(CNN) — North Korea vowed Friday not to dismantle its nuclear program — not even in exchange for economic aid — as long as the United States continues a “hostile policy.”
“It was none other than the U.S. that pushed [North Korea] to acquiring nuclear deterrence and it is, therefore, wholly to blame for the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula,” the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
North Korea will never abandon its nuclear program, “even if the earth is broken to pieces unless the hostile policy towards [North Korea] is rolled back and the nuclear threat to it removed,” the agency said.
The United States believes that North Korea has enough weapons-grade plutonium to build a half dozen nuclear bombs.
The reclusive Communist nation last year cut off six-party talks involving the United States, China, South Korea, Japan and Russia, in anger over international criticism of its nuclear and missile tests.

Lupe talked to THE AGE in Australia, mainly discussing the conflicts he is/was going through with his label. Check it out below.
Historically, there has been a conflict between the music Lupe wants to create and the music his label wants him to make.
Lupe: ”It’s less about me being a celebrity, because I guess I’m not really a celebrity,” he says. ”The most difficult part of the music business is the label.”
“What I want to do and what they want me to do – creatively – is in conflict. It doesn’t keep me up at night. I look at it as a challenge. It’s not meant to be easy.”
“There’s a misunderstanding with my fanbase,” he says. ”People [at Warner] feel they know my fans more than I do.
They want me to step out of my comfort zone and step into theirs. I don’t have necessarily the celebrity success they want me to have but it’s more social success and being able to speak at a college about world affairs. That’s a success, to me.
I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show. It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem, as opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”
Lupe’s third album for Warner, Lasers, was submitted last month. The label has yet to announce a release date. ”It’s an album we both feel comfortable putting out,” Lupe says. ”I’m somebody saying the things that maybe 98 per cent of the music industry is not.”

Gov. Paterson has 99 problems — and Jay-Z might be one of them.
The governor’s friendship with the hip-hop impresario is raising questions because of the latter’s involvement with AEG, the consortium controversially selected to run a multibillion-dollar racino at Aqueduct Racetrack.
Paterson’s bond with the man born Shawn Carter was growing at the same time that Jay-Z was being courted to join the Aqueduct Entertainment Group.
Paterson tabbed AEG in late January to turn the aging track into a slick gaming venue with 4,500 video slot machines.
But the deal is under federal investigation after questions were raised about the secret selection process.
Last Aug. 31, Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé, shared a podium with Paterson to announce that Jay-Z would stage a 9/11 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden.
