Seminars on Songun policy held abroad
2003-04-08
Just when you thought you had the army-based policy and Juche down, their diseased little minds come up with something new.
Seminars on Songun policy (Songun means regarding the military affair as the greatest state affair, and strengthening the main agent of the revolution and promoting national defense and socialist construction as a whole with the people's army as the mainstay) were held by the Russian Youth Association for the Study of the Juche Idea and the Juche Philosophy Study Committee of India on March 29 and 30 on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's election as Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Sounds like "Army-based Policy: XP" or "Juche 2000".
The chairman of the Russian youth association in a speech said that with the election of Kim Jong Il as Chairman of the NDC the Korean people have strengthened the defense capability of the country in every way and achieved great success in socialist construction. Thanks to his Songun policy the DPRK has turned into an ideological and military power that nobody in the world dares provoke, he noted, adding If the U.S. indiscreetly ignites a war on the Korean Peninsula it will sustain a defeat that has never been in the world.
...and if Kimmie ever comes out of that hole in the ground and sees his shadow, there'll be six more weeks of Korean winter.
The chairman of the Indian committee in a speech said that Kim Jong Il put forth the unique Songun revolutionary line and built up the KPA as a matchlessly strong army and firmly defended the gains of socialism.
It's the "Total Total Police State" plan.
Thanks to the Songun policy, unity between the army and the people and unanimity in the way of struggle have been established in the DPRK and the KPA plays a leading role in accomplishing the cause of socialism, he noted, stressing: The Songun policy is the best way of independent policy and a powerful political mode of socialism. A message of greetings to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the seminar in Russia.
... which will be given to him when he come out of his bunker in approximately 2006.

#5  "Songun": Probably shorthand for "Son of a Gun"?

*holds up card* 8.2. Points taken off for failing to correlate Songun policy with Juche. Also, "Songun", as a word, lacks the hop, punch, and drive that "Juche" carries. Some points added for promising start.

Let's see what the "Army Policy" guy comes back with. This should be interesting.

#3  After this war is finished the Iraqi Information Minister is going to be head-hunted (in the employment sense rather than the tribal sense) by the KCNA. Its really hard to find someone with such high journalistic credentials.

"My feeling, as usuall, is that the imperialist american forces will be slaughtered and the Korean peninsula will be a graveyard for the invading forces"

If Kimmie doesn't get his testosterone under control, there may be six weeks of nuclear winter!
