#1 If they don't like being watched by U-2s, etc., maybe we could use B-52s and B-1s to do the 'watching'.

#2 Switch from reconnaisance to reconnaisance by fire, eh?

#4 150? Thatâs a low-ball figure. Gee I wonder why we watch the Norks so much? They have been honest with us in the past and that invasion in 1950 was just a big misunderstanding. They reason they have NOT re-invaded the south is because we expended so much on reconnaissance. We used to call it keeping âThe Morning Calmâ and Intel pukes (like me) received the âOrder of the Morning Calmâ when we rotated. So Kimmie we are watching you, get used to it.

#6 Let's see, we have two LandSat satellites up at the moment, making an orbit about once every two hours. That's twice over Korean territory every 24 hours. Then there's whatever else Uncle has up there that old intel pukes like me can't talk about, that probably hold similar orbits. Then there's the RC-135 missions, and a TR-1 mission or two (I don't think the Air Force has any U-2's left, so that would have to be CIA, if they exist), the SKor Air Force running a mission along the border four or five times a week, the Army border patrol aircraft that make the trip four or five times a DAY, and who knows what else - SPOT, Russian spy satellites, Chinese satellites, maybe even a Japanese, Indian, British, and French military satellite or two, and you get a MUCH bigger number than 150. Kimmie's generals are dropping the ball - someone should tell Kimmie boy how much they MISS! I'm sure he'll be pleased, and reward the right people appropriately.

#7 and who knows what else

Possibly a B-2 stealth variant for recon? If anything, a stealth spyplane is more useful than a bomber. I have no doubt Uncle Sammy pulled a few off the production line and jammed them full of cameras.

#8 Holy Run-on! Does Mojo-Jojo write for KCNA or something?

``Those acts clearly prove that the U.S. imperialist war hawks are watching for an opportunity to crush the DPRK with arms, clinging to their anachronistic hostile policy toward it as usual, though they are loudmouthed about âa solution to an issueâ through negotiations,ââ KCNA said.
