    If you can go by what the KCNA puts out they declared the armistice over some time back. Of course they have been known to do that one more than one occasion. But with NK I don't think anyone outside of their inner circle knows what is going on. And even they may not.

    Wait, wait... who said torpedo back at the beginning? Could it be the resident submariner and all-around good-looking guy?? (Okay, maybe one out of two).

    (Heh. I'd love being right about this one except that the situation could go to crap quickly. Those NKor guys are nutjobs.)

    The money quote from one of the military blogs I read is 'Stand by for civilian casualties on a scale unseen since WW2.' Sobering.

    yes, but also, don't forget "stand by for a "there will be peace in our time" moment immediately preceding said civilian casualties"
