North Korea has warned it would launch a pre-emptive attack on United States forces if Washington sends more troops to the Korean peninsula, the BBC said. Talk is cheap. Woe to them if they were to do that. North Korea still has a little time to try to clean up their act before we get to them. This isn't a good start. But I seriously doubt this is anything more than diplomatic posturing; they know a first strike would bring international condemnation and swift, horrible (and I do mean horrible) retaliation from the US and several other countries. North Korea is gonna be yapping a lot in the coming days. They think we're distracted enough for them to do it. They'll find out differently if they don't STFU soon.

Nuke North Korea now, consider it an abortion of a nation which should not be born. That way the left will fell better.

I know Iraq is dangerous, but the utter silence in regards to N. Korea tells me one of two things... They are simply bluffing and Bush is calling them on it or Bush is simply ignoring the threat... I doubt its the second as I trust Bush and his team's judgement.
But boy, N. Korea is a pain in my butt just listening to this tripe coming from the peninsula.

Empty threats, which they just might have the nerve to carry out!

Kim Jong II
Understanding Kim Jong Il
He likes fast cars and fast women, he's been implicated in murder and terrorism, and now he's got nuclear weapons. But dismissing the North Korean dictator as crazy plays into his hands.
By Laura McClure
Jan. 10, 2003 | Kim Jong Il likes Daffy Duck and fast cars, and before he became North Korea's dictator he wanted to be a film producer. He was born on the peak of a sacred mountain, he says, and his birth was attended by thunder and lightning.
In 1978 he had spies kidnap his favorite South Korean actress in order to improve North Korean cinema. His agents were implicated in the 1987 bombing of a Korean Air flight, killing 135 passengers, intended to scare away tourists from the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
While his famine-starved people eat tree bark to ease their hunger, he dines on steak and cognac in the company of the "pleasure squad" -- a variety pack of imported blondes and Asian beauties.
He's also in charge of North Korea's nuclear missile program. And when his minions revealed the nation had restarted its nuclear weapons program late last year, and expelled arms inspectors, the unexpected provocation had U.S. diplomats asking a vexing question: How do you negotiate with a madman?
Dr. Kongdan Oh, coauthor of "North Korea Through the Looking Glass," insists the first step is to stop thinking of him as one.
Salon has a bio on him.

Starve em until they get hungry enough to eat that little pig of a leader. If they get froggy, obliterate that particular piece of real estate. No mercy for these freaks.

NK is falling apart. Inside the country, they have desent.
The Socialist are losing power. Western influence has entered their gates.
Their leader has nowhere else to go.
This is Koreas last breath

Here's another story about this.
"The United States says that after Iraq, we are next", said the deputy director Ri Pyong-gap, "but we have our own countermeasures. Pre-emptive attacks are not the exclusive right of the US."
N Korea threatens US with first strike
To: kattracks
North Korea will regard such actions as an invasion or attack against it, he said, adding that Pyongyang would not just sit and wait and could decide to strike first if necessary. It would be like slitting their own throats. Please, PLEASE preemptively attack us.

Would some one do a close up on Kim Jong's head - I think that we will probably find the number '666' some where.

As Richard Nixon used to say. when you got them by the balls, their hearts and minds soon follow. Or nuke just one country and the French will shut up, along with the rest of the planet.

Thank you. Have read this stuff for years in Japanese and Korean.
The more Americans know about this buzzard, the better.
I am only a bit disappointed it has taken this long for most people to truly be introduced to Kim Jong il, after all his regime has done to people and the fact the nutcase commands one of the largest standing armies on the face of the earth.
Are we ever late and lazy in cracking the books and studying our adversaries overseas. But, at least it is a start.

I think NK and Iraq have an alliance (along with Iran), and did before the President's SOTU address last year, hence the Axis of Evil. They may do something, but I think they are just yelling "Yoo hoo! Over here!" intentionally to try and distract us. But as with anyone of this type (muderous thug type) you have to be prepared for the worst. If they think we can't boot their ass off the globe, they are sadly mistaken.
Can Isreali planes fly that far? Their nuke reactor needs to be shut down, for good.
And why is the almighty UN waiting, no - demanding, we do something about this, but are trying to tie our hands on Iraq.
How can people have so much hate in their hearts and still function.

Where is all the bitching from France, Germany, CNN, Susan Sarandon et. al. about North Korea acting unilaterally and without U.N. approval?(sarcasm)

One clean shot would take care of this whole problem, just one clean shot.

Or nuke just one country and the French will shut up, along with the rest of the planet. If we nuked just one country the rest of the world would fear us. Good idea! Then theyd talk about us and agree that something needed to be put in place to counter us. Theyd strengthen the UN into exactly the kind of world government with a military and taxes that we fight against. Theyd consider us a renegade state, grow sympathetic to our enemies in the war on terrorism, and wed be given the run around as we demanded their assistance in rooting out members that we think are in their country. Wed be as isolated as France, and there are nuclear states that would probably take advantage of such a shift in world opinion to respond to any further aggression by us on their new allies, not to mention how many new nuclear powers would be created after such a display. That's not the world we want to live in.
