Ping!
2 things come to mind:
1) act unilateraly
2) preemptive strike
to cope with the Bush administration's undisguised policy
amazing how they anticipated Bush policies while developing these weapons during the 90's while Clinton was in office and paying them off for not doing so. (Carter Doctrine)
The people are starving while Pugsley Jong Il builds bombs.
Uh...I declare to the world that I have nuclear weapons too!!! Now, respect me!
"Asked what Japan would do in response to a missile attack, Mr. Ishihara merely smiled."
You gotta love that. It's the same way I'd want the U.S. to respond.
"......North Korea's hard-line Communist government declared publicly today for the first time that it has nuclear weapons. ......"
And implied that it is ready to use them and supply them to others to use.
Thank you Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
Well smile, and then hint at the "football".
OK, this time we will give you all money FR takes in the next donation drive.:) Next time you should have your own country, army, secret police, and scientists. Then we will give you billions of dollars if you make the same threat.:)
Good thing you aren't in charge. There are millions of South Koreans in Seoul within artillery range of North Korea. What about them? You're going to hit North Korea without even consulting South Korea? That's nuts.
The 'ronery' one has sent the ping-pong ball back to them.
as well as 60,000 of our kids in Eighth Army/2ID,
mine among them...
What is this "ronery" buisness? is it some kind of freeper
code word?
The President should immediately appoint a delegation to go to North Korea to talk them out of further weapons development. I'd suggest Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Madeline Allbright since they have already solved this problem once before. Well, didn't they?
"ronery" is Kim Jong-il's way of pronouncing "lonely" in the movie "Team America."
In all seriousness, there's no easy solution. First off, I wonder if Jong-Il is bluffing.
Secondly, China is even more nervous than we are (being next door and all) and probably wouldn't put up with a nuclear NK either.
