   "North Korea threatens new bomb"   
       The Age. June 15, 2009   
       Peter Foster, Beijing   
      
   "NORTH Korea has pledged to begin work "weaponising"   
   plutonium to create another nuclear bomb as it delivered   
   a furious response to a UN resolution ordering a fresh   
   round of sanctions."   
      
      
      Dealing with the atheist tyranny of Nth Korea is like   
      dealing with a rabid dog.   
      
   "The regime of ailing dictator Kim Jong-il said it was   
   now in the "early phase of all-out confrontation with   
   the US".   
      
       Yawn.  Atheist posturing cometh before a fall!   B^D   
      
   "On Friday, the Security Council ordered an almost total   
   arms embargo and a raft of strict financial sanctions   
   against the North in punishment for its testing of a   
   second nuclear device last month."   
      
       They could be consistent and impose the same   
       sanctions on Israel.   
      
       Obama is right.. all nuclear weapons must be eliminated   
       from the planet.   
      
   "In a bellicose statement, Pyongyang described the sanctions   
   as the "vile product" of US policy in the region, adding   
   that it would also begin work enriching uranium as it sought   
   to build up stocks of fissile material for its nuclear   
   weapons program."   
      
       This is what you get when Godless Madness rules.   
      
   "The North is thought to have approximately 8000 spent   
   plutonium fuel rods that, if reprocessed, could yield six   
   to eight kilograms of high-grade plutonium, or enough to   
   make at least one more nuclear bomb."   
      
       It has about a million spent Party members, which if   
       brains were dynamite, couldn't blow their military caps off!   
      
   "The sanctions have also authorised UN member-states to stop   
   and search North Korean vessels on the high seas if they   
   suspect they are carrying banned nuclear or missile components.   
      
   North Korea replied that any attempt to blockade its ships   
   would be regarded "as an act of war and met with a decisive   
   military response".   
      
        Once again the world must answer the question, can you   
        appease a rogue state?   
      
        And should it be allowed to continue to oppress it's own people?   
      
   "US intelligence sources have said they now fully expect North   
   Korea to test a third nuclear device and go ahead with another   
   test-firing of its Taepodong-2 ballistic missile, for which   
   preparations are already under way, according to satellite imagery.   
      
   Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the UN, said that "based on   
   past experience and a pattern that North Korea has of reckless   
   and dangerous actions, it would not be a surprise if North   
   Korea reacted to this very tough sanctions regime in a   
   fashion that would be further provocation".   
      
   After being censured by the UN for conducting a ballistic missile test   
   in April, the North reacted by testing a second nuclear device last   
   month, which analysts said had four times the power of its first test in   
   October 2006.   
      
   The second test was also seen as an attempt by the physically ailing Kim   
   Jong-il to bolster his standing at home before announcing that his   
   25-year-old son, Kim Jong-un, would be his successor."   
      
       Kim Wrong Ill or Kim Wrong-un, what's the difference between one   
       atheist madman and another?   
      
   "In its latest statement, Pyongyang said it was now "an absolutely   
   impossible option" for it to give up its nuclear weapons, adding "it   
   makes no difference to the DPRK (North Korea) whether its nuclear status   
   is recognised or not".   
      
   Analysts said the impact of sanctions depended on how far China and the   
   US acted to enforce the new provisions.   
      
   Although the UN resolution was eventually passed unanimously, China said   
   the cargo inspections were "very complicated and sensitive" and could   
   not be carried out by force.   
      
   "The countries concerned have to act prudently in accordance with   
   international and domestic laws," said Zhang Yesui, China's UN   
   ambassador. "Under no circumstances should there be the use of force or   
   the threat of use of force."
