One Beloved Leader to Another...

Is it just me, or did I hear the sound of the DPRK (North Korean) Politburo laughing their collective asses off at the 1600 Crew?

North Korea boasted publicly for the first time Thursday that it has nuclear weapons and said it will stay away from disarmament talks, dramatically raising the stakes in the 2-year-old dispute. The Bush administration called on Pyongyang to give up its atomic aspirations so life can be better for its impoverished people.
...
North Korea's harshly worded pronouncement posed a grave challenge to President Bush (news - web sites), who started his second term with a vow to end North Korea's nuclear program through six-nation disarmament talks.

"We ... have manufactured nukes for self-defense to cope with the Bush administration's ever-more undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the (North)," the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency. The agency's report used the word "nukes" in its English-language dispatch.

In the post-Cold War world where actual diplomacy and trivial stuff like that was working, in rode a posse of idjits who had seen one John Wayne movie too many.

Countries around the world that might have respected American economic power over military, might have once listened and maybe even been persuaded to be reached out to, and join the community of Nations. Now, if they can, they're arming themselves to the teeth; they at least learned the lessons of the Cold War. There's no deterrance, like deterrance based on Mutally Assured Destruction.

Haven't we seen this movie before?

Oh, and a note to the PhD Progeny at State: Honey, if the rulers of North Korea haven't given a shit about their starving masses to date, what makes your slightly disfunctional NeoCon brain believe that the North K's are gonna care tomorrow? These are not rational actors, and they don't actually give a crap about you, China, South Korea or anyone else. I think that you might have just heard Beloved Leader (NK) say "Bring it on!".

The stupid ass could have made inroads there, especially with this Iraqi oil.

Instead he makes them toat the China tit harder. They are a possible market sector competitor with China (slave labor).
China backs their currency and debt.

So when China's wish to cash their checks on our credit and theirs occurs perhaps they just tell each side to fight one another?

Rumor has it that the Bush Jr. Administration is seething and wants to take some pre-emptive action someplace - but not North Korea. Unfortunately, Genada has already been taken by the Reagan Administration.

Shag brings up a good point here. Even a mutt like Bush will realize he's had his pants leg pissed on. He's gonna have to strike out at *someone* somewhere, because that's the way sick twisted little children who blow up frogs with firecrackers react.

I hear the Bahamas are looking good this time of year. And a group of dissident tourists have shown me information showing this country has very rude waiters, and Mai Tais of Mass Destruction.

Ity's a win-win for Bushco... If DPRK caved, it would have been a testament to Bushco's foreign "policy." Now that [the acumen] failed, all the more reason to pump $$$ into SDI, etc.

Star Wars is a joke, it has yet to work. Canada doesn't like the idea of using tactical nukes to hit dummy rockets in our Hemispheric air space either.

Waer your radiation safe undergarments for the season, it's Nevada moved north...
