How I wonder where you Were,
Above the world you went not High,
Never to become a diamond in the Sky!
Your announced purpose was a great Lie,
And In The Pacific Your ICBM DID Surely Die,
But most do agree once again you’ll surely Try,

Obama’s being tested and his response is purely Jive,
That Appears As great Weakness In Islamic Jihad Eyes,
Knowing The U.N. Is No More Than A Coward in Disguise!

North Korea has one major export to sustain its pitiful economy, namely its arsenal of death in its developing technology of producing and delivering nuclear warheads on its ICBM’s. Russia, China, and the U.S. will continue to block one another in the United Nations from doing anything about it, while the Middle East turns into a nuclear nightmare by North Korea sharing it’ s nuclear technology with any country willing to pay the price.
This was covered in a 2007 Blog we issued, and one can be sure the process will continue in the midst of dialog, dialog, dialog, dialog, and more dialog as we head for the beginning of the final war of this age, at some point in time between 2010 and 2015. Diplomatic Dialog with believers is the way to go, but to say Diplomatic Dialog with the Devil will work is madness

Unfortunately, our recent agreement with North Korea is not a “Going Out of Business” Sale.
The governmental policies of North Korea led to a famine producing economy. In order to booster their economy they are willing to sell their WMD technology to any country willing to pour out the cash, while at the same time receiving payments from other countries not to do so.
North Korean official to visit Syria
The Associated Press
Updated Saturday, October 13, 2007, 11:30 AM
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) A high-level North Korean official left on Saturday for an overseas trip including a visit to Syria, the North’s state media reported, amid suspicions the two countries might be cooperating on a secret nuclear program.
Choe Thae Bok, speaker of the North’s rubber-stamp parliament, will also visit Italy during the trip, the North’s Korean Central News Agency said in a brief one-sentence dispatch that gave no further details.
The trip comes amid lingering suspicions that North Korea may be providing nuclear assistance to Syria.
North Korea provides missile technology to Syria, but has strongly denied accusations that it spreads its nuclear expertise beyond its borders.
Syria also has denied receiving any North Korean nuclear help.
The two countries accused U.S. officials of spreading the allegations for political reasons.
Andrew Semmel, acting U.S. deputy assistant secretary for nuclear nonproliferation policy, said in September that North Korean personnel were in Syria, and that the Syrian government may have had contacts with “secret suppliers” to obtain nuclear equipment.
Last month, a high-level Syrian delegation visited Pyongyang.
North Korea, which conducted its first-ever nuclear test last October, has been compliant in international talks aimed at dismantling its nuclear program. In July, Pyongyang shut down its sole operating nuclear reactor and pledged earlier this month to disable it by year’s end.

‘Syria raid targeted unfinished reactor’
JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
October 13, 2007
The IAF air strike in Syria last month targeted a partially constructed nuclear reactor which was modeled on a reactor used by North Korea, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
The Times report, which was attributed to American and foreign officials with intelligence access, also alleged that the Bush administration was divided over the decision to carry out an air strike. According to the officials, policymakers did not view the attack as urgent because it would have been years before the Syrians could have used the reac
tor to produce enough nuclear fuel to create bomb-grade plutonium.
Israel has kept the details of the air strike secret, refusing until last week to even confirm that such a mission had been carried out.
Reports said that the strike had been executed in tandem with a ground operation by IDF special forces, which reportedly confiscated weapons-related materials shortly before IAF planes attacked.
A recent article in The Washington Post claimed that the raid came after Israel and the US shared intelligence about possible nuclear weapons developments in Syria. According to some sources, North Korean weapons experts had been in Syria in the months before the raid.
While both Syria and North Korea have denied that they are cooperating on weapons development, representatives of the two nations met recently in North Korea to discuss “strengthening ties.”

N. Korea satellite didn’t reach orbit’
April 5, 2009
Associated Press , THE JERUSALEM POST
The US on Sunday denied North Korea’s claims that it had successfully launched a satellite into space.
It came after the communist nation fired a rocket over Japan, defying Washington, Tokyo and others who suspect the launch was cover for a test of its long-range missile technology.
US President Barack Obama said the move threatens the security of nations “near and far.”
Liftoff took place at 11:30 a.m. (0230 GMT) from the coastal Musudan-ri launch pad in northeastern North Korea, the South Korean and US governments said. The multistage rocket hurtled toward the Pacific, reaching Japanese airspace within seven minutes, but no debris appeared to hit its territory, officials in Tokyo said.
Four hours after the launch, North Korea said an experimental communications satellite reached outer space in just over nine minutes and is orbiting Earth, the state-run Korean Central News Agency said from Pyongyang.
“The satellite is transmitting the melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans ‘Song of Gen. Kim Il Sung’ and ‘Song of Gen. Kim Jong Il’ as well as measurement data back to Earth,” it said, referring to the country’s late founder and his son, its current leader.
But the US military said “no object entered orbit.” North American Aerospace Defense Command and US Northern Command officials said in a statement that the first stage of the rocket fell into the waters between Korea and Japan, while the two other stages, and its payload, landed in the Pacific Ocean.
The launch was a bold act of defiance against Obama, Japanese leader Taro Aso, Hu Jintao of China and others who pressed North Korea in the days leading up to liftoff to cancel a move they said would threaten peace and stability in Northeast Asia.
The UN Security Council approved an emergency session for Sunday afternoon in New York.
“North Korea has ignored its international obligations, rejected unequivocal calls for restraint and further isolated itself from the community of nations,” Obama said in Prague, urging the North to refrain from further “provocative” actions.
He s aid the move w
as a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1718, which prohibits North Korea from conducting ballistic missile-related activities of any kind, and demands an international response.
“North Korea broke the rules once more by testing a rocket that could be used for a long range missile,” Obama said. “This provocation underscores the need for action – not just this afternoon at the UN Security Council, but in our determination to prevent the spread of these weapons.”
In Tokyo, Aso said the launch was “an extremely provocative act that cannot be overlooked.”
China, North Korea’s biggest source of economic aid and diplomatic support, urged all sides to maintain calm and exercise restraint. It offered to play a “constructive role,” though some say it could use its veto power to block a unified response to the launch at the Security Council.
Russia, which shares a border with North Korea, also called for calm. “We urge all states concerned to show restraint in judgments and action in the current situation, and to be guided by objective data on the nature of North Korea’s launch,” a Foreign Ministry statement said.
North Korea says the launch of the “Kwangmyongsong-2” satellite was a peaceful bid to develop its space program.
But the US, South Korea, Japan and others suspect the launch was a guise for testing the regime’s long-range missile technology – a step toward eventually mounting a nuclear weapon on a missile capable of reaching Alaska and beyond.
They contend it violates Resolution 1718, part of efforts to force North Korea to shelve its nuclear program and halt long-range missile tests. The European Union also “strongly” condemned the launch.
Japan’s UN mission immediately requested a meeting of the 15-nation council, spokesman Yutaka Arima said. Mexico, which holds the 15-nation council’s presidency this month, set the meeting for 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT), spokesman Marco Morales said.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he regretted North Korea’s move “against strong international appeal” at a time when nuclear disarmament talks involving six nations remain stalled.
“Given the volatility in the region, as well as a stalemate in interaction among the concerned parties, such a launch is not conducive to efforts to promote dialogue, regional peace and stability,” Ban said in a statement from Paris.
At the United Nations, diplomats have begun discussing ways to affirm existing sanctions on North Korea.
Envoys said permanent council members US, Britain and France are unlikely to secure agreement on new sanctions from veto holders Russia and China. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.
North Korea, which says its participation in a UN space treaty protects its right to send a satellite into orbit, took pains to alert international maritime and aviation authorities of the rocket’s flight path, in marked contrast to 2006, when it carried out a surprise launch.
“Even if a satellite was launched, we see this as a ballistic missile test,” Japan’s chief Cabinet spokesman Takeo Kawamura said.
Japan had threatened to shoot down any debris from the rocket if the launch went wrong, and positioned batteries of interceptor missiles on its coast and radar-equipped ships in its northern seas to monitor the liftoff. Russia also scrambled fighter jets to monitor the launch, while US and South Korea sent warships to nearby waters, reports said.
No attempt at interception was made because no debris fell onto its territory, Japan’s Defense Ministry said.
However, Japan threatened to add more bilateral sanctions onto those it imposed after the July 2006 launch of a similar Taepodong-2 long-range missile that fizzled 42 seconds after takeoff.
South Korea, which technically remains at war with the North because their three-year conflict ended in 1953 in a truce rather than a peace treaty, put its forces on heightened alert.
North Korea, one of the world’s poorest nations, is led with absolute authority by leader Kim Jong Il, who is poised to preside over the first session of the country’s new parliament on Thursday.
The appearance will be his first major public appearance since reportedly suffering a stroke last August.
Amid the controversy over the rocket launch, North Korea announced last week it would put two American reporters detained at the border with China on trial for allegedly entering the country illegally and engaging in “hostile acts.”
Laura Ling and Euna Lee, reporters for former US Vice President Al Gore’s Current TV media venture, were seized by North Korean soldiers on March 17.
