North Korea Rejects Anti-Nuke Demands

[Rose Siding]

Keeping up its bellicose rhetoric, North Korea on Monday dismissed U.S. demands that the communist nation scrap its nuclear program as "a game even kids won't play."

North Korea took an angry, hard-line stance following last week's landmark talks in Beijing with the United States, South Korea, Japan, China and Russia about its nuclear programs.

"Despite our goodwill and generosity, the United States has shown no readiness to drop its hostile policy toward the DPRK during the latest talks and blatantly put forward new gang-style demands," the Foreign Ministry said Monday in a statement from its Moscow embassy, according to the Interfax news agency.

"That means ... they promise not to shoot and we are supposed to lay down weapons first," the North Korean statement said. "It's a game even kids won't play."
