1. The first headline I see:

Clinton: North Korea Engaging in 'War of Words' With South Korea

WTF are you doing? TRYING to start a flame war over the Clintons??? :)

[Why Syzygy]

2. I guess no one else

knows or cares. No one's talking about her stirring up new shit. :shrug: okay

Someday, she will come back to haunt her admirers.

[Why Syzygy]

3. I've never seen N. Korea referred to as "stalinized".

It's always been a "dictatorship". We now have a new :scary: word.

She'll get the war going. No worries.

4. I'm trying to figure out if this is supposed to be a two minutes hate or a two minutes fear.

You're not helping my semi-chronic insomnia :mad:

[Why Syzygy]

5. I was hoping someone could EXPLAIN

what the hell is going on. I guess people just want to cast it off as Hillary hate. :shrug:

Why is the USofA SOS stirring up shit in Korea. A valid question.

[pampango]

6. Is she "stirring up shit" by being there or something specific she said?

Since SOS's are known to travel around the world as part of their job, I assume it is something she said. Would you care to elaborate or is "stirring up shit" in the eye of the beholder and needs no explanation?

7. No kidding? Wow

The internets and the TeeVee both report that it is North Korea in a war of words with S Korea.

Clinton slams N Korea 'tyranny'

5 hours ago

US secretary of state Hillary Clinton said North Korea could expect no change in its relationship with Washington if the regime continued to insult, provoke and shut out dialogue with the South.

Criticising the "tyranny" in Stalinist North Korea while praising Seoul's calm response to threatening rhetoric from Pyongyang, Mrs Clinton said Washington stood united with its long-time ally over relations on the tense Korean peninsula.

"North Korea is not going to get a different relationship with the US while insulting and refusing dialogue with the Republic of Korea," she said at a joint news conference with South Korean foreign minister Yu Myung-hwan on the third leg of her maiden voyage overseas as Washington's top diplomat.

Mrs Clinton is also expected to meet President Lee Myung-bak and prime minister Han Seung-soo to discuss the global economic crisis, climate change and bilateral issues before continuing on to Beijing.

Clinton talks tough on North Korea


US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has told North Korea to stop being provocative and return to six party nuclear talks.

Mrs Clinton made the comments after emerging from talks in Seoul with her South Korean counterpart Yu Myung-Hwan.

Mrs Clinton's tone was both tough and candid - she called North Korea's behaviour provocative and unhelpful, and she suggested it stemmed from a power struggle over who will succeed Kim Jong Il.

North Korea has been ramping up its rhetoric this week, threatening to go to war with the South and accusing the United States of planning a nuclear strike.

So what is Mrs Clinton hoping to achieve with her tough talk?

10. Thank you. This is what I'm talking about.

This is her brand of "Diplomacy"? Threats and dares?

I forgot to bring my kiddie spoon to feed folks. And, it looks like Hillary is such a hot button, any hope of honest appraisal is going to be labeled. I'm sure she really appreciates the free reign.

I did get the headline wrong, but my intentions were pure.

edit: And STALINIST .. No one can tell me that she hasn't interjected that loaded word into the dialog. I've NEVER heard Korea called that.
