It's all Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Fault

Korea has announced that it does have nuclear weapons, and it has withdrawn from multilateral disarmament negotiations.

North Korea announced for the first time through its state-run media that it has nuclear weapons, and rejected moves to restart disarmament talks any time soon, saying it needs the armaments as protection against an increasingly hostile United States.

Apparently Kim Jong Il got his first look at last summer's Team America: World Police

North Korea's embassy in Prague has demanded that the film "Team America: World Police" be banned in the Czech Republic, saying the movie harms their country's reputation, a report said Saturday.

I guess the song "I'm So Ronery" hit a little too close to home.

(Sorry about the lack of new posts, but I've been - and remain - really busy.)

UPDATE 2/11: Varifrank is taking this announcement very seriously:

It is my opinion, at 1:00 PST On February 11 2005, The War Clock has been wound up and is now ticking away.

There is still some doubt in my mind on which country it will be that first crosses into North Korea, The US or the Chinese. It is my opinion at this point that this can only go one way. North Korea, more specifically the person of Kim Jong Il will have to be removed.
