N. Korean General: We'll Nuke You

(CBS) North Korean three-star General Ri Chan Bok tells correspondent Dan Rather that if the U.S. invades his country, he will use nuclear weapons to defend it.

Rather spoke to the general during a recent visit to the reclusive Communist dictatorship for a 60 Minutes report airing this Sunday, Jan. 15, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

“Tell the American people that you met the general. If the United States invades our country and starts a war, the People’s Army will fight to the death and defend ourselves, taking appropriate revenge,” says Gen. Bok.

Does the general think that the United States might attack North Korea? “We firmly believe that the United States will carry out its policies on our country, even if they have to use military means,” Gen. Bok tells Rather. “What we can say to you definitely right now is that we currently have nuclear weapons,” he threatens.

Bok wouldn’t show 60 Minutes cameras any of his missiles, but did show Rather his troops at the border with South Korea. There are more than 30,000 American forces on the other side. The general said that the Americans and their South Korean allies have stepped up military and propaganda exercises recently. He said it’s because of what he calls the “neo-conservatives” in the Bush administration.

“[Neo-conservatives] are people who want to dominate the world, just like the Nazis of Germany. After striking Iraq they want North Korea,” says Bok.

The U.S. State Department refused to discuss North Korea with 60 Minutes.

Any mention of starving, bark eating civilians? Did the General explain why orphans in his country lay in filthy beds, starving? Did the General look like he had missed a meal? You can bet no meals have been missed on Kim's sex and party train as it crosses Asia.

More importantly, did Dan Rather ask about the food supply situation?

Dan interviewed for a new "journalist" job with the Red Korean government propaganda unit, while in NK, no doubt.

Needs to plan for his oblivion future, you know.

Ole Danny felt as a child, the Red Korean General towering before him, larger than life to lil' Danny. Danny quivered so, in the Generals' presence.

It is funny how General BokChoy spouts the same rhetoric about 'war mongering neocons' as our left.

It's not "funny".

It's because they are the same; of the same cloth and of the same mother.

Either way at least they've accepted the fact they'll fight to their death.

Kim Jong-Il is in China right now on a surprise/secret visit. Maybe something will come out of it.

After they tried to blow up his armored train last time, he has decided to be more low-key about the trip this time.

Other than his head on a pike I don't know what good will come of it. I'm suspicious that either the chicoms or the ruskies are going to put him up to something.

Gee, thanks Bill...Mad Maddie...Sandy Burglar...Willie Cohen....thanks for giving our frickin' enemies NUCLEAR WEAPONS in exchange for Chinese Campaign money!

Try them all for Treason, execute them, and let their head be put on pikes to show the next 10 generations that some politics come with too high a price!
