| KPA Chief of General Staff on confrontation with U.S. |
| 2003-04-09 |
| If we were to pull out of there tomorrow, what would these people have to whine about? Oh, yeah. The Japanese. The DPRK does not want a war but if the United States provokes it at any cost despite its warning, its army and people under the brilliant commander who enforces the great Songun policy will not miss the chance to mercilessly wipe out the enemy and put a final end to the confrontation with the U.S. Kim Yong Chun, Chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, declared this in his report at the national meeting held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's election as Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission. I think Songun is "army-based policy: XP". On the current situation, he said: The internal and external situation of the Korean revolution at present is very complicated and acute. The United States and other imperialist bellicose forces are now unhesitatingly engrossed in armed attacks on Iraq, a sovereign state, under the pretext of "combating terrorism", thus gravely disturbing global peace and security. They sure are laying some "bellicose" on Iraq... The U.S. has historically pursued the hostile policy towards the DPRK and recently staged reckless military exercises under the pretext of the "nuclear issue" after bolstering the aggressor armed forces present around Korea, driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of a war. If the UN Security Council is abused for the U.S. hostile policy to stifle the DPRK, the U.S. will be held wholly responsible for the failure of all the efforts for dialogue and the extremely tense situation and the DPRK will have no other option but to beef up the military deterrent force to avert a war and defend the sovereignty and security of the country and the nation by mobilizing its potential to the maximum. The people's army has grown to be a-match-for-a hundred invincible army, possessed of the Juche-based war method and equipped with powerful offensive and defensive means, and all the parts of the country have turned into an impregnable fortress. ...now with "Kung Fu Grip"! Our country is now demonstrating its might as the world's military power that no formidable enemy dares provoke. ...and they call us "bellicose". |

| #5 I'm pretty sure North Korea has "the Bomb". I'm less certain whether they have "the Food." (attrib. The Onion) |

| #4 "The internal and external situation of the Korean revolution at present is very complicated and acute." That's a cool phrase! Maybe we should "juche" it up a bit and we can start writing copy like this. Actually the situation is very simple: You break the deal, you get the wheel, quoting Thunderdome. |

| #3 We gotta get us some of that Juche-based war method. Can we steal the juche technology or must we rely on Boeing to invent it? |

| #2 "... If the UN Security Council is abused for the U.S. hostile policy ..." The UN Security Council is abusing itself (yes I do know the meaning of the phrase double-entendre) - I wonder if Kim Yong Chun realizes that dross like this report and Kim Jong Il's actions in restarting the reactor for "Nuclear Issues" are just the kind of provocative instances he is warning the US against? |
