Kim Jong Il Wants Nuclear-Free Korea

:::::::::::full spit take:::::::::::

SINCE WHEN?!!!!

All this man has said almost since GW became president is that he was bound and determined to become a nuclear power. N. Korea has been a proliferator of nuclear arms technology to Iran for at least the last couple of years. So if by wanting a nuclear-free Korea he means armed to the teeth with ICBM's then I guess I can take this seriously.

Here's the story:

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il told a visiting Chinese diplomat Wednesday that his country seeks a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported.

Xinhua also paraphrased Kim as saying that he hoped six-party international talks could be an important platform for realizing that goal. A new round of talks - involving the two Koreas, the United States, China, Russia and Japan - are expected to begin in Beijing the week of July 25.

Kim made his remarks to Chinese State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan, who is on a diplomatic mission to the North as a representative of President Hu Jintao, Xinhua said.
