Not surprisingly, there' s no specific mention of the latest North Korean nuclear controversy from the Pyongyang-sponsored Korean Central News Agency. (To be fair, the Puebla State Branch of the Mexican National Preparatory Committee for Commemorating the Centenary of Birth of President Kim Il Sung was inaugurated, so it's a busy news day for them.)
But a possibly purposely timed article takes aim at South Korean President Lee Myung Bak's insistence that North Korea pursue denuclearization as a precondition for reunification:
The chief executive of south Korea during his recent foreign trip pulled up the DPRK, letting loose such foolish remarks about "complete abandonment of nuclear program" and "responsible attitude". He made no scruple of making such arrogant remarks that "the north's insistence on its stand would only bring bigger damage to it" and that "only the south-north summit for achieving denuclearization is possible.[...]
Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a signed commentary brands these reckless remarks of the south Korean puppet group as an intolerable mockery of the whole Korean nation desirous of improved relations between the north and the south and blatant challenge and provocation against the DPRK.
Ridiculing the shameless remarks of the south Korean authorities as scream of those who were driven to a tight corner inside and outside, the commentary goes on:
The six-party talks would have already resumed and the inter-Korean relations not been driven to such acute phase of confrontation as now if the south Korean authorities had not fabricated the anti-DPRK plots and not resorted to sanctions and military provocations against the DPRK in league with outside forces. Nevertheless, the south Korean authorities tried to convince the public that the responsibility for the situation rests with the DPRK. This is the culmination of shamelessness.
They have no qualification to talk about "abandonment of nuclear program" and "change of attitude". The balderdash of the south Korean authorities revealed their anti-reunification intention to stand in confrontation with the DPRK to the last while denying dialogue and cooperation.
Got that?
...Don, who needs you? There's already an Internet Bot to generate random North Korean defensiveness...

""You bellicose political dwarf, you would be well advised to behave with discretion!""
I mean, do you think the problem is actually in the *translations*?... as opposed to the *batshit stuff they're actually saying*?
""[That is] a far-fetched assertion that could be made only by a wicked confrontation maniac and a despicable disturber of dialogue!!!""" (see below)
If you can't make fun of the rhetorical M.O. of the DPRK, you can't make fun of anything at all. (But maybe that is your problem. Totalitarians & their fans are not famed for their sense of humor... i think it gets in the way of righteous indignation )
...The DPRK even use 'Balderdash' as a verb sometimes. Inventive! It's sort of like Marty Martel's fascination with 'mollycoddling' and 'bamboozling'; some foreigners love to latch onto 1-2 funny-sounding words in English and then just use them whenever possible. There must be a list of approved expressions in the DPRK state-run media, and any article is simply a matter of slapping them all together in a different order, and changing the date. You have to appreciate the epic quality of their run-on sentences...

""Puppet Minister of Unification's Anti-Reunification Outbursts Slammed ""
Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- Puppet Minister of Unification Hyon In Thaek was recently reported to have blustered in a lecture that "it was impossible to have stable development of the inter-Korean relations" without the "settlement of the nuclear issue", prattling that how to kick off the dialogue between the north and the south is more important than when to start it.
Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:
What this traitor uttered once again disclosed the ulterior intention of the conservative group to persistently stand against the inter-Korean dialogue and any process to improve the relations between the north and the south under the pretext of the nuclear issue. This is a brazen-faced mockery and blatant challenge to the public at home and abroad calling for the improved inter-Korean relations and a switchover in the policy of escalating the confrontation with the DPRK.
It is preposterous for Hyon to raise the settlement of the nuclear issue as a precondition for mending the inter-Korean relations whenever an opportunity presents itself.
The commentary explains the reason why there is no connection between the nuclear issue and the issue of the inter-Korean relations.
His balderdash that "it is impossible to have stable development of the inter-Korean relations" without the settlement of the nuclear issue is no more than a far-fetched assertion that could be made only by a wicked confrontation maniac and a despicable disturber of dialogue, the commentary says, and goes on:
The above-said reckless remarks made by Hyon are intended, in the final analysis, to divert elsewhere the accusing fingers pointed to the conservative group and seek a pretext for denying the dialogue.
It is by no means fortuitous that the working talks for resuming the tour of Mt. Kumgang are delayed.
If the inter-Korean relations are to make truly stable development, it is necessary for south Korean authorities to put an end to the policy of escalating the confrontation with compatriots and eliminate such confrontation maniacs as Hyon In Thaek, its wicked architect and executor.
The inter-Korean relations can never be saved from catastrophe as long as this confrontation maniac is allowed to stand in the way of improving the inter-Korean relations.
yea, What this traitor uttered once again disclosed the ulterior intention of the conservative group to persistently stand against the inter-Korean dialogue and any process to improve the relations between the north and the south under the pretext of the nuclear issue...

...but dammit, it still wins :) It would have been funnier with 'prattling' maybe.
Especially considering that inter-Korean dialogue is being done with artillery right now.
Perhaps he should have pointed out the advantages of a nuclear powered unified Korea. At least the North wouldn't have to rely upon international heating oil donations to keep thier people from freezing to death.
But I digress, the reason Korea is in the situation it is in is because there are morons on everyside. If we have stopped short of the Yalu River the Chinese may not have even gotten involved. Now that GW pissed everybody off, were going to have to start all over.
