| North Drawing Lessons From Saddam’s Fall |
| 2003-05-04 |
| via command post North Korea is evaluating its leaders to confirm their loyalty to the regime, assuming the Saddam Hussein regime fell because its military leaders betrayed it, a private U.S. global intelligence consulting firm said over the weekend. Its military leaders, seeing a suicide mission coming in defending Saddam opted out in large part The consultant, Stratfor, quoted North Korean informed services in Europe as saying high North Korean officials were closely analyzing the Iraq war to learn lessons from it. The North believes that the Saddam regime collapsed due to the betrayal of Iraq's military leaders rather than superior U.S. military capabilities, Stratfor said, adding that Pyongyang thinks it can make a U.S. attack less likely if such internal betrayals do not occur. Hokay - let the purges begin - aren't psyops fun when the other side's psychotic, schizophrenic, and starving by candlelight? Stratfor said Pyongyang would take appropriate actions to prevent such betrayals from occurring within its ranks. North Korea is starting to strengthen the union between its leaders and the public giving them four grains of millet and two ounces of grass a week the consultant said. Pyongyang implemented a new military service law in March under which government officials under the age of 40 who avoided military service will have to go back and fulfill it. At the DMZ? Or digging tunnels? Way to breed love for dear leader |

| #7 "....betrayal of Iraq's military leaders rather than superior U.S. military capabilities,..." Who wants to be the first dead man to stand up and tell Kimmie that his army centered policy may not be all it is cracked up to be? |

| #6 Becky, I think this is just Plain Kimmy Paranoia: The Lackeys of dictators have always been chosen because of loyalty, not intelligence. When it comes to Kimmy, intelligence is strictly downside. Let them draw lessons from GW II. Because they want to make sure Kimmy will like what he hears, they'll be drawing the WRONG lessons. Advantage us. |

| #5 were closely analyzing the Iraq war to learn lessons from it Hmmm....this bothers me. Sure...it's nice to think of all those Kim J. butt kissers getting their just desserts. But......let's step back for a moment. Is this just Kimmy paranoia...or is his intel correctly predicting and planning for their "future". Am I the only one who thinks...whoa! the implications of this article is that Kim is making plans to prevent his senior officers from defecting in the way that Sadaam's did. The point being that...in order for Kimmy's senior officers to do that...there needs to be a WAR against NKOR like there was against Sammy. Are we planning a war against the NKOR's? Or is this just a ploy? Are we planning to just sit back and watch him self destruct, shooting his most senior officers while his army starves to death... or ..... does Kimmy have a point...he needs to evaluate the mistakes of Sadaam???? |

| #4 The betrayal of Sammy's military leaders occurred BECAUSE of the U.S.'s superior military capablities, with large doses of psyop. The military leaders did not want to go into the JDAM blender. Maybe the NK leaders need a psyop experiment, just for grins. |
