What's really up with Kim Jong il? Are his accusations of America's military pressure all in his imagination? Speculations? Craziness.

says, "Since launching a series of missiles less than a

Monday's report accused Washington of escalating military pressure on the country with war exercises, a massive arms buildup and aerial espionage by basing new spy planes in South Korea.
"This is a grave military provocation and blackmail to the DPRK, being an indication that the U.S. is rapidly pushing ahead in various fields with the extremely dangerous war moves," the dispatch said.
"The army and people of the DPRK are now in full preparedness to answer a pre-emptive attack with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear war with a mighty nuclear deterrent," the report said.
And former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger cautioned that even so, very serious measures have to be taken to stop North Korea's missile buildup now. In the next decade, he told the Fox News Channel, America will "deeply regret it" if it fails to stop North Korea before its missiles really can slam into Chicago.
