South Korea is in an unenviable situation at the moment, just when it seemed that relations with the North were improving every so slightly, word comes that the Nork's are bussy shipping their suppousedly dismantled nuke program to Syria.  What could be worse than this on the eve of the second Korean summit beteween the leaders of the North and South?  The South Korean Forgein minister making a fool of himself.

From the Korea Times:

     South Korean Foreign Minister Song Min-soon on Monday dismissed recent reports of alleged nuclear
cooperation between North Korea and Syria, saying no one has any concrete evidence to prove the allegation.

     Song also pointed to conflicting reports on the level of cooperation between the countries.

     "If Syria received nuclear materials from North Korea, it must have a facility to store the nuclear material, but as far as I know, Syria does not have any nuclear (storage) facility," Song told reporters.

Foreign Minister Song Dismisses Reports on Alleged NK-Syria.

     I feel the need to remind the South Korean government of Mark Twain's sage advice. "Better not to speak and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."
