But I am heartened at what Cheney said to draw this broadside:
Cheney said in a TV interview with CNN aired on Monday that Kim was "one of the world's more irresponsible leaders."
"He runs a police state. He's got one of the most heavily militarized societies in the world," Cheney said. "He doesn't take care of his people at all. And he obviously wants to throw his weight around and become a nuclear power."
Cheney says the bleeding obvious and yet I'm sure some will be all nervous that the North Koreans won't talk to us.
Tough. As I said a little earlier, we should insult them daily:
I say that our officials in the State and Defense departments as well as the White House should have a rotating schedule of coming out and saying something truthful about North Korea that will absolutely drive the Pillsbury Nuke Boy crazy. Every day. Maybe then Pyongyang will know we are serious about addressing their nuclear developments and ignoring their pissy little tirades intended to intimidate the excitable types over here.
And with famine still stalking an already weakned and shrunken North Korea, the Pillsbury Nuke Boy has a lot to worry about. Anybody packing a couple or fifty extra pounds will be marked as the regime's stooges and rulers when the starving masses finally rise up and pull down the irresponsible Kim Jong-Il.
Squeeze the North. Don't rescue them. The regime must die and the sooner our excitable types realize that the North Koreans are the ones with their balls in a vice, the sooner we can resolve this problem.
