U.S. envoy to Seoul Mark Lippert was seriously injured Thursday morning after being attacked by an armed assailant, official sources said.
The envoy was on his way to attend a morning lecture in central Seoul when the attack took place.
Lippert, bleeding heavily, was rushed to a nearby hospital, the sources said, adding that the suspect was immediately arrested although his or her identity is still not known.
I recently read, here at FR?, that North Korea wanted our troops to stay to rein in South Korea’s military. Also, that much of their protesting joint military exercises was posturing. This was with the current leader’s father. If the man shown above is the attacker, he definitely does not look Asian. Could he be half Korean and half American, a Korean War baby? Children of such mixed parentage often don’t do well in Asia.
MCCAIN GRILLS LIPPERT
The Pentagon’s nominee for assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific security affairs is under fire from Sen. John McCain, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Mr. McCain wrote to Mark Lippert on Nov. 30 to pose very specific questions about whether Mr. Lippert was behind a series of press leaks that sought to undermine retired Marine Corps Gen. James L. Jones when he was President Obama’s national security adviser.
Mr. McCain wrote that a 2010 book by journalist Bob Woodward discussed Mr. Lippert’s relations with Gen. Jones and “offers a disturbing portrayal of your actions that could be described as arrogant and disloyal.”
In the letter, Mr. McCain asked if Mr. Lippert and another National Security Council colleague, Denis McDonough, were known by Gen. Jones as “the Politburo,” “the Mafia” and “the water bugs” because they had become major obstacles to “deciding on coherent national security policy.”
Mr. Lippert also was asked whether he managed to “cut off” Gen. Jones from consulting with the president during a 2009 trip to Europe.
The letter also stated that Gen. Jones had talked to Mr. Obama about firing Mr. Lippert for “rank insubordination” and that the president had agreed to move Mr. Lippert out of the NSC.
Additionally, Mr. McCain asked Mr. Lippert to explain whether he “shut out” a top White House military adviser, Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, from key Iraq policy discussions because he distrusted him.
When asked about his clashes with Gen. Jones at a Nov. 17 committee hearing, Mr. Lippert responded, “I did not leak to the press about General Jones.”
But he would not answer questions from Mr. McCain about whether his departure from the NSC staff was the result of differences with Gen. Jones.
“Gen. Jones and I worked collaboratively on many issues, and I’m proud of what we accomplished, but there was also times we disagreed, but I knew General Jones was the boss,” Mr. Lippert said.

Democrat hack hacked!
I picked up on the fact that Obama is pressing the South to surrender to the North.
Who is Mark Lippert - The man so close to Obama?

The old ambassador was named Kim Sung?
Mr. Kim Ki-jong
And some people on FR are lauding this pile of human corruption because he is tagged as an ‘American’. He is a spawn of deceit as much as Obama is as to his birth records.
According to several highly credible ex-ODM sources WND interviewed in Kenya, the $950,000 raised for Odinga’s campaign came from a series of private meetings arranged for Odinga by Mark Lippert, a foreign policy adviser in Obama’s U.S. Senate office. The meetings with top-dollar Obama fundraisers and donors took place during Odinga’s 2006 trip to the U.S.

Odinga called on fellow Luo tribal members to protest alleged voter fraud, resulting in a brutal wave of machete-wielding violence that killed an estimated 1,000 members of the Kikuyu tribe in January and February. Some 800 Christian churches also were destroyed or burned to the ground, without a single mosque being damaged.
In a move to end the post-election violence, Kibaki named Odinga as prime minister April 13, effectively entering into a power-sharing agreement brokered by former U.N. General Secretary Kofi Annan and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that established Odinga as a co-equal head of state.
WND contacted both Obama’s Washington Senate office and his Chicago campaign office asking for comment on this story but received no response.
