| Japanese reactionaries’ moves under fire... |

| They've really been yapping at the Japanese lately... The Japan Defense Agency set up the "headquarters for emergency measure" right after the U.S. start of the Iraqi war in a bid to support the U.S. military forces participating in the attacks on Iraq and intensify alert and watch on the DPRK, Nihon Keizai Shimbun said. The Japanese reactionaries are stepping up their preparations for reinvasion of the DPRK on the occasion of the U.S. war against Iraq, Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says, and goes on: The Japanese militarist forces dispatched aegis to the East Sea of Korea and launched an intelligence satellite, aiming at reinvading Korea. They are building up military strength to realize their ambition for overseas expansion with the backing of the U.S. and taking the DPRK as the first target of their attack. Oh, I don't know. The empire thing really didn't work out too well the last time. Accordingly, their military strategy is focused on aggression on Korea. Their reckless moves, prompted by hostile hysteria against the DPRK, are a realistic danger. Bellicose remarks are made in Japan that a preemptive attack should be made on North Korea. We can not remain a passive onlooker to the reckless moves of the Japanese militarist forces, buoyed up by zeal for reinvasion as regards the U.S. war against Iraq. If Japan continues to run amuck in the preparations for reinvasion with the backing of the U.S., it will pay a very high price. They should just round up all the triplets in Japan and send them over. Kimmie will freak out. |

| #5 What a hopeless basket case. Japan has zero ability to project force, although their little advertised Self-Defence forces have been one of the best funded militaries on the planet for some time now. Threatening a build-up in reaction to N. Korea would be a good way to apply pressure on China and N. Korea itself to make concessions. Unfortunately, N. Koreans seem to have little understanding of cause and effect. You wonder if even the top N. Korean officials have come to believe their own lies - after swimming in them for 50 years. |

| #4 Remilitarizing Japan will scare the crap out of the Chinese (as well as the rest of the region). Look for more Chinese tightening of the leash on Kim Jong Il if he keeps pissing off the Japanese and pushing them to rearm. |

| #2 Interesting... They call 'em "reactionaries", but don't mention what they're reacting to... Typical NK ranting. |
