SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea demanded an apology Friday from the United States for what it described as “piracy” in the seizure of a ship carrying missiles to Yemen. A day earlier, North Korea declared that it would revive a nuclear power plant that the United States and its allies suspect was being used to develop nuclear weapons before it was frozen in 1994.

[billorites]

Would they like the apology before or after?

[areafiftyone]

Would they like Fries with that? What a joke!

[Gary Boldwater]

What about the USS Pueblo?

[areafiftyone]

Maybe they can get Trent Lott to aplogize to them. After all he is getting to be an expert at it.

How about if we apologize to "Dear Leader" by kicking him upside his ass?

Or what? They'll break their 1994 treaty with us? LOL

Big, bad, Stalinist losers...

[RightWhale]

Interdict all their ships.

Oh, and by the way, it was the Spanish Navy who initially boarded the vessel. Blame NATO.

[Pistolshot]

Sorry. It must have slipped out.

>>disrupt cross-border railway construction

Right! The SouthKoreans have completed their part of the deal but there are no correponding railway tracks on the NorthKorean side.

Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out who in the Axis if Evil is 'stupider' and who is 'eviler'.

Kim Jong-Il is not making this decision any easier for me!

No problem. Send the missiles back to North Korea. Incoming!

[RightWhale]

Axis of Stupid.

[toddst]

Predator + Hellfire + Kim Jong-Il and his inner circle = solution. But first we have Saddam and friends to sort out. We'll get around to North Korea soon enough.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Yes,I think some of those dogs they've been eating had RABIES!!

[Stultis]

The official said the missile components were part of a “legal trade contract” and that the ship was “on a normal voyage along the publicly recognized sea route.”

Uh, pardon... False manifest? False registration? False flag? Name of ship painted over? That this is "normal" from the North Korean perspective speaks volumes.

OFFICIAL APOLOGY TO NORTH KOREA:

The United States of America apologizes for any inconvenience you may have experienced regarding the latest naval incident. We should have trusted you since you have never lied to us nor given us any prior reason to question your moral integrity and judgment in world matters.

In the future, if we suspect that you may be illegally transporting missles, nuclear materials, or WMD, we will refrain from boarding your ships or questioning your intent. We will,instead, fire 10 ICBM tactical nuclear warheads into the governmental buildings in Pyonpeng (or whatever the hell you bastards call it) so we can eradicate this planet of a**holes like you, whose dicks aren't big enough to get into a p*ssing contest with.

PS. Bill and Hillary send their best.

Also, how about apologizing for the Navy plane they shot down when Nixon was in office.

[IronJack]

I have my apology written in very tiny letters on the right cheek of my butt. I'd be glad to let them read it.

[Diana Rose]

NK,

F... you means never having to say your sorry.

[Enterprise]

That pretty much sums it up.

"Oh, beHAVE, you cheeky monkeys!"

[luv2ndamend]

Right here North Korea!

[BillyRubin]

I'm so sorry you were sending missles to our enemies. Does that qualify as an apology?

[Endeavor]

Do they want to be toast?

[Endeavor]

Aye, laddie, I like the way you think ;>)

[reagan_fanatic]

Here's your damned apology...

[Citizen of the United States]

North Korea has no respect for law. Consequently, it does not make a serious effort to understand it. Even now, as it accuses the United States of unlawful conduct, it demonstrates its own ignorance on the matter.

Piracy is the unlawful seizure of a ship or of an aeroplane by armed forces that do not hold commission from any sovereign state. Ipso facto, Spanish and United States military and naval forces cannot commit piracy.

In any event, the whole scenario is perfectly preposterous. Caught in flagrante delecto, the North Koreans have the adacity to play the part of the victim. It is, in effect, a criminal demanding an apology of the police, for being so insolent as to catch him.
