SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea on Saturday called U.S. President George W. Bush a "hooligan" and said it expected no solution of the international standoff over its nuclear program during the Bush administration.
The comments by North Korea's Foreign Ministry spokesman followed a White House news conference on Thursday at which Bush described North Korean leader Kim Jong Il as a "tyrant" and a "dangerous person."
"Bush is a hooligan bereft of any personality as a human being ... and a philistine whom we can never deal with," the ministry spokesman said Saturday, according to North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency.
North Korea "does not expect any solution to the nuclear issue or any progress in (North Korea)-U.S. relations during his term," the unnamed spokesman said.
"Bush is, indeed, a world dictator whose hands are stained with the blood shed by innocent civilians," he said.
The six-nation talks on persuading North Korea to curb its nuclear ambitions -- involving the two Koreas, United States, China, Japan and Russia -- have been stalled since last June after three inconclusive rounds.
North Korea has already said it will stay away from the nuclear talks until Washington apologizes for comments by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in which she described the communist state one of the world's "outposts of tyranny."
Resuming the talks gained urgency in February when North Korea said it had developed nuclear weapons and would boycott the talks indefinitely. The North has since threatened to increase its nuclear arsenal and has demanded that the United States drops what it calls a hostile policy.
"Over more than four years since Bush's inauguration (North Korea) has shown utmost magnanimity and patience," the North Korean spokesman said Saturday. "It can no longer do so, waiting for any shift in the U.S. policy."
Washington has repeatedly said it has no intention of invading the communist state.

Though the statement is hypocritical, they hit the nail right on the head.

Really quite ironic, although in a scary way and Kim Jong II is a bit more than a hooligan.

Kim Jong Il is many things, but the word hooligan never came to my mind as one of them. He's definately unstable, and in control of an entire nation of brainwashed people. As for Bush, I'd tend to disagree on the actual definaition of "hooligan" applying to him. North Korea's government is likely the least qualified in the world to be name-calling, in any case.
