He has nuclear weapons and he has the uniform to deliver them.

[AppyPappy]

Cheney needs to be more diplomatic when dealing with Kim Il Puggsley.

[sarasota]

I like it when Cheney talks tough. He should be a role model for the stoneless members of the GOP.

[dfwgator]

"You're bweaking my bawls, Cheney. You're bweaking my bawls."

[martin_fierro]

Obligatory graphic

[dmz]

He's the perfect fit to talk tough. He has no horses in any future races.

[TheLostBoy]

Cheney just told the truth on meet the press

[JustaCowgirl]

Well, why would Cheney call Kim Jong Il one of the world's most irresponsible leaders? Maybe because he is?

[popdonnelly]

Oh for God's sake, now we have to be nice to this guy? Let's all take up lying in order to get little Kimmie to give up his nukes. What a waste of time. He already broke his last agreement with us. The only thing that would break this impasse is Kim's sudden conversion to sanity, which isn't going to happen.

[Names Ash Housewares]

God forbid we offend the little psycho tryant gulag running maniac with nuclear ambitions to extort the world.
Lord knows Clintons approach of kissing his butt worked.

[rod1]

Let China try to feed the starving North Korenas if they are so impressed with Kim's leadership, use of resources and commitment to humanity. Maybe after putting money down the NK rat hole for a few decades, they would hum a different tune about their money being wasted as well.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Nothing happens in NK without the approval of the Red Chinese.

[aspiring.hillbilly]

So now the veep has to respect commie trash before they get nuked to oblivion?

[Jen from Tn.]

now that's funny!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Time for a chorus of "I'm So Ronery".

[Kirkwood]

NK at night.

[AmericanInTokyo]

LOL! (Sidebar here: "Hey, TLR did you see this pic?")

[gogogodzilla]

I'm still trying to figure out what 'name-calling' occurred to get China upset.

All I saw in the article where declarations of fact, not opinion.

[CasearianDaoist]

I like it too, but he has not even started to talk tough: he is merely stating facts.

Of course, in the mental world that the left lives in, this is calling people "names."

[sarasota]

Well spoken about the "mental world that the left lives in". I've never understood their logic and can't bear the thought of reading Ann Coulter's book to get it. I prefer to ignore them.
