Yesterday the state-controlled media criticised the US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, who earlier this year described North Korea as "an outpost of tyranny". Pyongyang has demanded an apology as a precondition for its return to the six-nation talks.
In its rant against Ms Rice, Radio Pyongyang suggested that having a woman in charge of American foreign policy was a weakness: "It's a sad house where the hen crows louder than the rooster", it stated.
Lil Kim better be careful, that's our Secretary of State he's talking about.
From S. Korean press:
U.S. Deployment of Stealth Fighters a Prelude to War: KCNA U.S. to Send Stealth Bombers to Korea U.S. 'Ready for Permanent Talks Boycott by N.Korea' Newspaper Smells U.S. Moves to Isolate N.Korea North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said Sunday that the United States’ decision to place stealth fighter-bombers undetectable by radar in South Korea is a dangerous sign that indicates a prelude to war. The KCNA reported that the United States had decided to deploy fifteen F-117 stealth fighter-bombers to South Korea in late May, and said that it was obviously a dangerous sign that foretells the outbreak of a war. An official at the U.S. Forces in Korea said last Thursday that the deployment of stealth bomber to South Korea was part of a continuing rotation of forces to get airmen acquainted with the geography of the Korean Peninsula and operational plans, the North Korean news agency reported. The KCNA emphasized that it was the fifth time since 1993 that the United States had deployed stealth bombers to South Korea. After terminating the nine-year-long excavation of bodies of U.S. soldiers killed during the Korean War in North Korea last Wednesday, the U.S. Department of State announced Thursday that it would carry out military exercises near the Korean Peninsula with 15 stealth bombers.
