I saw that. I bet that's SOME Thanksgiving dinner at the Il Jong house every year.  :knuppel2:

What's funny is that he said all along he had no interest in running the country.  Makes you wonder why he got off'ed.

He could still know waaaaaaayyyy too much. And might have been talking about it to someone.

South Korean press claims China prefers the victim as successor to Kim Jong Il. (Paranoid?) Kim Jong Un of course is getting rid of him as China is beginning to oppose his nuclear antics.

some more details about the hit from Malaysian news... The perpetrators were non-Korean. They were recruited amateurs and got caught. The North Korean masterminds watched from a nearby cafe and fled the country the same day.  Pretty good planning.

Is that the same story I saw that said the amateurs thought they were participating in a prank show?  They didn't know what they were doing was going to kill the man.  At least that's what I read.

Yup. But I can hardly believe the prank alibi.

Wasn't the same 'prank' previously pulled on others by the suspects, only with actual perfume water? That would support their contention that they were duped. Also, have the authorities figured out what the chemical agent was?

And it seems Leader Kim Jong-Un  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :notworthy: has since killed 5 more officials with an anti aircraft gun (bizarre, but it is Nork). The VX used on his brother seems almost a kindness for KJU... :hide:

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Don't forget the ex-girlfriend he had machine gunned when he broke-up with her. I guess hanging is too mundane for him.  L:-)

Execution via AA auto-cannon seems to be all the rage.

OK, so I'm fascinated by this...

1. Did he put them in an aircraft and shoot them down?
2. Did he launch them in the air one-by-one like skeet and then shoot them?  What happens if you miss?  You launch them again with broken limbs and hope you hit them the second time?
3. Did he just do the boring thing and line them up against a wall and the AA gun was just the closest handy gun?
