QUOTE OF THE HOUR

From Reuters:

“No one can expect to hear reasonable words from Bush, once a cowboy at a ranch in Texas. His remarks often stun audiences as they reveal his utter ignorance.”

That quote actually came not from an Al Gore speech, but rather from a more reputable source: a spokesman at the North Korean Foreign Ministry. They adopt as their own line the propaganda they hear coming from the American left.

On a side note, North Korea’s KCNA news service reports that “general march for a massive turnout on day of May 13 anti-U.S. action.” The same story proclaims that since North Korea has declared that it was a nuclear power and could stand up to the United States, the U.S. has lost its position as “the world’s only holder of supremacy.”

From Newsmax (caveat), here is Senator Clinton blaming the President for Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times reports that “a senior Pentagon intelligence official might have overstated the position of analysts when he told a Senate committee Thursday that the U.S. believed North Korea had the ability to arm a missile with a nuclear device.”

In a follow-up statement Friday evening, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said, “North Korea has a theoretical capability to produce a warhead and mate it with a missile, but we have no information to suggest they have done so.”

It would be nice if someone would diplomatically slap them silly.
