BBC:
The US has denounced North Korea for threatening a "sacred war" against the South, whose military has been holding live-fire drills near the border.
The state department's Philip Crowley told the BBC there was no justification for Pyongyang's "belligerent words".
In a day of rising tension, Seoul and Pyongyang traded strong rhetoric, with the South warning of a "powerful response" to any attack from the North.
...
Kim Yong-chun, quoted by state news agency KCNA, said the North was "getting fully prepared to launch a sacred war of justice", and also threatened to use a "nuclear deterrent".
...
A deterrent is not something you use. It is something you have that is supposed to avoid attacks. I have noted before how ridiculous it is for a bunch of atheist to threaten a "sacred war." The rant has become so incoherent that it suggest the North has become frustrated with its inability to intimidate the South Koreans.
