korea times ^

Posted on 08/24/2015 11:33:55 AM PDT by BenLurkin

North Korea has expressed regret over two South Korean border guards injured by a landmine blast and promised to make efforts to prevent a similar incident from happening again, according to South Korea's National Security Office Chief Kim Kwan-jin. The North also decided to withdraw its declaration of "quasi-state of war" against Seoul, he said.

In return, South Korea will turn off its frontline loudspeakers blaring anti-North messages from Tuesday noon on the condition that the North will not make any "abnormal" behavior.

The two Koreas also agreed to host the reunions of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War in late September.

...and, in an unrelated story, South Korea’s government has unexpectedly announced a bond offering of $10 billion later this week.

They aren’t apologizing, they are simply stating they regret that something happened. In this case, they regret that the ROK troops were maimed by a landmine. Who’s landmine? The Norks will never admit its theirs.

I think the Norks are scared, and that the South should tell them to take their regrets, turn them sideways, and shove them up the their Dear Little Dork’s butt.

Technically, not an apology, just a statement of “regret” that it happened. So, your worrier can climb in off the ledge now...

When you get an APOLOGY from North Korea, it means you gave them something HUGE.

Maybe the thing was given secretly, but the thing was huge.

The way the talks seemed to be going it sounded like the ROKs said the equivalent of “OK, fine. You want war so badly? Bring it. Put up or shut up”, while China was making “we’re fed up with you, too” moves on the other side.

China didn’t get involved in the Korean War until we rolled up to their borders. They didn’t like that one bit. I don’t think they want the Kim Cabal getting adventurous.

I think I saw it on Showtime a month or so ago. I was channel surfing and when I landed on it, I could not stop watching. Rodman is a raving drunk and psycho.
