SEOUL, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has life-threatening pancreatic cancer, a news report said Monday, days after fresh images of him looking gaunt spurred speculation that his health was worsening following a reported stroke last year.
The 67-year-old Kim was diagnosed with the cancer around the time he was felled by the stroke last summer, Seoul's YTN television reported, citing unidentified intelligence officials in South Korea and China.
The report cited the officials saying the disease is "threatening" Kim's life.
Pancreatic cancer is usually found in its final stage, and considering Kim's age, he is expected to live no more than five years, the report said.

So, could this be the reason of him, basically, not caring about consequences for his actions? Or is he now, just a figurehead to the country and really not doing any work.

A crazy self promoting blow hard that never does anything is what we got.
What we get could be much worse.

I'm still rooting for the pancreas.

Rumors have been going around like this lately... rationale for the saber-rattling

N. Korea's mentality has always been like that, though. Over the top.

Assuming the North Koreans aren't ****ing with us,

that's a bad way to go, right?
