him.
Translation: Now that our small nuke design is validated, let's see what we can get for it.
The little tyrant is and has been a sock puppet for China. No surprise here. China might be a bit cheesed off because NK refugees are going into China.
This is a situation where Bush has to show some cajones & say "Liar, Liar"!!!
Does anyone remember the scene in the Godfather when Don Corleone tells Micheal that whoever comes to him with the deal is the traitor? There is no freedom of the press in China. They do not suffer anonymous high level leaks. What ever China is saying about dear leader's remorse is intentionally put out there by the government for a specific reason. They are not a neutral party.
Didn't a Chinese envoy go there today and give him the WHAT FOR? Maybe they told him to butt out, or he'd be OUT.
Looks like China slapped some hands -- if this is true.
""If the U.S. makes a concession to some degree, we will also make a concession to some degree, whether it be bilateral talks or six-party talks,""
If the US lets us counterfeit again, we will show up at a meeting.
"If the U.S. makes a concession to some degree, we will also make a concession to some degree, whether it be bilateral talks or six-party talks," Kim was quoted as telling a Chinese envoy, the mass-circulation Chosun Ilbo reported, citing a diplomatic source in China.
Kim told the Chinese delegation that "he is sorry about the nuclear test," the newspaper reported.
The delegation led by State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan met Kim on Thursday and returned to Beijing later that day — ahead of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's arrival in the Chinese capital Friday. China is viewed as a key nation in efforts to persuade the North to disarm, as it is the isolated communist nation's main trading partner.
North Korea has long insisted that the U.S. desist from a campaign to sever its ties to the international financial system. Washington accuses Pyongyang of complicity in counterfeiting and money laundering to sell weapons of mass destruction.
The North has refused since last November to return to the nuclear talks, which also include China, Japan, Russia and South Korea. Pyongyang has sought bolster its negotiating position by a series of provocative actions, test-firing a barrage of missiles in July and performing its first-ever nuclear test Oct. 9.
Oh please. This is like us claiming credit for reining in North Dakota if the governor there threatened to nuke Canada.
I guess the threat of banning this bums booze imports got to him.
Riiiiiiight (or is that liiiiight?) ... that's why they're prepping another. But jeez, the press jumps and says, "look! he said he's sorry! all is well, stop the sanctions."
"Report: N. Korean Leader Regrets Test"
Yeah...just like he regrets being in power.
Sure. Right.
It's all because nobody takes him serirousry.
