‘Bush is human trash,’ says N Korea

SEOUL – North Korea hurled invective at US president George W Bush for a second day yesterday, calling him a political idiot and human trash, and said six-party talks on Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions appeared doomed.

A day earlier, a foreign ministry spokesman for the isolated communist state described Bush as a tyrannical imbecile who put Adolf Hitler in the shade and said Pyongyang could see no justification to negotiate with his administration. Six-party working-level talks on the communist North’s nuclear weapons ambitions had been planned for August but have yet to materialise.The September date for more senior talks is also in question, although diplomats note Pyongyang often raises its rhetorical voice before attending talks or compromising.Bush had “hurled malignant slanders and calumnies” against the leadership in Pyongyang, the North’s official KCNA news agency said in a statement, referring to campaign comments made earlier this month that Pyongyang should be required to disarm.”It is the greatest tragedy for the US that Bush, a political idiot and human trash, still remains in the presidential office of the world’s only superpower, styling himself an emperor of the world,” KCNA said.”Had Bush have even an iota of elementary reason, morality and ability to judge reality as a human being, he would have not dared defile the political system of his dialogue partner so malignantly.- Nampa-ReutersSix-party working-level talks on the communist North’s nuclear weapons ambitions had been planned for August but have yet to materialise.The September date for more senior talks is also in question, although diplomats note Pyongyang often raises its rhetorical voice before attending talks or compromising.Bush had “hurled malignant slanders and calumnies” against the leadership in Pyongyang, the North’s official KCNA news agency said in a statement, referring to campaign comments made earlier this month that Pyongyang should be required to disarm.”It is the greatest tragedy for the US that Bush, a political idiot and human trash, still remains in the presidential office of the world’s only superpower, styling himself an emperor of the world,” KCNA said.”Had Bush have even an iota of elementary reason, morality and ability to judge reality as a human being, he would have not dared defile the political system of his dialogue partner so malignantly.- Nampa-Reuters
