Norks threaten New York
2006-10-12
WASHINGTON – As reports circulated of a second imminent nuclear test, a high-ranking North Korean official who is called the unofficial spokesman for Kim Jong-il issued a not-so-veiled threat to the United States today in an interview with South Korean radio.

"Everything will be settled in a week," said Kim Myong-chol on KBS Radio. "That is, whether we, Korean people, will remain as we are now, or lose, or New York will lose, or Washington, D.C., will lose, it will all be settled once and for all." The report was carried in Chosun Ilbo, a Korean-language newspaper in the south.
They keep banging their spoon on the high chair tray.
The South Korean government is trying to verify intelligence that North Korea is to conduct another nuclear test soon – possibly in the next two or three days. Quoting a reliable source on North Korea, the report said: "Many indications from North Korea point to the high likelihood that North Korea would conduct another nuclear test in two or three days. We received intelligence Oct. 11 that says the North Korean military is showing unusual movements."

Alexander Downer, Australian foreign minister, said yesterday, "We have intelligence that North Korea would have another nuclear test soon. We are very concerned about it."

#11  I think it's all do to the great leaders psychological problems: he's a rotund dwarf with bad hair, his dad named him 'Kim', and he's got Nodong.

#10  Forgot to say that Myong-chol's comments once more shows the WOT > WAR FOR THE WORLD + WHAT IDEO WILL DOMINATE/CONTROL THE FUTURE OWG = WORLD ORDER. Anyone who thinks that NORAM-CANUSA will be safe iff only America retreated unto global isolationism, concession, SOcialism and antisovereign OWG, etc is either delusional or a closet traitor.

#9  New York = the capital of Canada; or perhaps the People's Republic of New England??? In short, what MYONG-CHOL is saying that Asia = North Korea will rise, while America = West declines.

#6  Pyongyang had best be careful what they ask for. I've got Italian friends who grew up in some pretty tough neighborhoods in NY. Mess with their relatives, and they're gonna come pay you a visit, know what I mean?

shakes head at the thought of the NORKs taking on Brooklyn

#4  Mr. Kim Myong-chol is living proof of the long term effects of excessive masturbation prior to the onset of puberty ... pitiful, really.

Come to think of it ... the same could probably be said of Kim Jong-il.

#3  The NorKs don't grasp that the shock value of a nuclear test has already been expended. Nobody cares about further testing, unless maybe they actually get one to go off. Kim has shot his wad and refuses to admit it.

#2  It could be read as the NorKs threaten NY, but it makes more sense that they are talking about the United Nitwits in NY. This is the only kind of "attack" they could do in a week.

#1  We received intelligence Oct. 11 that says the North Korean military is showing unusual movements.

They should try some kind of fiber supplementation.
