Kim Jong Il Sorry About N. Korean Nuke Test

Posted on October 19, 2006

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il expressed regret about his country’s nuclear test to a Chinese delegation and said Pyongyang would return to international nuclear talks if Washington backs off a campaign to financially isolate the country, a South Korean newspaper reported Friday.

“If the U.S. makes a concession to some degree, we will also make a concession to some degree, whether it be bilateral talks or six-party talks,” Kim was quoted as telling a Chinese envoy, the mass- circulation Chosun Ilbo reported, citing a diplomatic source in China.

Kim told the Chinese delegation that “he is sorry about the nuclear test,” the newspaper reported.

The delegation led by State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan met Kim on Thursday and returned to Beijing later that day _ ahead of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s arrival in the Chinese capital Friday. China is viewed as a key nation in efforts to persuade the North to disarm, as it is the isolated communist nation’s main trading partner.

Of course, lets talk about this more! That has solved so much in the past. And…we probably will. I mean, its not like we have any right to question his sincerity on this issue. He’s so sorry that we put sanctions on his country with unanamous support…why doesn’t Washington just back off and stop picking on me?

O.K. enought sarcasm. I think its obvious the pressure of unanimous support on the sanctions, including China, has gotten to this fool and he is simply trying to buy time. What is there to talk about? He’s got nukes and he needs to get rid of them or suffere the consequences. Sorry, but Kim still doesn’t pass the lying scumbucket test. Bush should respond by demanding North Korea to allow UN inspectors in immediately.

Why the sudden backpedal? It seems like only yesterday you were saying that any sanctions would be considered a declaration of war! Kim at Wizbang says it has to be Karl Rove.

Hot Air notes his sincerity and how reasonable he is as well.

Kim is a nut job in progress. He needs a straight-jacket and Thorazine.

Heck, most all his generals need straight-jackets and Thorazine, too.

“I so solly. Preese no take away UN aid money. I plomise not to spend on nukes.” - Kim Jungle.

(Not being rascist or vile or anything, he DOES sound like that.)

“Bush should respond by demanding North Korea to allow UN inspectors in immediately.”

I’m shocked. Don’t you want Our Sainted President to stay the course? After all, it was George W. Bush who told the North Koreans that they could skip the inspections in the first place.
