AP news report today:
"North Korean spokesman Ri Tong Il told reporters at the conference in Hanoi that the [joint military] exercises [this weekend by the USA and South Korea] would be 'another expression of hostile policy against' North Korea." He said there will be a "physical response" against the threat imposed to North Korea by the United States militarily. Mr. Ri spoke at the Southeast Asia regional security forum in Hanoi, Vietnam.
I may be able to meet Kim Jong Il after all.
