North Korea Lashes Out at U.S. Official

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Pyongyang called a senior American official ``human scum'' for criticizing North Korea's leader, but the reclusive nation said it would still join U.S.-proposed multilateral talks on its suspected development of nuclear weapons.

The United States, meanwhile, said Sunday it was committed to finding a diplomatic solution to the nuclear standoff and was not trying to end communist leader Kim Jong Il's rule.

North Korea said that it won't deal with U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton because he described the North's leader as a ``tyrannical dictator'' and said ``life is a hellish nightmare'' for many North Koreans.

Bolton is a psychopathic moron.. he must shoot up cowshit and testosterone like a junky..

the guy was a criminal in the previous Bush junta was he not?

all of the citizens enjoy a life of brisk employment and fine health care.

John Bolton has a history, having accused Cuba of making bio-weapons just days before Carter was to leave for Cuba. The US State Dept at this time is more dishonest and evil than any I have seen in my 62 years!

It seemed pretty embarrassing for the U.S. and Carter, at the time. So why is this guy still around? I know I'm wasting my breath. Bush* has brought back so many of the Reagan hard-liners that his father threw out.

I remember the night of the 2000 presidential election. I was watching CBS and Bob Scheiffer made the observation that Bush* would be obligated to put together a true bi-partisan administration because he did not have a mandate. Hell, he didn't even get a majority of the votes!

I haven't been following this for that long, but agree with you 100%! When is someone going to wake up and call these guys on their inconsistencies and blatant lies?!!!!:grr:
