Revolutionary Armed Forces Of DPRK Fully Ready To Wipe Out Aggressors

From the (North) Korean Central News Agency:

The revolutionary armed forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are closely following the evermore undisguised moves of the U.S. bellicose forces for aggression and fully ready to deal crushing blows at the aggressors, declared Kim Il Chol, Minister of the People's Armed Forces, in a report made at a national meeting held here today to celebrate the 71st birthday of the heroic Korean People's Army ...

... Recalling that the people's army has grown to be an invincible army equipped with powerful offensive and defensive means capable of defeating any formidable enemy at one swoop, relying on the independent and modern national defence industry, he called on the servicepersons to always keep themselves ready to mercilessly crush the aggressors in any unexpected situation.

That sounds a good deal like similar boasting coming from a certain former member of the axis of evil...

I take comfort in what seems to be an inverse relation between blood-n-guts rhetoric and actual combat capability. I'm looking forward to the day when we bomb that fat little maniac Elvis impersonator right out of his ridiculous disco jumpsuit.

...to always keep themselves ready to mercilessly crush...

why always mercilessly? why not professionally?

"to always keep themselves ready to mercilessly crush"

Perhaps using multiple split infinitives in the same sentence is part of their strategy to demoralize us through the destruction of the English language.

Oh, great. Now when we go to war we'll be seeing "No Blood for Grammar" signs.

Timothy and Cynic are right...

It's Mohammed Saeed Kim Il Chol

"You are too far from reality. There are NO Iraqis anywhere in Pyongyang. They have suicided under the Great Wall."

Stephen, you put it wrongly... "Their intenstines will be burning as they throw themselves against the walls of the DMZ". And of course, you'd be referring to Komical Kim.
