Kim Jong Il has died!

Wonder if his replacement will have the need to prove himself?

Oh well...His son is probably worse

Kind of what I'm thinking neck...Uday and Kusay(spelling?) ring a bell?

I always figure the devil you know is better....

According to released CIA reports I read several months ago, the CIA suspected that he would die soon, there would be a military junta and a revolution in N. Korea that would lead to reunification. Lets see if they were right. This just happened, will see in the next few days if his son gets in or the military takes over, if the military takes over we might see another border fall in our lifetime.

I wonder if he'll deliver a message for me when he gets to hell? I just want him to find bin Laden, Sadam and Hitler and tell them I said "sup?" and do the thug nod for me

Really couldn't have happened to a better person

Yes, let the joyous news be spread The wicked Old Witch at last is dead!
Better the devil you know is true but there can't be worse than him. I don't think his sons have the stomach for a war in which they will be target #1.

i hope he gets the pineapple treatment like hitler did in little nicky

If N. Korea is any thing like the old USSR, the little guy with the really bad hair (wonder if he and Trump are related) has probably been dead for sometime, so that way power can be transferred long before the general public knows about it.

Can't say that I'll miss the Little bas***d, he can rot in HELL along with all the other dead dictators.

I bet his successor will be worse then he ever was, as he was worse then his father.

I dont know if any of you have seen the National Geo special on this guy, but the Government of N. Korea truly has their people brainwashed. An undercover crew went in with permission to follow an American medical crew who was there to treat people who were blinded by severe cataracts due to malnutrition. WHat N. Korea didnt know was Nat Geo had sent them along to see how well the Government was really liked. Every house they went to and every family worshipped this guy. His picture hung all over in every household. Every last single aspect of their lives was "Thanks to our dear leader" or "Thanks to our great General". The American surgeons were doing the surgery en masse, there were large groups of people outside the operating room waiting with their families. As soon as the surgery was over for each patient they could see again. But they never thanked a single doctor. As soon as they could see they would run out to the waiting area, fall to their knees and thank the Dear Leader for restoring their vision in front of a picture of him and everyone there would do the same and clap. The adults seemed really brainwashed, they interviewed some 12 year old girl gymnasts who spewed the dear leader crap but didnt seem like they really meant it. Seemed like normal kids. And their hatred for the U.S., every one of them, kids and adults was unbelievable. They blamed the U.S. for everything. When asked if they knew the U.S. was sending food to keep them from starving, they refused to believe it. The "Dear Leader" is who brought them food.

I think this was Nat Geo but it might also have been Frontline. I watch them both. Its available on Netflix streaming.

I'd not call it "Brainwashing" so much as "Big Brother is Watching". I bet everyone over there keeps an eye on their neighbor and if they get out of line that neighbor is turned in. Pretty much "CYA", if they don't praise Kim, they will be taken away and either never heard from again or tortured severely.

Same thing happened in Russia, Nazi Germany, Iran, Iraq.......just pick any dictator controlled country and you will see and hear the same thing. The people are afraid for their and their families lives to speak up against the guy in charge.

The fact that the CIA predicts it makes the probability much lower.

They seem to rarely get things right.

I suspect the CIA has joined all of the other politically correct bureaucracies.

+1 on the Big Brother is watching

feel sorry for folks that have to live like that...

Don't wanna see no trouble out of Korea....what I know about the Korea War is that N. Korea is a miserable hell hole...

We never did really whip 'em....Vietnam vets think we forgot...Hell we really forgot the Korean War vets

The first war after WWII that our wonderful politicians ran

It will be interesting to see how this plays out...I saw very little on this on da tube last night...course I don't watch CNN

CNN was probably bowing down and praising him on there last night...

Seems like I've read of Kim's son being a party animal in the press before. Spending up the poor peoples money in other countries. Surely he is not the successor?

I've been hearing Kim Jong ILL Kim Jong ILL but I didn't know he was that ILL

I saw that and I saw where Russia has a new nuke they call Satan. I think we got bad times comming! Can you imagine what the rest of the world thinks of us? We need help ASAP!

J.B.

No telling what's coming out of that country next.
