| North Korea opens key party meeting | |
| 2010-09-29 | |
[Iran Press TV] As North Korean leader Kim Dear LeaderJong-Il prepares to hand power to his youngest son, Pyongyang opens the country's biggest meeting of the ruling Workers Party in 30 years. The meeting comes as speculation is mounting that the North Korean leader's successor will be Kim SonnyJong-un. Kim earlier promoted his son to the rank of four-star general along with five other people including his sister. Despite his visibly fragile health, the party has also renamed Kim Jong-Il as its general secretary.
The North's nuclear program and tension on the troubled Korean peninsula have resulted in the potential succession of Jong-un being closely watched. Many consider the 27-year-old Jong-un, whose name has appeared in the media for the first time, as still too young and inexperienced to replace his father. | |

| #4 Back to uninteligible gibberish. Perfectly clear to me. Japan is coming to realize trying to appease China is a non-starter and is mulling taking a hard line. And yes, the fact Joe makes sense to me does worry me on many levels. |
