North Korea laughs at U.S.

Palin had decided she would be most effective if she stepped down. McCain insisted that Palin is qualified for the highest office in the land. benefits of green tea.

You post to this blog and move on. I asked you a simple direct question. NO RESPONSE.

Don't forget that many actions- while taken as aggressive overtures by us- are many times meant more for home audiences than any other. Other communist/dictatorial countries sometimes go through these machinations when successor questions come about. I wouldn't get too worked up over it just yet.

China has an interest in keeping the situation calm- and the capability to do something about it.

We have to realize the nuanced things that are happening in N Korea and not jump to conclusions. Conventional wisdom on this place is usually wrong- I'd say that nothing that's been in the papers lately has added to the knowledge of the situation. Don't fall for the hype, America!

After many years of exercises, detailed plans, and targeting, North Korea knows their saber rattling and initiation of hostility would see an incredibly effective response. One writer mentioned our troop deployments elsewhere. Consider the US fleet assets, air wings and high readiness and training of our ground forces and those of South Korea. Luis, I doubt if North Korea laughs.

Blockade on platform shoes and khaki jumpsuits. That'l show them.

What's up with that?

I think one of the reasons arguing against military action against N Korea is that our military is stretched too thin to take on another war.

Your chosen president could not be any more of a pansy a#$$%^$ed wuss if he tried. He's made it clear already that his solution to Kim Jong IL is to have the UN write him a really stern letter telling him that they will send him to his room without dessert if he doesn't quit playing with nukes and missiles. What the efffinhell did you expect this madman to do?

Personally I think the person who suggested a little wet work probably has the only workable idea, short of the Chinese deciding to taking care of the problem. Too bad BW doesn't have what it takes to deal with the problem.

Kim Jong Il has been a lying madman for as long as I can remember, but you lousy pacifist libs didn't like anything other than '2 party talks'. Obviously that would have been a total waste of time and effort, and still would. Talking to people who are completely insane and pathological liars too just isn't effective. What did you expect, that Kim Jong IL would join the media in their love fest and fall at Obama's feet to adore him, and in the process turn over their nukes to the UN?

I think we should consider a little selective "wet work" as a solution.

a military response out of the question? You've just painted the picture but took military response off the table. WHY?

I'm not saying we SHOULD, but am interested in why you think that.
