S. Korea Sends Relief Goods to N. Korea
2006-10-05
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea shipped promised flood relief aid to North Korea on Wednesday, a day after Pyongyang threatened to conduct a nuclear test. The goods, including 6,400 tons of cement, were shipped to the North Korean port of Nampo, said the Unification Ministry, which handles North Korean affairs.

"As North Korea has yet to conduct a nuclear test, it is difficult to immediately halt sending flood relief aid, which is being provided on a humanitarian basis," a ministry official said on condition of anonymity, citing official policy. "However, we will decide future plans (of shipments) after monitoring the situation," the official said.
Wanna bet Kimmie bangs his spoon on the highchair tray again tomorrow?
Wednesday's shipment was part of emergency assistance that Seoul promised the North after the communist nation was hit by massive floods in July. South Korea has said the one-time aid is separate from the regular humanitarian aid to the North it has halted since missile launches by the North in July.

(US) NATO phonetic alphabet for "Toes Up" also used by the FCC, FAA and DOD to mean killed or destroyed. (Alternative vulgar translation: "Tits Up").
(US Army & USMC) Not in optimal condition. (e.g. The HUMVEE went Tango Uniform before we even arrived.).
(US Air Force) Dead drunk.
(US) Object Inverted. (Upside Down) (e.g. 'I'm turning the plane Tango Uniform to get a better look.') May be used in a more vulgar fashion as "Tits Up"

#3  If they do an underground test, they better really shore up all the other tunnels as well.

#2  Ya beat me to it, 3dc. The NORKS will use the cement as part of its stemming system to seal the tunnel prior to the testing of the device. 6400 tonnes of cement with every tantrum, what a deal. Mac in SKor was right in his posting the other day. SKor will do anything to prop up the NORK regime to avoid paying the bill for unification when the NORKS go Tango Uniform.
