North Korea rattles the nuclear sabre

The Pillsbury Doughboy has nukes.


North Korea will step up defiant efforts to boost its nuclear arsenal
  • What do you do with the violently insane when they rule a nation that has atomic bombs?
  • The Communist north is a nation that lives off the extortion of other countries.



The insane Communist leadership of North Korea has said it was being forced to "re-examine" its nuclear programme because of fresh signs the US remains hostile towards the country.  They indicated they will step up efforts to boost their nuclear arsenal.

"Various circumstances compel us to completely review the nuclear issue," the North's foreign ministry said in a statement released through the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The North said it had no choice, accusing the US and neighbouring South Korea over a plot to blow up a statue of its founding leader.


A failed rocket launch in April, but new nuke tests are coming




"The consistent hostile policy towards the Democratic People's Republic of Korea pursued by the US is giving rise to the evil cycle of confrontation and tensions on the Korean Peninsula, making the prospect of de-nuclearising the peninsula all the more gloomy," the North's unnamed foreign ministry spokesman said on KCNA.

The plot amounted to a "war action" and ran counter to a deal under which Pyongyang agreed to dismantle its nuclear programme in return for economic and diplomatic benefits and security guarantees, the statement said.

It did not elaborate on what was meant by the review.

But it will add to concerns Pyongyang is planning to conduct a third nuclear test following its failed rocket launch in April - although last month the North said it had no plans "at present" to conduct such a test.      (Aljazeera.com)
