HuskyCaucasian Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Didnt know where to put this, so I thought I would post it. It made me laugh: A triumphant North Korea on Tuesday broadcast footage of its controversial rocket launch as state press reported Kim Jong-Il wept tears of regret that the money it cost could not have been used to help his people. The footage seen on South Korean TV showed a three-stage white rocket, bearing the word "Chosun" (Korea), soaring away from the launch site and into the sky. "Chants of jubilation are reverberating throughout the country on the news that our satellite is beaming back the 'Song of General Kim Il-Sung' and the 'Song of General Kim Jong-Il,'" the ruling communist party paper Rodong Sinmun said, referring to the North's founding president and his son. It reported that Kim Jong-Il "felt regret for not being able to spend more money on the people's livelihoods and was choked with sobs." "Our people will still understand," it quoted him as saying.
