Please tell us what they're saying. Any word that they'll send the ROK Marines?
They will wake up to this news in increasing numbers around 6 p.m. Eastern Time today. Watch the reaction.
Nobody is suggesting a full scale ROK military ramp up (maybe in the old days there would be). If anything the initial public reaction I have seen, is to want to retreat from Iraq (based on what I've read on chat board activity), and not be linked to the US effort there. That is limited I must say, though. (Nobody get wise and get angry with me, please, I am just relaying the facts).
I am sure the Korean NSC is meeting at this exact moment. They will stay the course.
What the Korean public response tomorrow will be, well, that's a different story.
