after all was the point of the entire endeavor.
### Blame America first, "engineering a situation." Those dastardly
Americans infiltrated the North Korean government and each night whispered into
their dictators ear, "build a nuclear weapon, mass 10,000 heavy artillery
weapons within firing range of Seoul."
<And what are you going to do when they call your bluff as they almost
certainly will?>
### Well, I don't know why you think we would be bluffing. Massing
that much offensive power that close to an international border is a provocation
to war that is clearly understood in international politics. If your
statement is true about the offensive power they have have massed then a major threat
exists and it has to be disposed of.
>I remind you that even the CIA admits that Kim Jong-Il enjoys a great deal
of grass root support in his country, far more than Saddam ever had in his.
Yes it's odd that a monster like that could be popular but the fact is he is.<
### John you can go to any Golden Glove boxing tournament this coming
winter and you will hear exactly the same sort of language back in the
dressing rooms and waiting areas. I have heard the threat many times and frankly it
is an idle threat. His Generals will be loyal as long as he on top and able
to deal out rewards & punishment.
