"How about the President? His response has been pathetic. Playing it as a game. He is the one that has to make decisions to defend the country. I guess we now have to live with countries lauching missles at us?"
Thanks. Ive been watching this all unfold and have the same confusion as well.
I really don't understand the response of the U.S.
The only thing I see Bush doing is waving his finger a lot and crying about it all.
I also don't understand why everyone seems so confidant Kim is doing this all under the direction of China. China has billions (trillions?) at stake with the U.S. to lose. Somehow I think if they had as much control over N.K. as most seem to believe they would not be allowing this to go on as it has.
The response thus far really has me baffled and frustrated however. It really seems to me like the US is going to have to lose a major city to a NK nuke before they decide to take any real action against them. Just can't understand that logic especially after hearing GWB all these years tell us how that isn't how it's going to be played any longer.
Please don't get me wrong, I fully support George Bush. It's just his response over this missile situation that really has me perplexed.
This is too easy... Just look at the history of how N. Korea operates. Kimmie's trying to provoke a strong response. Probably thinks that if he can't scare Bush, he can at least scare enough of the left here to force Bush to negotiate from a weaker position / make concessions. The last thing he wants is for us to continue on basically the same, calm course we have been. Unfortunately, Bush has to show just a little concern here (political pressure here.)
As I posted elsewhere, the libs are like a parent who freaks out when the baby cries, when in reality all that is needed is to check for poop in the diapers. In this case, there wasn't even much poop.
