North Korea? CNN? US Troops?

Well, it's spreading around MSN Messenger like wildfire... I really doubt it's true, so I came here to find out, here's the message:

A screenshot was taken of www.cnn.com... today bearing the headline 'American Troops Land on North Korea' -- This headline was almost immediately removed but can be seen here. ( www.daku.info... ) We have reason to believe the government forced CNN and other news agencies to take down this story. Tell your contacts! Fight for what is right!

Other questions:

- Is anyone else getting a timeout? Pic won't show for me.
- Could this be a prelude to the 2005 civil war?
- Where and who did this originate from?
- Is there any truth to this AT ALL?

Again, I don't believe it, but until someone tells me the author just decided to play with MS Paint, I'm not gonna be happy.

yah, no pic load, error.

we better hope like hell it ISN'T true....

Well, I'm not told much when it comes to what's going on with the rest of the Army, but since I am stationed in South Korea, not entirely too far from the DMZ, and I've been up to the DMZ a time or two, this is something I think I would have heard about by now. I think we may have some special forces or whatever slinking around up in North Korea, but nothing that anyone would know about, and nothing that hasn't been going on for many years since the war ended. (although the Korean War is technically not over, all that was signed was a cease-fire.) It's POSSIBLE it happened without me knowing, but I doubt it.

I couldn't see the picture, either.

I doubt its true, most of this stuff isn't (see the "if you send this to 10 people on your contact list, you'll get laid tomorrow" messages), but I thought I'd ask to be sure.

Thanks, An3r. I feel much better seeing an actual military personell confirmation. If anything DOES shake loose, you will tell us... hmm?

If this is true, well world war III may be starting soon

If it is happening then I'll be pissed off because that would mean the Army doesn't tell it's own people who are just a few miles away what's going on. (Not to mention all that other bad stuff, WW3 and whatnot) If I hear anything I'll let y'all know, but I'm going on leave back to the States this week, so I won't be much help then I don't think.

Thanks for keeping us informed. Also I would like to add this seems like a rumor. A dead link to a picture that has no proof of existing

and btw, an3rkist, may you have a safe and speedy return to the good ole US of A...and thanks.
