SEOUL (AFP) - North Korea's defense chief has warned that Pyongyang could also launch a preemptive attack against the United States, with state media saying soldiers were ready to be "human bombs."

"A preemptive attack is not (the) monopoly of the US, and North Korea will never sit idle till it is exposed to a preemptive attack of the US," Defense Minister Kim Il-Chol said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.

"The US is now talking about the six-party talks but in fact, it is zealously inciting hostility toward North Korea while floating all sorts of sheer fictions, utterly indifferent to the talks," he said.

Six-party talks involving the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States are in limbo after Washington accused Pyongyang of counterfeiting US dollars and laundering money.

North Korea denies the charge and demands the United States lift financial sanctions before it returns to the talks.

1. Damn - I better wear my LEAD PJ's tonight

6. Who says...

...Kim Jong Il doesn't have a great sense of humor? If America has the right to preemptive strikes against countries it doesn't like, then why shouldn't N. Korea?

Soon everyone will be doing it.

Like the man said:

"Open up the Pearly Gates
Ain't no time to reason why
Yippee! We're all gonna die."

12. Welcome to DU...

Interesting how that works eh?
A lunatic beholden to the oil and defense
corporations and who claims to have GAWD's home phone number
is declaring who and who should not have nuclear
weapons...
hmmm.
What a world, what a world.

2. OUCH

BUSH MADNESS SPREADING
Make all us people so damn SAFE

[RoyGBiv]

3. Uh oh ...

Li'l Kim is upset. International media hasn't paid him any attention lately.

That man is a train-wreck of mental disorders.

4. Yeppers, he and Dimson are twinkies.

[RoyGBiv]

7. They should share a bed ..

...in a padded, secured room in the mental ward.

The meek may inherit the earth, but I'm not sure the meek will want it after the terminally insane get done with it.

14. That man is a train-wreck of mental disorders.

And like our leader isn't?

[RoyGBiv]

15. That is obnoxious...

Apples taste good.

What? You don't like Oranges?

Kim Chŏng-il is a psychopath. So is Bush. Better?

5. Just perfect. I hope like minds will prevail and negate each other. nt

8. Kim Jong-II's version of "me too; lookie here; me too"

I got nukes, suicide bombers, and I'm willing to go pre-emptive against a threat of pre-emptive aggression!

The whole army is replete with the spirit of devotedly defending the leader and all the servicepersons are reliably defending the country and socialism in the spirit of readily becoming human bombs, the spirit of suicide bombing.


Thanks so much, Bush. Lord I long for the "good old days" of the USSR and MAD. These days, it seems more like a race to the big red button - we're all gonna die, but I'll get you first! :crazy:

[RoyGBiv]

9. MAD

In those days, MAD was supposed to serve as a detterent. No one really and truly wanted to be responsible for destroying life on earth.

Now, a lot of people, Bush probably included, see it as a goal.

[54anickel]

10. An idea like MAD would never work with someone like Bush who

feels absolutely no accountability for their actions. He's never had to account for a single failure, he's either managed to lie his way out or he's been bailed out by others. Mutual destruction? Who cares! So long as I get you first I win!
He's in for a rude awakening at the Pearly Gates, though I doubt he'll make it that far. If there is such a thing as heaven and hell, I'm sure he'll be taking the direct route "Go straight to Hell, do not pass Go, do not collect $100".

13. I'll see your pre-emptive pre-emption and raise you a terratack!

(tosses a gold chip into the pot)

[northofdenali]

16. yep, lookie mommy, lookie!!

toddlers wanting attention. Too bad they're both extremely dangerous psychopaths.

[LynnTheDem]

11. Ah yes... the BUSH DOCTRINE.

Let's hope that doctrine doesn't become popular around the world.

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

18. popular? it will become the rule..because t we set such a good example!

proud to be a free-dumb luvin' emerican !

[anitar1]

17. So long,it's been good to know you. n/t

19. D'ya think THIS will get their attention away from "Fear Factor"?

Reality TV indeed......
