N Korea threatens truce breach

North Korea has threatened to pull out of the armistice agreement that ended the Korean War, accusing the United States of breaking the terms of the truce.

"The agreement that was signed to provide a peaceful solution to the Korean issue has been systematically ditched by the US and used for the purpose of its hostile policy towards the DPRK [North Korea]," said a Korean People's Army spokesman in a statement carried by the country's official news agency.

"If the US side continues violating and misusing the armistice agreement as it pleases, there will be no need for the DPRK to remain bound to the AA [armistice agreement] uncomfortably."

The two countries have been at loggerheads with each other over the last few months over North Korea's revived nuclear programme.

Earlier on Monday, the United States and South Korea announced they would stage joint military exercises in South Korea next month, in a move which was thought likely to heighten tensions with the North.

Although the Armistice Agreement ended the Korean War in 1953, the North and South have never signed a peace treaty.

Does anyone doubt that NK is doing anything other than *trying* to get invaded by the US?

Why?

Something's up, and I think China's involved.

[RonF]

At what point does NK actually do something, as opposed to haranging the troops about doing something?

[anniegetyourgun]

Yes....and I'm sick to death of this little twit and all his childish arm-waving.

[Newbomb Turk]

Hey Korea how about a big glass of shut the F*** up.

"Something's up, and I think China's involved."

Where is Charlie Chan when we need him?

Of course everyone has read this...from The Onion:

North Korea needs a good lesson in how we end this war by a President that does not run.......

[Dog]

I can see this little nitwit sending his army across the border when we invade Iraq..

[IonInsights]

Bring it on.

[TLBSHOW]

As for China we need to end all trade with that commie country too, by us trading with the enemy makes us look like hypocrites!

What's funny is that our reaction (or lack thereof) is driving them nuts. Last time they did this, Jimmy Carter went over and promised them everything they wanted, and they can't figure out why Bush isn't like Clinton.
