Army-based policy introduced and studied on world-wide scale
2003-03-20
It's sweeping the planet! It's Kimmiemania!
The world progressive people are admiring Kim Jong Il for his extraordinary wisdom, distinguished political ability and immortal exploits and widely introducing and studying his army-based policy. In a matter of two months of the year nearly 200 press media of at least 50 countries introduced in detail the uniqueness, validity and immortal vitality of his army-based policy.
...and an impressive list it is!
The Prensa Latina of Cuba, the Portuguese paper O Publico, the Italian magazine La Voce, the Indonesian state TV broadcasting and many other media carried special write-ups under "peculiar political mode of leader Kim Jong Il," "army-based policy and single hearted unity" and other titles as well as his portraits and photos of his revolutionary activities. Radios of Laos, Guinea, Poland and Peru said that thanks to the army-based policy the DPRK has been able to display its might to the world as a dignified country, political power, military power and a socialist fortress with external authority and prestige which no big power may match and nothing can break down.
I think when Reuters gets a hold of it, they'll put it under "Oddly Enough".
Hundreds of seminars, photo exhibitions and film shows on his army-based leadership exploits were held in different countries in February. The great traits and distinguished army-based leadership exploits of Kim Jong Il were highly praised at a joint seminar of Italian political parties and organizations, a joint seminar of delegates of political parties from Balkan countries and seminars held in Russia, Tanzania, Mexico and many other countries. The Ugandan President said that the army-based policy should be accepted by African countries and that he would strengthen the Ugandan army so as to guarantee the sovereignty and security of the country.
Sick as it is, it probably would be a step up for most African nations.
The Indonesian President said that she would increase state concern and investment in order to strengthen and develop the army into the army of the nation, the fighting army and the army of people.
...but not necessarily in that order. Kimmie Fever! Catch it!

#11  KIJong seems to be channeling Ming the Merciless (bad guy protagonist in Flash Gordon movies, wrong ethnic group too I realize) while Saddam is imitating Harry Carry. At least the guy Saddam is imitating actually existed.

#9  Keep up those "army-based policy" missile tests and nuclear plans, Kimmy, and you'll be tasting a bit of GWB's "cruise-missile-based policy." Notice how well our "missile tests" are doing in Iraq today? Eat your heart out. You're next.

#7  This is an instant classic. I've been Jonesin' for a real good dose of "army-based policy" for some time now. Speaking of army based policy, I think Sammy got himself a super-sized dose of that last night.

#6  Frank---When KCNA really gets wound in a diatribe up past the amusement stage, I get flashbacks as a little kid getting carsick on twisted mountain roads.
