North Korea to Head UN Conference ... on Disarmament

This time around, the U.N has appointed North Korea, with its nuclear ambitions, to chair of the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. You read that correctly. A conference on disarmament is being chaired by a country bent on developing its own nuclear weapons arsenal. Given the U.N.'s history of dubious appointments, however, this may not come as a suprise.

Who's the co-chair? Iran?

Not surprisingly, the chairmanship was praised by an Iranian delegate who assured Pyongof the Iranian delegation would give North Korea its "full support and cooperation."

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
