North Korea: U.S. Policy Could Spark War

1 hour, 49 minutes ago

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea (news - web sites) issued a New Year's message on Saturday telling its impoverished people that U.S. actions on the Korea peninsula could lead to war.


A joint editorial carried by North Korea's Rodong Sinmun and two other major state-run newspapers said that "the U.S. moves against the DPRK have become more pronounced and they are increasing the danger of a war on the Korean Peninsula."


North Korea traditionally marks New Year's Day with a joint editorial by the country's three major newspapers representing its communist party, military and youth militia force.

The United States, the two Koreas, China, Japan and Russia have held three rounds of talks since last year to find a way of ending North Korea's nuclear ambitions. But no breakthroughs were reported. A fourth round scheduled for September never took place because the North refused to attend, accusing Washington of plotting to invade it.


Washington wants an immediate end to all the North's nuclear activities. North Korea insists that it needed a nuclear "deterrent" to guard against U.S. invasion, and says it will abandon it only if the United States provides economic compensation and security guarantees.

President uses the bathroom the North Korean government states that it could lead to a war.

3. The only thing that could actually lead to war

is if we managed to create an embargo on all Daffy Duck items. (Kim Il Jong is reported to have the largest collection of Daffy Duck memorablia in the world)

4. Well this particular pResident is what's left in the bathroom ...

... after real American Presidents have left. It's now the White Outhouse.

5. The world is doing a might fine job of

messing up jr's vacation. Next week the American's...

6. Which side are we supposed to be on again?

N Korea is a threat, no argument there.

However, Bush's insane "pre-emptive doctrine" only encourages other countries to have A LEGITIMATE REQUEST FOR DEFENDING THEMSELVES.
