May 2012

whether the soldiers actually parachuted in or not, doesn't matter. N. Korea is so paranoid that they will not use their limited resources to try and figure out whether this story is true or not.

what I find interesting is what advantage does this give to the US and SK?

It could just be a poke in the side to see how the new fearless leader reacts.

Frankly, I have begun to believe that the new Kim is nothing more than a glorified ribbon cutter. The military has been in control since day one of the new regime and may have been the real power during the last.
