Yahoo! News - N.Korea Vows to Double Deterrent if No U.S. Change
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea threatened on Saturday to double the size of its nuclear deterrent if the United States did not drop what Pyongyang sees as a confrontational policy aimed at unseating the communist leadership there.

On Friday, North Korea set three conditions to be met before it would consider returning to six-party talks on its nuclear programs, including Washington ditching its "hostile policy."

"If the U.S. persistently pursues its confrontational hostile policy toward the DPRK from the viewpoint of escapism, it will only compel the DPRK to double its deterrent force," the newspaper said. DPRK is short for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Bush diplomacy in action. Piss off the people with the nukes, good idea. Granted, North Korea is always flapping their gums about something, but "tough talk" is not going to work with their megalomaniac dictator, and George's cowboy attitude might drive him to do something that could potentially kill millions of people. Think about that on Nov. 2nd.
