N.Korea Ramps Up Nuclear Threat Against U.S.
2012-07-25
North Korea on Friday added a fresh nuclear threat to a propaganda campaign apparently aimed at diverting attention from internecine power struggles and consolidating leader Fat Boy's Kim Jong-un's rule.

A spokesman for the North's Foreign Ministry in a statement said the U.S.' hostility to the North has reached an "extremely reckless level" where it "incites an enormously hostile act insulting the dignity" of the ruling Kim family. The spokesman warned circumstances "compel us to review the nuclear issue in a wholesale way."
As opposed to full retail?
The "hostile act" was an alleged foreign plot to blow up statues of regime founder Kim Il-sung in an unidentified city bordering China. The regime last Thursday paraded a defector named Jon Yong-chol before the state media, who "confessed" to being incited to carry out the fiendish plot by the U.S. and South Korean intelligence forces as well as a group of North Korean defectors in the South.

This incident "completely invalidates the basic clauses in the Oct. 12, 2000 North Korea-U.S. joint communique and the Sept. 19, 2005 joint statement, which say that the U.S. has no hostile intent against us," the statement said.

#7  Besoeker, what Wikipedia does not answer that Yahoo Answers does answer is Valerie Jarrett's religion. "Acknowledged Slumlord"

Even though she took advantage of a recent invite to Ebenezer Baptist Church to slam the Republican party, in violation of IRS rules at houses of worship being political, the church of Martin Luther King, her real attitude to King is that the Civil Rights Movement was too "childish and timid". She and her marxist Chicago gang believes in a more confrontational approach.

#4  Iran is deploying warships into the Atlantic. Just in time for the US elections. I am sure Valerie Jarrett (born in Shiraz, Iran), Chief Advisor to the President of the United States of America, Hussein Obama, will have it all under control stateside.

While Hillary Clinton and her number one assistant, Huma Abedin (who has family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood), both busy supporting the Islamic Arab Spring offensive under way across the pond, will take care of things for America off shore.

#3  ....I wish - just once - we could level some big base within sight of Pyongyang, followed by leaflets that say, "Will you please SHUT THE HELL UP?"
