NORTH Korea has hit back at comments by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, describing her in an unusually personal attack as not intelligent and a "funny lady".

N. Korea Escalates War of Words, Calls Clinton Vulgar, Unintelligent
PHUKET, Thailand, July 23--The war of words between North Korea and the United States escalated Thursday, with North Korea's Foreign Ministry lashing out at Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in unusually personal terms for "vulgar remarks" that it said demonstrated "she is by no means intelligent."
Clinton, who earlier this week likened North Korea to an unruly child, has rallied international isolation of North Korea at a 27-member regional security forum here. She met with her Russian, Chinese, South Korean and Japanese counterparts -- the other key partners in suspended six-nation disarmament talks--and won strong statements of support from many delegations.

Clinton Declares North Korea Without 'Friends'
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says North Korea "has no friends left" that will protect it from international punishments for its nuclear activities.
Clinton told Asia's largest security forum in Thailand Thursday the international community is united in its efforts to force North Korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons program.
Clinton said the U.S., Russia, China, Japan and South Korea are still ready to offer economic and diplomatic incentives if Pyongyang commits to an "irreversible" path towards denuclearization.
But North Korean spokesman Ri Hung Sik dismissed the incentives as nonsense and declared the six-party disarmament talks "dead."
