North Korea says 'Look at me!'

Story: "North Korea yesterday threatened to “mercilessly wipe out” US forces in case of war during a national meeting to mark leader Kim Jong-Il’s 42 years’ work at the ruling party.

The threat, in a ruling party report carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), came as North Korea was reportedly preparing to test-fire a long-range missile despite strong protests from the United States and its allies.

Choe Thae Bok, a ranking Workers’ Party official, said Washington was “hell-bent on provocations of war of aggression” in the report to mark the 42nd anniversary of Kim’s start at the party, KCNA said.

“If the enemies ignite a war eventually, the Korean army and people will mercilessly wipe out the aggressors and give vent to the deep-rooted grudge of the nation,” Choe was quoted as telling the meeting.""

Lost in the bustle about Iran, Criminal immigration and Al-Zarqawi, is poor little North Korea. So, how do they get more attention? By arming a long range ballistic weapon, that could potientally be armed with a nucular warhead.
Oh Boy!
And as usual, the madcap party leaders threaten to destroy the world, most specifically, the US and South Korea. Japan and China are also not to fond of this turn of events, both threatening harsh retaliation. And you have to immagine Russia's got something to say here.

They'd be fools to launch this missle, but I beleive fools are what leads that country.
