North Korea dreams of an American city in flames

[steveox]

SEOUL - New York under missile attack is remote dream for impoverished North Korea, yet that is precisely what the latest propaganda video from the isolated state shows as it readies a third nuclear test.

The video, posted on the semi-official Uriminzokkiri website (http://www.uriminzokkiri.com/) and fast becoming a viral Internet hit, shows a US city in flames in scenes reminiscent of 9/11 -- part of a dream sequence in which a photographer circles the earth in a fictionalised North Korean space shuttle.

The rocket depicted in the crude animation, whose backing track is an instrumental version "We Are the World", is labelled the Unha-9 and the satellite is the Kwangmyongsong-21 as the young man dreams of photographing the earth from space.

"Black smoke is seen somewhere in America," Korean the text of the video says. "It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze with the fire it started."

The video was removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim by Activision Games Inc, from whose "Call of Duty" title the images of the burning city appeared to have been taken, but was still accessible elsewhere on the Web.

So far, North Korea has launched the Unha-3 rocket and is also on the third version of its satellite, which finally made it into space in December last year at the third attempt, triggering the new sanctions from the United Nations.

Blame Bill Clinton flor this mess. It all started with the talks betweeen Albright and Kim Jung Un. When Albright said,,We will give you food medicene and goods if you promise not to make Nuclear weapons. And she also gave an Micheal Jordan autographed basketball to Kim Jung Un. This is what Liberals do,,BE NICE TO THEM!!! BE NICE TO THEM!!! BE NICE TO THEM!!! BE NICE TO THEM!!!

North Korea's nuclear programme is backed by Russia and China which control the UN Security Council and any sanctions against North Korea are reduced to a mere slap on the wrist and no significant action can be taken to stop North Korea from perfecting its goal of building nuclear warheads small enough to be placed on long-range missiles. Pyongyang is desperate to possess nuclear-tipped missiles which could strike the US as an insurance policy and only Washington's assurance that it would not seek regime change would appease North Korea and we cannot underestimate the Koreans' technical expertise given Samsung's recent rise in the IT industry.

North Korea says it successfully conducts nuclear test

North Korea confirmed on Tuesday it has successfully conducted a third nuclear test, saying it used a miniaturized device that had a greater explosive force than previous tests, the North's KCNA official news agency said. It was confirmed that the nuclear test that was carried out at a high level in a safe and perfect manner using a miniaturized and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force than previously did not pose any negative impact on the surrounding ecological environment," KCNA said.

I guess BO will issue a strongly worded tweet.

We'll see if he mentions it in his "State of the Union" tonight.
