Kim Myong-chol, director of the Center for Korean-American Peace, who is regarded as an unoffical spokesperson for Kim Jong-il has claimed in a radio interview that North Korea has an H-bomb and is ready to test it. When asked for evidence the director replied, "thatÂ’s why we are going to test the bomb."
| They won't really know if it's an H-bomb until they test it. Chances are it's a blob of plutonium and some circuitry. |
He went on to say "If the Bush administration makes more provocations, both New York City and Tokyo will be blazed."
| It's a real, live nukooler Sea of Fire™! Don't settle for anything less! |
The South Korean Ministry of Unification minimised the importance of the remarks, saying they should be ignored. Kim however claims to be in contact with high ranking North Korean officials and that his comments are representitive of Pyongyang.
| "He's a loonie. He's a Nork. We repeat ourselves. Pass the kimchee." |
Kim also said that thee North is targeting the United States but does not want to wage a war against the South as long as Seoul takes a neutral position. "The destiny of the Korean Peninsula will be decided within a week, and South Korea should maintain its neutral stance, Seoul should request that Washington not mobilize U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) even if a war breaks out."
| Yup, we should just stay in our barracks, you betcha. |
