U.S. Aerial Espionage against DPRK in March
Pyongyang, March 31, 2006 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists committed more than 180 "cases" of aerial espionage against the DPRK by mobilizing reconnaissance planes with different missions in March while staging large-scale "RSOI" and "Foal Eagle" joint military exercises targeted on the DPRK, according to a military source.
"Reconnaissance planes with different missions" "targeted the DPRK, according to a military source"... Informative content is not the K.C.N.A's strong suit.
They let a U-2 and RC-135 fly for intensively spying on major strategic targets and military installations in areas of the north side. Their RC-7B and RC-12 and other type tactical reconnaissance planes committed nearly 150 cases of espionage in March. A special mention should be made of the fact that from Mar. 25 to 31 they sent an overseas-based E-3 almost every day*bohoho* on a mission to command more than 2,000 fighters involved in "RSOI" and "Foal Eagle" joint military exercises for aggression and spy on the areas of the north.

Renewed Preemption

Joint War Maneuvers for Preemptive Nuclear Strike under Fire
Pyongyang, March 27, 2006 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are staging RSOI and "Foal Eagle" large-scale joint military exercises in south Korea under the simulated conditions of an "emergency" on the Korean Peninsula despite the strong opposition of the public opinion in Korea and other parts of the world. *sob*bwhaaa! In this regard Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed commentary observes: The on-going war exercises are aimed at threatening and pressurizing the DPRK by force of arms and bringing the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war. The U.S. is making poor excuses to veil the danger and gravity of this saber-rattling against the DPRK. The DPRK is innocent of sabre-rattling? There isn't another country in the world, declaring to be the victim of an imminent preemptive nuclear strike on a DAILY basis... These war exercises once again clearly indicate that the U.S. loud-mouthed "peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue" and "talks" are nothing but hypocrisy to deceive the public opinion at home and abroad and it is invariably pursuing confrontation and war, while North Korea pursues WMDs and even more government sponsored oppression... RSOI and "Foal Eagle" are a test nuclear war, a preliminary war against the DPRK in view of its scale, nature and contents. Nuclear-powered carrier "Abraham Lincoln" is involved in these war maneuvers for the first time sending a powerful message... It was active in the military operations against Iraq, thus ready for battle. Its operation in the East Sea of Korea for the current war maneuvers discloses the real intention of the U.S. imperialists to ignite a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula at any cost. These war exercises are fraught with the increasing danger as they started right after the U.S. published the new "national security strategy report" in which it re-clarified the "strategy for preemptive attack" as a state policy.
Now, if you can read English, you will know that is said nothing of the sort. This is the blatant and repetitive lie, constantly told to the North Korean people.

In the past decade North Korea has become the world's principal purveyor of ballistic missiles, and has tested increasingly capable missiles while developing its own WMD arsenal. Other rogue regimes seek nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons as well. These states' pursuit of, and global trade in, such weapons has become a looming threat to all nations.

Now that the U.S. has revealed its clear objective to seize the DPRK, its dialogue partner, *snicker*North Korea is the most isolated country in the world. They have few "dialogue partners", and the U.S is not one of them... by force of arms at any cost, in violation of the spirit of the September 19 joint statement in which it committed itself to mutual respect and peaceful co-existence the army and people of the DPRK will strongly react to it with their own traditional mode of actions, that being bizarre rhetoric such as... The U.S. should know that a preemptive attack is not its monopoly.

Annoyance Resolved

Why worry about some stupid Australian jury, when this is better.In any event, the question of returning the vessel appears to have been resolved, and not with the low-key repatriation for which Kim Jong Il might have hoped. It should make for some great diving in a few years.
