" SEOUL, South Korea—Punching their fists into the air and shouting "Let's crush them!" some 100,000 North Koreans packed Pyongyang's main square Thursday for an anti-U.S. rally as the communist regime promised a "fire shower of nuclear retaliation" for any American-led attack.
Several demonstrators held up a placard depicting a pair of hands smashing a missile with "U.S." written on it, according to footage taken by APTN in Pyongyang on the anniversary of the day North Korean troops charged southward, sparking the three-year Korean War in 1950.

North Korean troops will respond to any sanctions or U.S. provocations with "an annihilating blow," one senior official vowed—a pointed threat as an American destroyer shadowed a North Korean freighter sailing off China's coast, possibly with banned goods on board.

A new U.N. Security Council resolution passed recently to punish North Korea for conducting an underground nuclear test in May requires U.N. member states to request inspections of ships suspected of carrying arms or nuclear weapons-related material.

In response to the sanctions, the North pulled out of nuclear talks and has ramped up already strident anti-American rhetoric. And the isolated regime may now be moving to openly flout the resolution by dispatching a ship suspected of carrying arms to Myanmar.

While it was not clear what was on board the North Korean-flagged Kang Nam 1, officials have mentioned artillery and other conventional weaponry. One intelligence expert suspected missiles.

The U.S. and its allies have made no decision on whether to request inspection of the ship, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said Wednesday in Washington, but North Korea has said it would consider any interception an act of war.

If permission for inspection is refused, the ship must dock at a port of its choosing so local authorities can check its cargo. Vessels suspected of carrying banned goods must not be offered bunkering services at port, such as fuel, the resolution says.

A senior U.S. defense official said the ship had cleared the Taiwan Strait. He said he didn't know whether or when the Kang Nam may need to stop in some port to refuel, but that the Kang Nam has in the past stopped in Hong Kong's port.

Another U.S. defense official said he tended to doubt reports that the Kang Nam was carrying nuclear-related equipment, saying information seems to indicate the cargo is banned conventional munitions. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to talk about intelligence.

North Korea is suspected to have transported banned goods to Myanmar before on the Kang Nam, said Bertil Lintner, a Bangkok-based North Korea expert who has written a book about leader Kim Jong Il.

Pyongyang also has been helping the junta in Yangon build up its weapons arsenal, a South Korean intelligence expert said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

The two countries have not always been on good terms. Ties were severed in 1983 after a fatal bombing during the South Korean president's visit to Myanmar blamed on North Korean commandoes.

They held secret talks in Bangkok in the 1990s to discuss the lone survivor among the three North Korean commandos involved in the bombing, and since have forged close relations.

The two regimes, among Asia's most repressive, restored diplomatic ties in 2007. Not long after that, in April 2007, the Kang Nam docked at Thilawa port saying it needed shelter from bad weather."

    Hm. Believe everything your government tells you? I thought information from the pentagon was supposed to be a "secret"

    no, but I believe this person.
    and considering there was no specific information given, it's no threat to national security.

    funny really, of all the people I've told that to - only one has thanked me for the reassurance.

    (edit - sorry ash, but since xenon has blocked me, this is how I have to reply. if you don't trust me, then watch any news network that says exactly the same thing. it's up to you to trust information or not.)

    Because no one has attacked us with nukes.

    Well I can see that since we're all not dead but if someone threatens to hurt our country we need to take immediate action.
    I'm really getting tired of explaining this.

    Sticks and stones.... We are irresponsible to take military action because some nutcase runs his mouth.

    I'm not trying to insult you, I am however, making my point. True this nutcase hasn't hit us yet but we do need to take precautions in case he does. I don't mean to go bomb them right off the back, but, we need to talk to him and if we aren't getting through then we should be the ones to strike first.

    I believe he is "delusional" and just might try it. I would expect that N.O.R.A.D. and the Pentagon have a contingency plan set up in case a "nuke(s)" is/are launched.



    I just hope Iran doesn't try to jump on the wagon with them...

    If he where smart he would coordinate his attach with opening of the remake to the movie "Red Dawn" that way he would get more press coverage...

    Well excuse me for living. I simply asked what are we supposed to do ? It was a question and I in no way referred that I knew it all ! However, I would hit the launching pads, all of them, AT ONCE. I think it must be done, or our children won't have a country to live in.

    You're right about failure.The last test was a failure. However, since they have been removed as a terrorist nation we have been doing trade with them. I know of a product that is made here in the U.S. that North Korea is buying in bulk. It makes totally no sense.

    Maybe he will UPS them to some Aggies with a button that says press here...

    I would love if when he launched his toys they detonated seconds after launch...that way they would be gone, he would be gone, we would still be here and we wouldn't have to do anything and it will almost all be good. Just hope it's not a windy day for the Japanese sake.

    The question is: Will Obama let them? If all they need is someone to let them, Obama is the right man for them. The wrong man to keep america safe.
