#1 But the Norks can afford to develop nuclear weapons and keep a HUGE standing army.

What a bunch of sick disgusting excuses for human beings.

#2 On the surface it would appear that ex-POTUS Jimbo is going against the very same, original Human Rights-centric rationale he began his international sojourns long ago after he left office.

OTOH, METHINKS JIMBO RECOGNIZES THAT NORTH KOREA'S DOMESTIC SITUATION [Food] IS STEADILY EVOL BEYOND DIRE, + THAT NEW FULL-SCALE WAR ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA IS MUCH CLOSER THAN ANYONE WILL ADMIT. IMO Jimbo likely is seeing that the US-West + ROK + UNO may have no choice in the end but to prioritize INTER-KOREAN, REGIONAL PEACE OVER HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN NORTH KOREA.

FOOD AID = STOPPING KIMMIE FROM ATTACKING VARIOUS MAJOR MIL TARGETS IN SOUTH KOREA + JAPAN, THUS ACHIEVING DPRK-DESIRED "MUTUAL DESTRUCTION" + INTENTIONAL US-CHINA, ETC. REGIONAL CONFLICT INCLUD NUCWAR???

Kimmie + Regime have no qualms about fighting the MAD "final battle" that Reagan, Bush 1 + Gorby did not after the collapse of the Berlin Wall + implosion of the USSR.

* WAFF > NORTH KOREA CONTINUING TO BUILD NUCLEAR REACTOR [Yongybon] | {StrategyPage] NORTH KOREA: THE ARABIAN NIGHTMARE.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > REAL POVERTY IN CHINA [PRC versus UNO WB Poverty Standards].

ARTIC = China continues to claim "neglible" poverty rates + 10% annual growth rates despite having Asia's, World's biggest population of poor.

#3 TOPIX > COMMUNIST REBELS VOW TO RESIST RETURN OF US TO [former]PHILIPPINES BASES, in any shape, form, or size.

Methinks its safe to say that the MUSLIM REBELS will also resist.

#5 I wonder how long a starving cripple would be able to attack anyone.

I think the scenario has been covered in a couple hundred zombie movies and games. Just don't let them get too close to mob you.

#6 How Carter rose from an inept dogcatcher intern to POTUS is the feat of the 20th Century.

#7 I've always said him and Obumbles have the same smile. Two america-hating individuals.

#9 He's Invited to Nork?
We'll be paying ransom to get him back.
So why go? Or is that the whole idea, Go and let them ransom him back?

#10 "Carter, 86, who was not travelling on behalf of the U.S. government, had been invited to North Korea for discussions with senior political and military officials as a way to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, which he said were ''at rock bottom." "

Well no problem. If tensions were high that would be bad, but tensions at rock bottom sounds like the peninsula is happy for a change. No wonder the North wants Carter there.

I suspect the oddly worded bit is more the fault of the writer than Carter but I think its funny.

#11 If James Earl Carter looked me dead in the eye and said the grass was green and the sky is blue, I'd take a trusted team of people outside to confirm it.

#12 Kim Jong-il "sent word that he and the people of North Korea are willing to negotiate with South Korea or the United States or (the other powers involved in six-party nuclear disarmament talks) on any subject, at any time and without any preconditions," he added.

What's to negotiate? Drop your guns and come out with your hands up or stay in there and starve.

#13 The Kimmie regime in NORK has remained while others fell because of governments giving so-called humanitarian aid that propped up said regime. Including the US. Jimmy and Co are enablers of despots, not humanitarians.

#15 I think that's it RJ, a volunteer human-shield and/or hostage. Someone quipped (I wish I could give proper credit) the other day that NORK holds its people hostage so the west either lets millions starve or feeds/arms their declared mortal enemy.

#16 I guess the current President has been sinking so fast, that Jimmy needed to do something to stay at the bottom.
