U.S., World: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sez North Korea has “no friends”

  • There is no place to go for North Korea, they have no friends left that will protect them from the international community’s efforts to move toward denuclearization.
  • Secretary of State Hillary Clinton • In her latest push to get North Korea to denuclearize. As we’re sure you all know, Korea’s off-kilter half has been described as “provocative” in the last few months, and not the kind of “provocative” that Madonna was when she made that book with all the naked photos. And North Korea responded “provocatively” to Clinton, saying she “is by no means intelligent.” Now, if this were a schoolyard fight – and not saying it is – this would be the point we’d expect Clinton, fresh off her elbow injury, to take off her pantsuit jacket and start beating the bloody snot out of the jerk in North Korea who said that. But she wouldn’t do that. Know why? She’s a diplomat. • source
