S.Korea detects 'massive' N.Korea troop deployment (AFP) – 08/24/10

SEOUL — South Korea has detected a "massive" deployment of North Korean troops and arms near the capital Pyongyang, Seoul's defence ministry said Tuesday.

The large number of soldiers, armoured vehicles and artillery have been stationed near the communist state's capital since July 12, the ministry said in a report to parliament.

The deployment appears to be related to political events such as a meeting of key communist party delegates next month and the party's 65th anniversary on October 10, a ministry spokesman told AFP.

ya know, that might be right!!

Well, with all of them in one spot like that, a single nuke-tipped Tomahawk would do a world of good.

Beer Crinton converted them to conventional for what Jay Leno dubbed "Operation Blow Monica Off The Front Page."

No you’re right, they’re fantastic allies.

They’re defending Iran’s “right” to nukes.

But of course, that isn’t on their border. :)

What’s the old saying about a friend in need?

When NK becomes a refugee camp how many will get a free ticket to the US? Instead,
I would hope we just send them ships of grain and the rest of the world pitches in.

Somehow I think the diversity morons running this country will invite them here.

Someday, the populace will tire of eating grass

Maybe that time is nigh?

When you rely on the government for everything, even if it is meager rations you won’t dare try anything.

Thank you SevenofNine for the update.

“Crazy Kim” can’t set off a bomb by him self. Even if he is on his way out the keepers of the nukes (if they have them) may want to save their own lifes.

Thanks jhpigott. Could be anything, however, when Iran moves North Korea will move as well.

August 24, 2010: Since June, at least two additional combat divisions have been camped outside the North Korean capital. No official explanation was given for this troop movement (which required using a lot of scarce fuel.)

The tank crews will just have to get out and push!

When North Korea finally does fall apart there should be a great opportunity to snatch up some cheap well maintained antique military vehicles....ect T-34’s

Is North Korea the first nation to have a national Jim Jones moment?

[LifeChoice]

Why am I just now reminded of Jim Jones and the Guyana tragedy?

[LifeChoice]

Beat me to it...

[L,TOWM]

Only because if the world recognize imadimtitnutjob’s right to build a nuke, they know that they have the green light to build theirs, too. And then, they will politely ask us to leave.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

Carriers too...

[Tzimisce]

If you say so.

[caww]

Oh gee...that’s right...Didn’t the Japanese take their own life rather than surrender? at least many of the woman did and were filled with fear of the allies.

Not the second.
