By I would really like to know how anyone can possibly know this?:
The Times of London says the brother-in-law of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is running the Stalinist country.
The British daily said Seoul officials and experts have received intelligence suggesting that Chang Sung Taek, who runs the North’s secret police, is making key decisions while the “Dear Leader” convalesces.
Choi Jin-wook of the Korea Institute for National Unification in Seoul said Chang is in control and is leading North Korea.
Other important figures consulted Chang even when Kim’s helath was fine, and he will probably keep Kim’s policy line even if Kim dies, Choi said.
The Times said Choi declined to describe the source of the information about Chang, saying it is impossible to verify the source independently. [KBS Global]

If true, it signifies a transfer of power from the brain damaged, drooling “great leader”. Could this be the beginning of the end? Watch closely for soon to come infighting, and more than a few Generals being executed for not dusting their portrait of Kim Jong Il.

Much as I’d like to be involved in a good war with them, I think in reality they are imploding from within, and Yes, it will turn into more of a humanitarian effort than anything else…Still??? There is always hope that they will do something stupid to justify the past 60 years or so of standing by to standby to kick their arse.

Who is joking "Clam?"
North Korea needs to be destroyed militarily in it's entirety…if not, those rabidly indoctrinated maniacs will only create more mayhem in the future…either as a criminal syndicate, or as puppets of China. In a S. korean takeover, they would more than have their hands full trying to control a former N.korean masterless army.
You obviously have an attitude problem with this site, judging from your post on other threads, so you if you cannot attack the post & not the poster, then feel free to seek greener pastures.
One line snide personal attacks only show the shallowness of your intellectual capabilities…and your inability to follow the golden rule when blogging, "Never Blog with emotion…"
Easy to to hide behind a computer screen…NOT impressed!

Let me clarify: Anyone who jokes about war as you did is a nut.
