U.S.-S. Korea joint military exercises flailed worldwide
2003-04-04
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA): At least 200 media, political parties and organizations and many figures of different social standings in the world strongly condemned the U.S-South Korea joint military exercises staged in South Korea, holding that they were chiefly aimed to ignite the second Korean war.
  • The Australian newspaper Canberra Times and AFP said that those operations were planned nine months ago and the U.S. and South Korea decided to stage the exercises in order to show that they remain alert on the Korean Peninsula despite the U.S. Iraqi war.
    Yes. That's clearly designed to ignite a second Korean war...

  • Radio Voice of Russia commented the deployment of more U.S. Forces on the Korean Peninsula is an indication that such military operation as the one against Iraq can be staged on the peninsula.

  • The U.S. newspapers Worker and Worker's World, the Malaysian newspaper New Straits Times, the Mexican newspaper Reforma, the Czech newspaper Halo Noviny and many other newspapers observed that the involvement of large-size bombers and stealth fighters of the U.S. air force in the exercises suggests that they can easily go over to an actual war operation anytime as it is an open warning to the DPRK.

  • The Romanian newspaper Curierul National said Bush's remark that if diplomatic efforts to solve the crisis fail during the joint military exercises, the U.S. may turn to a military option proves that it is going to steadily escalate tensions on the peninsula by staging military exercises in a bid to destroy socialism in the DPRK.
    Musta missed it when Bush actually said that...

  • The exercises were hit as criminal and provocative manoeuvres to mount a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK and an extension of the team spirit joint military exercise by many political parties, organizations and personages of the world. They included

    • the Socialist Unionist Party of Syria,
    • the Lebanese Communist Party,
    • the Genuine Lumumbist Patriotic Party of Democratic Congo,
    • the Palestine National Liberation Movement (FATAH),
    • the British Association for Friendship with Korea,
    • the Norway-Korea Friendship Society,
    • the International Liaison Committee for Reunification and Peace in Korea,
    • the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist),
    • the secretary general of the Arabic Association for Arts, Culture and Information of Egypt,
    • the chairman of the Swiss Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification and
    • the chairman of the Peruvian Committee for Supporting the Independent and Peaceful Reunification of Korea.

#5  No loss on the Genuine Lumumbist Patriotic Party....too old school. I much prefer The All New and Improved Lumumbist Patriotic Party (less calories, and half the fat).

Except they're all Communists.
I'm trying to figure out who is more delusional, Saddam or Kim. But I think Kim takes the cake.
