#1 Look on the bright side. If all our enemies blow themselves up to spite us, the world will be a more peaceful place.

The neat trick will be to set North Korean human explosives against Hamas human explosives, while the rest of us go out for a beer.

#2 Rumsfeld probably feels that it's also important to yank NKors' chain rather than the other way around for once. I can't wait to see to what level the sheer lunacy, hyperbole and spittle spewing syntax by KCNA will now reach.....
note the slight contradiction between "invincible fighters" and human bombs?

#6 Another bad translation from the Korean. It should read "human bums".

#8 *Shakes head* NKor commies as human bombs. In opposition to the real Stalinist commies, who got bombed on the alcohol used for their tank's drive transmission fluid.

#9 ...armed with "the spirit of becoming human bombs and the spirit of blowing oneself up as their invariable faith..."

Sounds good, as long as they do it in their own ports.
