| EFL the policy light switch has been flipped. Acting President Goh Kun said Thursday that strengthening the alliance with the United States is South Korea’s top priority. Goh, known as "Mr. Stability," has pledged to boost South Korea’s cooperation with Washington since he took over the government as an interim head of state, following the March 12 parliamentary impeachment of President Roh Moo-hyun. On Thursday, he instructed the Foreign Ministry to engage in "omnidirectional diplomacy" to boost relations with Washington in government, social and cultural exchanges, Goh’s office said in a news release. "The No. 1 priority in our foreign affairs and security policy is to develop the South Korea-U.S. alliance. The government needs to make more efforts," Goh said. WTF? Make up your mind; you’re confusing us undernuanced cowboys. The conservative opposition accused Roh of endangering South Korea’s relations with its traditional ally, amid tension over North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs. Why the accusations? I thought that was his stated campaign platform? The opposition-dominated National Assembly impeached Roh on March 12, accusing him of election law violations and incompetence. Goh has assumed all executive powers while the Constitutional Court is deliberating whether to oust the suspended president, or override the parliamentary impeachment. Sounds like impeachment is thh real deal in SK. |

| #1 According to either Gweilo Diaries or Incestuous Amplification, all Roh had to do was apologise. But he chose not to. So, the opp filed charges. There's a 21 minute tape of a brawl out there, too! But maybe that was Taiwan???? |
