N Korea on 'brink of nuclear war' with US
North Korea has issued its latest pronouncement in its diplomatic stoush with
the United States, saying it is on the brink of nuclear war with the US.
Pyongyang has dismissed the recent multilateral talks on the region as
fruitless.
The Korean Central News Agency says Washington is "driving the Korean peninsula
to the brink of a nuclear war".
It argues Pyongyang has no choice but to step up its push for nuclear weapons.
In February, six nations, including North Korea and the United States, held
talks in Beijing.
Pyongyang is describing the negotiations as "fruitless" and blaming Washington
for the lack of progress.
US Vice-President ***** Cheney is about to begin a tour of the region.
The nuclear crisis will be high on his agenda.

somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I
owe anybody an explanation."
