Team North Korea, World Cop-OutsPolitics
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il has just made up a new reason why he’s building nukes instead of disarming: because of the recent India-U.S. nuclear energy deal.

Last week, [North Korea] warned that it had the right to launch a pre-emptive strike… The spokesman also said it would be a “wise” step for the United States to cooperate on nuclear issues with North Korea in the same way it does with India… The accord was reached even though New Delhi has not signed the international Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. North Korea has withdrawn from the treaty and condemned the United States for giving India “preferential” treatment. [Link]
So he claims he’s going to continue the North Korea nuclear weapons program, begun over 13 years ago, because of a two-week-old treaty. Fabricating facts out of thin air to fit a pre-determined policy — where have I heard this before?
The administration used intelligence not to inform decision-making, but to justify a decision already made. It went to war without requesting — and evidently without being influenced by — any strategic-level intelligence assessments on any aspect of Iraq.

And no, I’m not comparing Dubya with the dictator of an internationally isolated police state. As an American, Dubya would never condone torturing and locking up people without trial.

Lucky man!
Like his father, Kim Jong-il is the center of an extensive personality cult within North Korea, in which Kim is constantly praised and honored as a hero, great statesman, and a "peerlessly great man". As a result, many official facts regarding his early life are inconsistent with outside sources.[Link]
Fidel Castro's son is rumoured to take over from his dad.
"Proletarians of all countries, unite!"
"North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il has just made up a new reason why hes building nukes instead of disarming: because of the recent India-U.S. nuclear energy deal....."
Now all the NPT ayathollahs will come out of the woodwork claiming, "See this is what we warned you about" and lump India with a country run by a buffon with an atrocious bouffont.
