N Korea leader on slow train to China
2006-09-06
FRESH evidence emerged yesterday that reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has boarded his special luxurious train to Beijing in an attempt to smooth troubled relations with his country's only significant ally - while China is determined to stop him testing a nuclear bomb.

With the Stalinist dictator reportedly crossing into China yesterday, pressure is again building from the other members of the six-party talks - formed to prevent North Korea going nuclear - to push Pyongyang to join talks after a year of refusing to co-operate, and two months after a tough UN resolution criticising North Korea.
You know, I don't think all that many people in NKor-land would be upset if the Chinese refused to let Kimmie go home. Maybe he could slip and fall in front of the train? I'm just saying ....
US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific affairs Christopher Hill flew to Beijing yesterday from Tokyo, and will go on to Seoul, to throw American weight behind new efforts, led by China, to bring North Korea back to the table. Stories circulating in South Korea about Mr Kim preparing to visit Beijing gained fresh credence yesterday with reports that the leader's special armoured train was at Sinuiju station, across the Yalu River from the Chinese town of Dandong.

#6  I have a much better idea.
When he arrives at Bejing in his "special luxurious train"
Bejing should do exactly as Kimmie has done, and keep it.

#5  It's perfect!

Ummm ... no. Derails don't create the sort of massive fireball required to ensure the irreversible revocation of Kim's oxygen consumption license.

#4  Yes indeedy Bobby, you are correct. This one is 800 yards from the Minnesota River where the train bridge by default is open...

#3  Why, 6 - that's a derail.

A device used to push an errant, wayward, unconrolled vehicle off the track and onto the ground before it can do damage to the innocent and unsuspecting.

It's perfect!

#1  Blow his d@mn train right off of the rails. Untold tens of thousands of lives would be saved from starvation and cannibalism. This maggot had lead his charmed life for waaaaaaay too long. Much like Ahmadinejad and the mullahs, there is absolutely nothing worse that could be sucked into the power vacuum Kim's death would leave behind.
