What to do now
What to do now that a real issue arises and our military is spread on 2 fronts thanks to GWB desire to be a wartime president. This guys ****ups will haunt us forever.

Fortunately and ironically we don't need the military under the current administration. Instead we'll put our collective heads in the sand once again, just like we did when N. Korea torpedoed the S. Korean ship or when the President of Iran declared he was going nuclear. Or when he was going to fire a missle over Hawaii.
See under this Presidency there are good N. Koreans that trump all and we can't take the chance we may kill or inconveinance them. In other words until we have a new President South Korea is all alone. Maybe we could send some TSA agents to pat them down? |
dell don't you think we are spread a little thin? Have we ever in history had 3 wars raging simulatenously.... What would you do considering another war will really put us at risk to defend ourselves to an attack at home.

I can however see a whacko muslim or asian in pajamas try something. Currently we are incapable of stopping unarmed mexicans from invading. Doubt we'd have any better luck with invading armed forces. |

While I guess the Russians are always a threat, I really just don't see a scenario in the near future that would lead to an attack/war. Almost as, if it didn't happen in the 80's, it isn't going to happen now. |
I'm scared to death right now.

As an aside, did you see where England warned Bush he might not want to go there to promote his book, considering he admitted in the book he approved something defined internationally as torture and there would be threat of arrest? If the GOP blocks the START treaty for political hay as it looks like they will, we're completely screwed as far as international respect goes. Russia doesn't worry me, and China really neither - but yeah, you get a North Korea pushing the edge and there it is. |

"There are myriad actions the U.S. is discussing with allies, including action at the United Nations Security Council and further sanctions. No decisions have been made yet, the consultation process is in the “initial stages.” One possibility we may see in the coming days: more joint US-South Korea military exercises, to demonstrate solidarity and support." So excercises and don't say it FURTHER SANCTIONS :eek: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpu...e-in-comi.html I just hope N. Korea doesn't have tape of Obama throwing a baseball |

God forbid we ever get attacked. I can see it now, "we are in the initial stages of consultation." |
Quote:
"The president called on China, in particular, to rebuke North Korea. He declined to comment on possible U.S. military action, saying only that South Korea is "one of our most important allies" and "a cornerstone of U.S. security in the Pacific region." " "Briefing reporters earlier in the day, Deputy White House Press Secretary Bill Burton described Mr. Obama has being "outraged" by North Korean actions on Tuesday, adding that the United States "stands shoulder to shoulder" with South Korea and that it is fully committed to South Korea's defense." |

And does China rule N. Korea or does that little pajama guy? |

So N. Korea is now Bush's fault? The idea that the US is "stretched" too thin to respond to an outbreak of hostilities in Korea is laughable. Do you really thin that if a full scale war were to break out we would be sending anything other than carriers, planes and cruise missiles? This isnt 1965. We arent sending giant numbers of ground forces into SE Asia regardless of who gets attacked or where our troops are currently located. |

the key to all this is china. unless we can prevail upon that country to try to tamp down n. korea's sudden enthusiasm for war, we won't do a thing. china is their big (only??) ally. if they decide to back n. korea, it'll be a problem. if they don't, n. korea will retreat back into the hole it's crawled out of.

Well the appeal to China didn't work. Instead we have a warning issued.
Personally I think Obama needs to tell S. Korea fight or surrender. But I'm sure he'll issue a 'double important' appeal to China and 'more' needless sanctions for N. Korea. Heck if he's really mad he'll send Hillary to the UN in New York for 1000 star sanctions. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101126/...s_korea_north1 |
Have we tried "Double Secret Probation" yet?

:D....Know your enemies ...:{>:
The Associated Press Thursday, November 25, 2010; 6:44 AM WASHINGTON -- Sarah Palin is drawing criticism from around the world after declaring that the United States has to stand with "our North Korean allies." Palin's gaffe, made Wednesday during an interview on Glenn Beck's syndicated radio show, was quickly corrected by her host. But it drew immediate fire from liberal bloggers, who cited it as an example of the 2008 vice presidential candidate's lack of foreign policy expertise. Newspapers in Asia and Europe are repeating the criticism. The Times of India says Palin "did it again," while London's Daily Mail says she "may want to brush up on her geography." The conservative U.S. website The Weekly Standard came to Palin's defense, pointing out that "she correctly identified North Korea as our enemy literally eight seconds before the mix-up." |
When you listen to the audio tape, it's apparent that Palin still doesn't really understand that North and South are two separate entities. She's just kinda rambling on against Obama.
What nobody notices is that Palin clearly misuses the word "sanctions", too, saying she is afraid Obama won't sanction North Koreas actions! :eek: Palin famously never knew North/South existed in the first place in her 2008 debate training, and doesn't appear to have mastered it since. She's still just a word salad of memorized talking points. |
palin is an ediot..i will move out of the country if that tard gets the gop nod.
|
we need to cut sk loose for some surgical strikes with our help..china will not get involved..they own half of our country and the exports here are in the 40 perc range..why mess with your best customer..or ship palin to north korea

Palin doesn't want to be a policy wonk, let alone President. That's too hard. Palin wants to be famous and important and make money.
Threatening to run for office, getting office space in Iowa, her pal Rupert buying her book deals, a reality show, and appearances on Faux News, keeps her in the public eye as a pseudo-political pundit/reality star. Rupert is the only reason Palin is still in the public eye after 2008. Her foray into real political endorsement shows how useless and unrespected she is as a politician, even in her own state (Joe Miller) Karl Rove and Barbara Bush have already put Palin in her place regarding the world of politics. The GOP doesn't even need Palin to "rally the base", they have Huckabee for that (he beats out Palin with religious conservatives). Shiat, even a Fox News crew was caught on-tape laughing at Palin. Palin exists as Ruperts puppet toy. He pulls her string, she spouts anti-whatever, go god! go America!, she makes money, he makes money, it's all good. If she dives into politics again, for real, the Iowa caucuses would eat her alive at the onset and she's done, gone back in Alaska forever, no cred at all. Those Iowa caucus folks take being President seriously, and you can't get by them on a wink and a snarky phrase. Palin and Rupert won't risk the gravy train being cut off. As long as she threatens to run for President, people pay attention to her and she's live money. As soon as she announces she's not gonna run, she's done. Rupert alone will have to try and keep her shaking her moneymaker somehow in that case, while the world pays attention to the 2012 election and nobody cares what she thinks any more. Her 15 minutes might be over for good then. |
