A Baghdad Bob Protégé?
This could get me into the whole North Korean thing a little more. Some guy named Kim Myong Chol is acting as a propagandist for the country. And he's almost as good as denying reality as Bobby was.
I love his claim of a "minimum of 100 nuclear warheads, maximum 300." I understand that we believe there may be a couple of warheads, but nothing on the order of 100. Even the CIA couldn't miss that many! His claim that "they all lock onto American cities," is another beautiful spin. Does he think that we're really going to believe that out of 300 warheads, not one is locked on their mortal enemies in Seoul?
His bluster does bear out, however, that the current economic sanctions against Pyongyang are working. If they have some puffed up wannabe diplomat out spouting threats for the regime, they must be in a world of hurt. The next step will be an official spokesman attempting fear mongering. And then, we will see either total internal economic collapse or all out war against South Korea. In any event, the endgame has begun for Pyongyang.
His assertations that the Australians are wrong in saying that they seized a member of the North Korean ruling party on a drug ship are pretty cute, too. For some reason I think that if they Aussies say they nailed this guy, they probably nailed him. But in defiance of reality, he denies, denies, denies.
This is now starting to get good. I wonder just how much of Baghdad Bob rubbed off on this guy?
