"SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- The United Nations Command in South Korea has described as "unfortunate" an announcement from the North Korean military that it will no longer participate in a weekly cross-border dialogue
The North's announcement Wednesday that it would pull out of the talks comes amid continued tensions with the United States over Pyongyang's alleged nuclear weapons program.

In a statement carried on state media the North also said it would have "no option" but to stop honoring commitments to the 1953 Korean War armistice because of "persistent war moves" by the United States in and around the Korean Peninsula.

Expressing its concern at the North's decision the United Nations Command (UNC) said continued dialogue vital to ease tensions along one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world.

Military officials from both sides of the demilitarized zone dividing North and South Korea have held regular talks at the border village of Panmunjom since the truce was signed there five decades ago.

However, the UNC statement noted that the North's support for dialogue had "fluctuated over the years."

Nonetheless, it said, "North Korea's decision to back away from dialogue at this time is unfortunate."

North Korea cries for attention every once in a while.  When we  finish up this Iraq business, we can deal with them.

Brewing?  

Of course...I have a nice Munich Helles that I just transferred over to a clean carboy for some extended lagering time that tastes just great right now.  Once I get it carbonated and in the bottles its gonna be super.  The gravity is a bit high on it right now but I am still hoping to get it down a point or two in the next couple of weeks.  Of course the original gravity was a point or 2 higher than what I was aiming for so I am not sure if I can get it to drop or not.
