Morning News Roundup

The story dominating the news this morning is North Korea's new response to the joint military exercises planned to begin Sunday. They have declared that "the army and people of the DPRK will start a retaliatory sacred war of their own style based on nuclear deterrent any time necessary in order to counter the U.S. imperialists and the South Korean puppet forces deliberately pushing the situation to the brink of a war." Is this the North Korean version of Jihad? Perhaps.
