N Korea Threatens Military Response Over UN Hearing

Sin Son-ho

In a rare press conference, North Korean UN envoy Sin Son-ho has warned its military will respond if the UN Security Council rebukes it over an alleged torpedo attack on a South Korean warship in March.

“If the Security Council release any documents against us condemning or questioning us in any document then… [as a] diplomat, I can do nothing,” he said.

“The follow-up measures will be carried out by our military forces.”

Sin Son-ho also demanded that North Korea be allowed full access to the evidence of the March sinking of the Cheonan, which American intelligence has concluded was authorized by Communist dictator Kim Jong-Il.

The Security Council has not yet decided on what to do about the sinking of the Cheonan.

The United States said the comments represented more “provocative behaviour”.

“We’re looking for North Korea to change its unacceptable behaviour, to cease belligerent actions,” said White House spokesman Philip Crowley.

“The last thing we want to see is further tension in the Korean peninsula.”

    it has been 10 years since the conclusion of the historic north-south declaration by the DPRK and south Korea.The declaration set down the precept of “By Our Nation Itself
    which is a development of the the 3 principles of reunification expostulated by the great leader President Kim Il Sung, sun of the Korean nation.

    The June 15th declaration broke down the barriers of division,melting away the icy glacier of the cold war on the Korean peninsula.The adoption of the declaration was the fruition of the seasoned leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il
    lodestar of reunification. With the conclusion of the declaration a new era was born,the June 15 era, the “By Our Nation Itself ‘ era.

    Families that were divided were able to meet and write to each other. Inter Korean co operation flourished. Owing to the machinations of the US imperialists and and
    the south Korean puppets, the achievements of the June 15th declaration are being
    destroyed.The anti reunification Lee Myung Bak clique are seeking to reverse the June 15 Declaration. They have whipped up tension to levels of hysteria by faking up the incident of the “Cheonan.This has incited a mood of confrontation and they
    are resorting to all sorts of vile anti DPRK moves such as pyschological warfare and
    trying to use the UNSC to stifle the DPRK.They have blocked south Koreans from attending a June 15 event in the DPRK and are arresting pro reunification patriots all the
    time.

    In order to realise the noble idea of “By Our Nation Itself” the Lee Myung Bak puppet clique must be removed from power and the US imperialist troops must be withdrawn from south Korea.

    The political, social, academic and press circles of south Korea, favoring the principled stand of the DPRK, are growing increasingly suspicious about the “results of investigation” announced by the “joint investigation team” in which it claimed it was done on an objective and scientific basis.

    There is even strong opinion that the ship was sunk by the U.S.

    Not only China closely following the situation around it but also Russia which dispatched an investigation group to the spot of south Korea assert that it is difficult to find out any evidence proving that the ship was sunk by a torpedo of the DPRK.

    The group of traitors, however, went the lengths of bringing the investigation results to the UN, the far-fetched assertion that the ship sinking was linked with the DPRK.

    Accordingly, the army and people of the DPRK will take merciless counter-actions as it had already clarified internally and externally because the group dared opt for infringing upon the dignity and security of the army and people of the DPRK and its supreme interests.

    The army of the DPRK is a powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu which does not make any empty talk. Availing ourselves of this opportunity, we will closely watch once again how the UNSC whose basic mission is to ensure global peace and security will react to the “conspiratorial farce” and “charade” orchestrated by the group of traitors.

    People still remember that the UN, yielding to the U.S. high-handed and arbitrary practices, recognized the “existence of weapons of mass destruction”, a fiction, and okayed its gangster-like armed invasion of Iraq. The UN should no longer allow itself to be reduced to a platform for tolerating such unjust anti-DPRK “conspiratorial farce” and “charade”. There is no reason whatsoever for the group of traitors to refuse to receive the inspection group of the NDC if the results of the investigation into the case are objective and scientific enough to be referred to the UN forum.

    The DPRK remains unchanged in its strong demand that the group of traitors receive its inspection group without delay and produce evidence without a shred of doubt in its eyes.
    The group of traitors will never be able to escape a miserable end mired in the pitfall of “conspiratorial farce” and “charade” orchestrated by itself.

    So we go back 60 years, another Korean war. FIFA should kick N. Korea out of the world cup, but they don’t have the balls for that. Where is Obama sin helth care on this? I wonder.

    Amazing how the world kicked white SA into the zeebee while playing footsie with N. Korea and others like it. How stupid were we to have given in to the pressures of the leftish west during the early 90s while we had 6 nukes. We should’ve stuck it to them as it appears that those presenting the biggest threat and having the loudest mouths are the winners.

    Eish….
