N Korea prepares for war against US
2004-07-09
North Korea’s defence chief urged soldiers on Thursday to step up combat preparations, denouncing the United States for plotting an attack on the communist country. The order was contained in a speech made by Defence Minister Kim Il-Chol to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of former North Korean president Kim Il-Sung. “The service-persons will increase the combat capability and step up the combat preparations in every way under the uplifted slogan of a-match-for-a hundred (a soldier capable of beating 100 enemy soldiers) to defend as firm as an iron wall the socialist motherland,” he said. The defence minister accused Washington of stepping up “preparations for a war of aggression behind the curtain of the six-party talks.” North Korea is ready to mobilise its “military deterrent force built up for years ... and accomplish the historic cause of national reunification without fail,” he said. North Korea regularly accuses the United States of plotting a surprise attack on the Stalinist state.

#16  Personal to PD....

I've buried two dogs on golf courses with the help of greenskeepers. :)

Naturally they are located (seriously) at two par 5s with bends in them. They are in the bends. :)

#15  I was a greenskeeper for a coupla years in HS. There were two spots that I was regularly asked to point out - local legend was attached: where the two people who had been struck by lightening, and fried, were hit. Golfers are a strange brew, lol!

#8  Nothing to see here, just Dear Leader channeling the Great Leader (eternal president).

The minister’s speech came after North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il and top army officers made a midnight visit to a mausoleum where the embalmed body of Kim Il-Sung has been lying in state. Kim Il-Sung governed the Stalinist country for 46 years until his death by building a personality cult around him and his family. North Koreans still call their deceased leader “eternal president.”
