North Korean Army on "High Alert"
2003-01-05
North Korean generals have ordered their forces on to a heightened alert ahead of a crucial international meeting in Washington today that could decide whether the US adopts a policy of conciliation or steps up its nuclear standoff with Pyongyang.
The timing couldnt be worse for us. It really is an Axis, isn't it.

The leading syncophants top brass of the North's army met at the weekend to prepare for a possible worsening of the crisis, which the state media said had entered a "very serious and unpredictable" stage.
They ought to know.

#1  One of the great unknowns is the loyalty of the NK military "top brass". NK doesn't have mulitiple elite units like the Repulican Guard and special Republican Guard as in Iraq. They do have several units that protect the dear leader (also bring him women and cars and stuff). However, these units do not have the biggest artillary, the best tanks, etc. If a NK commander got hot enough and had a few pals in the other units near the Dear Leader palace, things could get interesting fast.
