This is an unfortunate situation. We're already overextended with Iraq and Afghanistan. We don't have the ability produce weapons or train draftees (if it comes to that) in sufficient numbers fast enough to fight a conventional war on the peninsula. It would be over before we could even get geared up.

That's all assuming, of course, that we intend to fight a conventional war. From the talk coming out of Chris Hill, conventional warfare might not even be under consideration anymore.

I'm going to get the UN to write a strongly worded letter to the Norks!

Glad the world's at peace so our Congress can spend its time on really important things like throwing dirt on each other during the election season.
