Abe may harden Japanese stance against NORKs

Shinzo AbeIf North Korea expecting relations with Japan to get better when Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi steps down as Prime Minister in September, they may be mistaken.

According to reports, Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe, who is far and away the front runner to fill the post of prime minister, is considering even tougher measures against the NORKS than those imposed Koizumi.

As prime minister, Abe would boost the power of a government task force on the abductions and push ahead with new measures for economic sanctions in cooperation with the ruling coalition parties, the sources said.

They said these plans would represent a policy shift from Koizumi’s “dialogue and pressure” against North Korea to one stressing “pressure.”

Abe is reportedly considering a tougher approach in response to NORK defiance against Japan during Koizumi’s reign.

“Norks:
Breasts. Australian slang. Derived from the prominent udders on the cow used to advertise Norco, New South Wales’ North Coast Dairy.”

Just for the record.

So you’re basically saying Japanese men go hard at the sight of Korean breasts? That’ll give the rightists something else to complain about, not giving the J-female anatomy enough respect.
