| Diplomat: No New Missile at N.Korea Parade |
| 2003-09-09 |
| Via Drudge North Korea did not display any new missile or military hardware at a parade to mark its 55th birthday Tuesday, a Western diplomat based in Pyongyang said. "No new missiles, only soldiers, no (military) hardware," the diplomat told Reuters by telephone. "It was a pretty normal, run-of-the-mill parade as far as I could see. Nothing special," the diplomat, who asked not to be identified, said. North Korean leader Kim Jong-il viewed the 90-minute parade from a platform, but did not make a speech, the diplomat said. Unfortunately the marbles were also forgotten - that’s for you tu3031 |

| #3 I hear that the paper mache didn't dry fast enough and the dummy warhead kept falling off. |

| #2 No heavy equipment, just goose-stepping soldiers. I'm sure the Norks wanted to rattle their heavy ubber-weapons, but it's really hard to look tough when you have to hitch them up to a couple hundred army guys and PULL them through the square. |

| #1 It has also been about a week since NKor threatened to test a nuke and a long range missile. Possibly the soldiers putting together these items died of starvation before they could finish the job. |
