SEOUL: Pyongyang branded US President George W Bush a philistine and a cowboy yesterday after he called North Korean leader Kim Jong-il a tyrant earlier this week. The North’s official KCNA news agency reported a Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying Bush had slandered Kim in Thursday’s comments, in which he also called the country’s reclusive leader, Kim Jong-il, a “dangerous person”. “He (Bush) is a half-baked man in terms of morality and a philistine whom we can never deal with,” KCNA cited the spokesman as saying.

Washington had toned down its rhetoric about the Stalinist state in recent weeks as it tries to revive six-party talks aimed at ending North Korea’ nuclear ambitions. The United States has been worried about a possible North Korean nuclear test. When asked about whether the North can mount a nuclear device on a missile, Bush said it was best to expect the worst from the North’s leader. “There is concern about his capability to deliver a nuclear weapon. We don’t know if he can or not but I think it’s best, when you’re dealing with a tyrant like Kim Jong-il, to assume he can,” Bush said.

Tension was heightened earlier this week when the head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency said North Korea may have mastered the technology for mounting a nuclear warhead on a missile capable of hitting the West Coast of the US. Pyongyang reacted angrily to Bush’s comments. “No one can expect to hear reasonable words from Bush, once a cowboy at a ranch in Texas. His remarks often stun audiences as they reveal his utter ignorance,” the spokesman from Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said. In February, North Korea said it possessed nuclear weapons and was withdrawing from the six-party talks.
