Remember 2004, when OBL came out with a tape just before the vote, and all the pundits agreed that this would help Bush—as if OBL wouldn’t have been able to figure that out?

Looks like Kim Jong Il is trying to help Bush out this year. AP:

South Korea - Satellite images indicate
North Korea appears to be getting ready for a second nuclear test, officials said Tuesday, as the defiant communist regime held huge rallies and proclaimed that U.N. sanctions amount to a declaration of war.

Now, why would Kim Jong Il want Bush to win?

Could it be that Dear Leader knows Bush is a terrible negotiator? Since the Agreed Framework, with its mandatory inspections, actually worked, and Bush’s approach has been feckless and fucked?

NOTE A dictator tries to game the US election returns? Well, it worked for Bush in 2004!
