N Korea 'removes nuclear seals'
North Korea has removed UN nuclear watchdog seals from a key atomic facility, the organisation has said.
Pyongyang had said it would reactivate the Yongbyon plant amid disputes over a disarmament-for-aid deal.
North Korea said Washington had not removed it, as promised, from a list of state sponsors of terrorism.
The removal of similar seals in December 2002 sparked a long-running crisis which resulted in Pyongyang testing an atomic weapon in 2006.
Pyongyang was expecting to be removed from the US terror list after finally submitting a long-delayed account of its nuclear facilities to the six-party talks in June, in accordance with the disarmament deal it signed in 2007.
It also blew up the main cooling tower at Yongbyon in a symbolic gesture of its commitment to the process.

This is just another internal gambit in the power struggle, although a stupid one, as it will take a long time to start the production. The result is only that “Kim is very Il” not will get the promised fuel oil etc.
The big question is if something dramatic will happen in the next few weeks. Who will be in charge and will someone try to make an offer to SK or to China?

"Hello Condi? What the Hell is going on with our little buddy? Is Kim Jong Ill?? Hyuk! Hyuk! (get it Condi? 'Ill'?)"
"Sniff, Sob, Sigh"
"Dammit Condi, are you crying again? Those pesky feminine hormones kicking your backside? Say, maybe you need some of them artificial hormones, you think? You ever hear about how to make a hormone Condi? Don't pay her! (hyuk!)"
"Mr. President, I fear that not only is Kim Jong Il dead, but so too are the Six Party Talks ('sniff')"
"Ahhhh don't worry about it Madame Secretary, we'll see about putting together some SEVEN Party Talks and pick up where our deceased little Partner for Peace & Prosperity in the Far East left off before he went off into the Great Beyond, who do you think he was hoping to meet over there Condi, Buddha, General Tao (he's got some great fried chicken, you ever try it Condi?), or do you think maybe he got right with Jesus before he kicked off?"
"Mr. President, I wouldn't know."
"You wouldn't? Well pick yourself up a box of General Tao's Fried Chicken, he puts Colonel Sanders to shame, I'm tellin' ya! Let me know when the funeral service is scheduled for our late little buddy, ok? I'm sending Dick over there, told him to invite the new leadership to a quail hunt, ain't that a riot Condi?"
"click"
"Condi? Damn, she hung up on me, and I'm the President of the United States, she DOES need some of them artificial hormones, I believe it!"
"Hello Dick? On that funeral in Pyangyong? Ask 'em if they can send back some Kung Pao Chicken & Spring Rolls, would ya?"

How dare NK remove the nuclear seals... don’t they know that nuclear seals are an endangered species, like the nuclear otter, nuclear walrus, and nuclear penguin?

UN nuclear watchdog Uh huh. More like "attack chihuahua." You just know the UN coward won't do a thing about this. Their sanctions are not worth the balloon juice they're made of.

You may be right, in fact I’ll go so far as to say you are probably right, but in the never-never bizzaro world of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, no one really knows.
Anyone who tries to tell you he knows how power works in that country is a liar. We simply have no idea.
North Korea could implode or explode at any time. And the consequences of that happening are going to be horrific no matter how smoothly it happens — and I don’t expect it to be smooth at all.
