N.Korea Reiterates Threats of 'Special Action'
2012-04-28
North Korea on Thursday denied that dire threats of "special action" issued Monday would mean merely a repeat of the deadly shelling of Yeonpyeong Island in 2010.

The official propaganda website Uriminzokkiri said if South Korea dismisses the warning as something similar to the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island, "it is a big mistake." In an editorial headed, "Do They Still Not Understand Our Determination to Retaliate?" the website said the North's "revolutionary forces never utter empty words."

"Our revolutionary forces decided to take special action in order to obliterate the group of traitors led by Lee Myung-bak and defend our supreme dignity," it thundered. "We will lay Lee Myung-bak's group to ashes with unprecedented means and our own ways."

#3  The Norks should be more careful about making threats or the rest of the world might standby while a million Norks starve. :-/

Can the Norks miscalculate any more than they already have?

#2  IOW, IFF SOMETHING DOESN'T PROACTIVELY CHANGE PER THE STANDOFF, THERES GOING TO BE A'SHOOTIN + A'SINKINS.

The Philippines seems like a good place for the ChiComs to throw down the glove. Show everyone in the neighborhood you are ruthless and determined, and find out once and for all if the US is going to get involved.
