Yah, was just announced. Some sort of ultimatum (sp?)... didn't say for what.

next time, how about a link and a story? unless of course you'd rather be referred to in the future as a TROLL ?

SEOUL, April 29 (Reuters) - North Korea on Wednesday threatened to conduct a nuclear test and also to test an intercontinental ballistic missile unless the U.N. Security Council apologises for imposing sanctions against it.

The North's foreign ministry spokesman, in a statement carried by official KCNA news agency, also demanded the Security Council withdraw all resolutions against the state for previous missile and nuclear tests. The Security Council imposed sanctions on North Korea following a ballistic missile launch in July 2006 and a nuclear test a few months later. It called for those sanctions to be tightened after North fired a long-range rocket early this month. (Reporting by Jack Kim, editing by Jonathan Thatcher)

Poor guys, they just can't get the attention they want. I guess next they will say they will hold their breath until they turn blue.

Maybe you should respect the fact that some people might have seen this on a *television* and may not be able to link you to your eyes. Unless, of course, you'd rather be referred to as an idiot.

I've been a member of this board for almost 2 years. I make an honest effort to help people who have questions and concerns about coming here. I do not and will not ever troll with a story to get attention like countless people do.
Call me nieve for posting this without a link, granted. But a troll? Please Mossehead, you know better then that. Take a look at my posting history and tell me how I'm a troll. If I wanted to get some reactions I would have obviously made it more extravagant in details.

That's exactly what happened. I'm next to my television and they reported it. But I'm a troll so don't mind me. Rolling Eyes

Oh, please. As if this ultimatum is any different from all the other bullshit "ultimatums" they've made over the years.

You figure it's a Boy Who Cried Wolf thing then?
Well, in a way I hope not, because at the end of that story, the wolves really did come and eat everybody.
Or maybe they just ate the boy and his sheep. I guess that would be okay...unless you're one of the sheep...

I seem to remember North Korea made some threat before the satellite launch and then made a completely different threat.

What scares the shit out of me is that, after 2 months at a university in Korea, Kim Jung-Il's behavior has begun to make sense to me...

Took a while, but I finally found a story on this on FoxNews;

Still nothing on CNN online.
