It could happen to any of them.

The real power of course is in the “inner party”, politburo or whatever they call it there.

Found a video showing Saddam calling out the “Traitors.”

That’s what this story reminded me of.

Such drama, couldn’t he have stood behind him with a
baseball bat like Deniro?

This is like Obama having Hilary! arrested and dragged
out during the State of the Union.

Some folks are running scared tonight.

Yes, within the last year. They took Kim Chol, Vice Minister of the Army, out onto an mortar range. Usually they just tie the victim (condemned) to a post, blindfolded, and give him the “triple tap” with a crew of KPA with AK-47; several to the head, several to the chest, several to the feet. In this case, young Kim Jong Un was reported as ordering, “I do not want so much as a bone fragment left of this guy, so obliterate him on the mortar range”. And by golly that is what they did. It would not surprise me that he had at filmed to a) scare all cadre and ranks within the party and military; and b) get his own jollies off. Maybe watched it with his new bride in order to “get it up”. One sick puppy, in charge of nukes. Bad combination. Bad body.

Informative article by Andrei Lankov:

A smart mentor must know when to retire, to be rewarded with a nice castle in the countryside. Many mentors however are too ambitious to know when is the time.

It indeed seems that, in this particular case, the King has developed a great deal of personal dislike and irritation for this particular mentor – this might be the reason why the long anticipated purge of Jang took a peculiar turn.

But, is it really baby Kim behind this, or is it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choe_Ryong-hae ?

I'm convinced that the only way to ever beat NK in a war is to kill them all.
Then repopulate the forest with yard gnomes.

Could this be the reason:

October 16, 2012
South Korean government officials are trying to piece together why Kim Kyong Hui, the powerful aunt and mentor of North Korea's youthful leader Kim Jong Un, likely met with Kim Jong Nam, her nephew and Kim Jong Un’s estranged half-brother, recently in Singapore.

Reports on Kim Kyong Hui's activities stopped appearing in the North Korean news media in early September. She was absent from a Sept. 25 session of the Supreme People's Assembly. Media silence on her activities was broken only on Oct. 7.

Knowledgeable sources in South Korea said Kim Kyong Hui returned to North Korea from Singapore on Oct. 4. Kim Jong Nam is also likely to have been in Singapore around the same time.
It is believed that she and her husband, Jang Song Thaek, director of the Administration Department of the WPK Central Committee, looked after the young Kim Jong Nam like they were his parents.

After the death of Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Nam, his eldest son, was not selected as his successor. Instead it is believed that he is now based in Macao and elsewhere and is engaged in trade with North Korea and supports opening up the country's economy to the rest of the world.

Kim Jong Nam and Kim Jong Un are believed to be estranged from each other because they were raised separately.

Analysts have pointed out recently that Kim Kyong Hui has health concerns, including heart problems and is suffering from alcoholism. They therefore initially speculated that she visited Singapore for medical treatmen

There is indeed a report that Jang recently sent his man to China to reach out to Kim Jong-nam.

Lots of information and allegations are pouring out these days.

Talking tough sounds good... at least to those who don't have relatives in Korea.

I'm going to say this only once because I think you know the truth here. What possible sense is there in killing millions of people who have done nothing, just because of evil decisions by a few hundred people in key positions in North Korea, and a few tens of thousands of bureaucrats who implement those decisions and are at a level where they actually bear responsibility for them?

The vast majority of North Koreans are victims of their own government. Let's not forget that.

Decapitation of the North Korean regime needs to be the goal, not killing millions of North Koreans.

It's not tough talk behind a keyboard. It's called M.A.D. Mutual Assured Destruction.
When they use their nukes on our Allies there will be no Vietnam style battle. When.

And no, they're not victims as if America can only be evil.
