President Bush addresees the nation from the White House 09:45AM ET
Look! You're Doing Something already! A man of action, in our midst!
Thanks, that is very nice of you.
First time GW's been late. Must be some last minute "debate" going on.
sw
Rove pushed the button on the North's nuke test... He thought the whole Foley gay thing was being over played...
Thanks, Jersey. The president is late, which is highly unusual for him.
It's also the first day of Sukkot.
Will the UN "deplore" or "condemn?" Will it remain "seized" with the issues? The world trembles in anticipation.
I still think we might do something about Iran, at least I hold out hope. NK is like a porcupine. We could kill it, but we'd get some quills and it would hurt like hell. There's an off chance they'd do something stupid and attack somebody, probably SK (if they do I say let SK deal with it.) With Iran we have yet another pretender greedily eyeing the holy grail of dominance over the Middle East, along with a generous helping of jew hatred and covetousness over Iraq. Their sabre rattling is far more likely to be leading up to something than NK, imo.
OTOH, who knows what the NKs are likely to feed the Iranians. It could all be connected, and this could be but another step down the slippery path leading to the coming conflagration.
Saved! :)
China also urged North Korea to return to six-party talks it has hosted aimed at dismantling the North's nuclear programmes. The talks, which have been stalled for nearly a year, also group South Korea, Japan, the United States and Russia.
Yep, that's what we need.....more talking. /s
There's stories of additional activity at a different site -- suspicion is that they may try another test today. Prolly getting the most up-to-date briefing. This is big stuff.
That is not a good sign....
Didn't know. Thanks for the info.
We've had a nuclear N. Korea all along, not "now". I heard this twice on the radio driving in to work. "N. Korea has now gone nuclear" and "N. Korea has now joined the club of nuclear powers". Is this dem talking points? As if to say that under the Bush watch N. Korea has gone nuclear. Um, whose fault was it to begin with, let's try Clinton. Thank you.
Very unusual that Bush is late. Doesn't make me feel good but think they want the very latest input from other nations.
Now 9:55AM ET. The WH must be getting last second info.
NBC saying this is Bush's fault already. Good old Russert.
Japan is hanging strong from what I've read but I don't know what China's response has been. I just haven't been able to keep up with the news lately and have so many questions but will try and read after the speech and try to figure out what's going on.
