N. Korea, Without the Rancor- Political Manipulation
When would a businessman say
“Call me Mr. Anonymous”
when his job is to
Maybe when Mr. Anonymous is talking to a real honest to goodness main stream meida reporter with real credentials none the less…..
So, in an effort to clear up misunderstandings, he expounded on the North Korean view of the world in an informal conversation that began one night this week over beer as North Korean waitresses sang Celine Dion in the karaoke restaurant, and resumed the next day over coffee.
Now this is really important…
The North Korean, dressed in a cranberry-colored flannel shirt and corduroy trousers,
But this was not important in a communist country. I call bull shit!!!
described himself as a businessman with close ties to the government. He said he did not want to be quoted by name because his perspective was personal, not official.
Unless the government wants them Mr. Anonymous to talk…
Because North Koreans seldom talk to U.S. media organizations, his comments offered rare insight into the view from the other side of the geopolitical divide.
By lieing about the compliance with the treaty that NK agreed to…
“Now that we are members of the nuclear club, we can start talking on an equal footing. In the past, the U.S. tried to whip us, as though they were saying, ‘Little boy, don’t play with dangerous things.’ “
Where is the quote to back this up…I bet there was no bias there and the editorial review that checked this out as well. Did this come from Mr. Anonymous?
The North Koreans said they were keenly attentive to the language used by Bush administration officials in regard to their country.
Without living up to the agreement they want the US to bow down to them…
“We were hoping for change from the U.S. administration. We expected some clear-cut positive change,” the North Korean said. “Instead, Condoleezza Rice immediately committed the mistake of calling us an outpost of tyranny. North Koreans are most sensitive when they hear that kind of remark.”
For a simple business man Mr. Anonymous sure knows a lot about the huge divide in the nations involved.
“If we sort out the problems with America, everything else will fall into place. The problems with Japan can easily be sorted out,” he said.
the deep thoughts of the simple business man Mr. Anonymous
“People are just trying to live a normal life.”
This is the biggest blow of smoke from the LA Times in many days….
