SEOUL North Korea said it would reject any settlement of the nuclear weapons dispute as long as the United States was led by President George W. Bush, whom a North Korean official called a "cowboy."
Meanwhile, the United States reportedly warned allies that North Korea might be ready to carry out an underground nuclear test as early as June.
"Bush is a hooligan bereft of any personality as a human being, to say nothing of stature as president of a country," a spokesman of the North Korean Foreign Ministry told the country's official news agency, KCNA, on Saturday. The official also described Bush as a "half-baked man in terms of morality," a "philistine whom we can never deal with" and a "world dictator whose hands are stained with the blood shed by innocent civilians."
The comments were a reaction to a White House news conference Thursday in which Bush described the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il, as a "tyrant" and a "dangerous person" who starved his people and ran "huge concentration camps."
The exchange of barbs underscored an increasingly hostile confrontation over the resumption of stalled six-nation talks intended to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program.
"No one can expect to hear reasonable words from Bush, once a cowboy at a ranch in Texas," the North Korean spokesman said.

I guess it is an "insult" to tell the truth. Evidently we have insulted a lot of people, like Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Mao etc.
Somehow, that N. Korea won't deal with Bush makes me feel safer. After all, he LOVED Clinton -- after extorting the U.S. tax payer for zillions, compliments of that lyin', perjurin', adulteratin, cheatin', waggin'-the-dog, justice obtructin', amoral, spineless, gutless, military-hatin', cop-hatin', pot smokin', weak, bulbous-nosed, fat-assed, beady-eyed, former commander-in-briefs.
Ya know this whole business with NK is laughable...
All that needs to be done is for GWB to tell the Chicoms to put their dog(NK) on a leash or else their products will not be allowed in America...
No Chicom exports to the West, no revenue for the Chicoms and the Chicoms' dog, NK doesn't eat!
It's really elementary my dear, Watson!
No problem. If I were liked by liberals, communists, and other desirables, that's when I would start to worry.
Insult??? When I was growing up, cowboys were the GOOD guys!
The NK spokesman is a Deaniac. "YEEAAAGGHHHH!!!"
"...and your father smelled of elderberries!"
No way. We would lose the lawsuit in the WTO and be forced to pay billions in lost revenues.
ROTFLMAO! All true!
"We would lose the lawsuit in the WTO and be forced to pay billions in lost revenues."
yea, well good luck collectin' LMAO
Only problem with that, is the not so insignificent fact that the Chicoms hold a very large portion of American Iraqi war debt. Shucks, we had to get the bucks somewhere.
And the Chicoms got the money from Walmart who in turn got it from Americans...
Maybe we should just sell war bonds and pay ourselves LOL...
According to my daughter's history books, cowboys and the US in general, are the bad guys.
Ya know, that noo-cue-lar material is awful twitchy stuff. I hope they have it stored properly when they do their test. Otherwise, the whole area might just go up in one big mushroom cloud. It would be a terrible accident, but they do have a history of this. Just look at that train explosion. Why, I'll bet in the investigation afterward, they will find the signature of fissionable material made in the good ole USA. Kim musta stole it. Funny, though ... it looks like the explosion of their stockpile included an air burst or two. Perhaps some material was ejected upward by their initial test and a critical mass formed on the way down. Yeah, that's the ticket.
I'm stickin with the COWBOY!
Don't worry. All we have to do is wait for the weather to get cold. Then the NorK rhetoric will turn a lot softer...
I wish.
n korea's china's pit bull.
least they could do is put it on a leash if we're going to do wal-mart with them.
Andrew Card was on Meet the Press this morning. They showed a clip where Hillary Clinton, in one of her Congressional Committees, interviewed a US security official who said that the current US assessment is that North Korea could hit United States territory with a nuclear bomb.
How is this not the top news story? If North Korea is part of the axis of evil, and if their leader is crazy, how can this be usurped in the media by some idiotic woman from Atlanta getting cold feet?
I remember 5 or 6 months ago when the prevailing wisdom was that North Korea was likely to attain ultimate nuclear compatibility within months. Has nothing been done since then? At the time I felt secure... there is no way the United States would allow North Korea to progress towards nuclear weapons capabilities, but now the position of the US Government is that they do have that capability now.
This is a disaster. Blame slick willy all you want. North Korea acquired the ability to strike the US with nuclear weapons under George W. Bush's watch, not Bill Clinton.
You nailed it. China plays nicey-nicey, but the NK's bitch slap us. It's a "face" thing.
Actually, it's a win - win for all of Asia.
DNC/DU spokesman?
Exactly. The DNC or Kerry camps could easily claim plagiarism. How can the U.S. expect better from any foreign country?
Welcome to FR... sort of.
Good luck. You're going to need it.
He`s a cowboy and a hooligan? Too bad we don`t have more cowboys and hooligans in this world. There`s just not enough GW`s in this world and it`s the only reason tyranny still exists in the 21st Century, something 20 years I thought by now would have been a thing of the past. But then again I forgot that liberals just won`t go away.
Governor Dean, you really ought to be more subtle when you try sneaking into FR like this.
Maybe you should read about how Slick gave them the money to build those weapons with tyrant gigilo Jimmah Cartah, oh that`s right, it was a "bribe" so they wouldn`t build weapons. Yes, who wouldn`t trust an effeminate midget tyrant who starves his people with $5 billion. And if you haven`t noticed we`re sort of busy right now in Iraq and I can only imagine the hell that would break lose from liberals if GW should get tougher on another douche tyrant.
Kim Jong Il must have gotten a fax or e-mail of the DNC talking points.
