Sounds like he is really trying to hype his book.

BTW, the US must have contingency plans to invade N. Korea, if circumstance would ever demand it.

I'm sure we 'have plans' to invade nearly every country in the world. We have plans to evacuate the capitol if it gets nuked, plans for burying the dead if the Andreas Fault finally ruptures and sends the West Coast into the ocean.

What's the big deal?

O'Neill, fired by the White House for his disagreement on tax cuts, is the main source for an upcoming book, "The Price of Loyalty," authored by Ron Suskind.

Found this article on Suskind:

He’s making a career of this angle. Hope he enjoys his share of the Bush tax cuts.

Price of loyalty my arse.

Exactly. Plans and contingencies are exactly that. Kennedy's cabinet discussed an invation of Cuba. Truman's cabinet discussed a strike on the Soviet Union in the days leading up to the Berlin air lift. LBJ's cabinet discussed whether an invasion of North Vietnam would widen the war. Nixon's cabinet discussed whether China would intervene if U.S. toops went into Cambodia. Reagan's cabinet talked about a number of pre-emptive strikes. Grenada was one such result. Panama was such a result under Papa Bush. Heck, even Clinton's cabinet discussed which targets to bomb when impeachment needed to be pushed off the front pages.

Bush's cabinet would be idiots if they didn't discuss plans and contingencies for conflicts with the enemies of our nation. If Paul O'Neill needs to peddle a book, he needs to come up with something more revealing than this tripe.
