The United States said on June 22 it would give North Korea 50,000 tonnes of food aid, saying its decision was based on humanitarian need and was not linked to efforts to end Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions. 'The United States will be donating, in response to the World Food Program appeal, 50,000 metric tonnes of agricultural commodities for North Korea,' State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said, adding it was not designed to lure North Korea to six-party talks on ending its suspected nuclear arms programs.
Very good, American running dogs. Now, I want Scarlet Johansen too.
What happened with the quote, "teach the people how to feed themself and not just give the people the food".
First things first. Kim Jong IL has got to go. Then we start teaching.
Man, I hate to use a Star Trek quote, but I will...
Spock: They're dying Jim...
Kirk: Let them die!
Either South Korea or China. If I was them, I'd head South!
Why give them food, wouldn't it be better that they starve and desperation makes the people take on the government?
The common people are starving. I spoke with a Doctor who has been traveling there doing humanitarian aid and he said it is almost unfathomable how they survive.
Meaning... what, exactly?
"I'm Lost here."
Normal new poster complaint, usually repaired with humor, long nights of reading, and generally observing teh forum.
"We invade Iraq but give these killers free food?"
And the problem with ousting Saddam is?
North korea has someone north of them who would not take too kindly to little Kim getting the zot so to speak.
China would go to war as they see North Korea as tehir little barking dog.
Besides, the population starves while little Kim gets to be as portly as he can be in his tertiary syphillis.
And a starving population cannot do much for themselves when they are focused on staying alive til tomorrow.
"Where is the consistent foreign policy here?"
Why sit by while innocents starve?
"North Korea actually has WMD and would use them in a nanosecond."
North Korea has nukes because BILL CLINTON literally GAVE little Kim the weapons grade fuel, and the nuke designs by way of China.
And while it would be a wise thing to crush little Kim, he's paranoid enough to nuke Tokyo, Seoul, and anything else he thinks he can hit before he goes.
"I feel like this is cowardly to give free stuff to these people."
It is more cowardly for Clinton to have literally handed little Kim the materials for nukes on the 'promise' by little Kim that he wouldn't make nukes.
"Please take my bill fold and don't hit me!!"
That was the Clinton administrations policy.
Worked real well, didn't it?
U.S.S. Cole, 1993 WTC bombing, Mogadishu, the list goes on..
And before anyone says 'illegal war', what about Clintons illegal war in the Balkans, his action against women and children in Waco, and his little deal at Ruby Ridge?
So tell me what is so bad about Iraq?
Looks like we need to throw the bums out of Washington (again). When will this madness ever end???
Here, just tack this sucker on my back. Our leaders will be ever so greatful.
a conservative's burden
"Why? How could we be so stupid?"
Isn't it fairly obvious? We, or some of those among us ARE that stupid.
Wait a couple of days until you hear just how this aid is benefitting the American farmer: another voting bloc that Republicans can't afford to offend.
It appears that the Russians, China and the US of A are all following the CM line and verse.
Yep...I feel like taking up a collection and sending every member of Congress a copy of Golitsyn's books.
WTF???? America is the worst country in the history of the world! We would NEVER do anything like this.....right?
nuclear blackmail?
China rattling the taiwanese box?
who knows?
better yet, who's telling what they know?
Why are we feeding his Army? Are we f*cking nuts?
That was very clever. LOL.
I'm plumb out of compassion for "friends that become enemies" and the needy that eat food from my family while plotting to kill my family...
I'm less concerned about my "reward in heaven" for having strengthened my enemy that will attempt to kill my grandchildren -- than I am in destroying that enemy before he has the opportunity to act...
I'm not a preacher.....I'm an old warrior that loves his family a lot more than the family of my announced and active enemy...
I may end up going to hell, but I hope it is after sending more of my family and nation's enemies there first.
