...rehearsing a performance for the 80th anniversary of the "Down with Imperialism Union."

Will Babs and Alec be there?

[The Blitherer]

I wonder how long a war with NK would last? I'm guessing about as long as it takes our missiles to reach them.

[b4its2late]

He's nuts, but if it comes to war, I think he'll be in for a few nasty surprises.

Stopped reading after this:

"If the U.S. keeps pestering us and increases pressure, we will regard it as a declaration of war and will take a series of physical corresponding measures," the statement, said without specifying what those measures could be.

The U.S. is NOT "pestering" them about anything. It is RUSSIA and CHINA who should be "pestering" them since their country borders on theirs. Of course Russia and China are against sanctions and want the U.S. to carry the water and be viewed as the evil, heavy handed enemy that dictates punishments.

"President Bush called for stiff sanctions on North Korea and asserted that the United States has "no intentions of attacking" the reclusive regime. "

Sanctions need to go into affect as soon as possible!
Or be labeled a COWARD.

"As Bush spoke, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan urged Washington to hold one-on-one talks with Pyongyang, something the U.S. has refused to do."

Yeah, Kofi wouldn't defend his mother if she was getting raped in front of him. He's still be holding out to reason with the unreasonable. THe U.N. headed by this murderous thug is a COWARD.

[Logical me]

As Bush spoke, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan urged Washington to hold one-on-one talks with Pyongyang, something the U.S. has refused to do.

Damn dunce. What in the heck does this nitwit Annan think we have done in the past, and did that little fat nitwit in Korea do?

[Philistone]

The world's fifth largest army...

Not this s**t again...

MAYBE the 100,000 or so elite NORK troops who actually get enough food will fight for Mr. Ronery. The rest will only move forward under the threat of getting shot from behind...

[TOneocon]

I wish Kim Bonghead Il would quite threating war and do something stupid to start one.

[LibLieSlayer]

chia-pet makes the first move, we make the last.

The dog eaters make easy targets.

Not too many pajama wearing kimchi eating SOB's anywhere else than in N.Korea.

They start it and we'll bomb them so hard and so long that there won't be much left.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

Somebody needs to photoshop Kimmy's head onto that Attention Whore pic of the girl doing a cartwheel in a bikini.

What a joke!

[TheCrusader]

"South Korea said it was making sure its troops were prepared for atomic warfare,---"

hahahaha, sorry, but this sounded funny to me. How will South Korea prepare their ground troops for a nuclear war, have them sit in their prefab caskets and wait for the explosion? I think it's a far better option to strike N. Korea first, and let them worry about how to prepare their troops for nuclear bombs. Why do we need to be struck by a nuke before we attack Kim Il? The man is all but telling us the day and hour of his nuclear attack against the South. I believe he means what he says.

[DejaJude]

So far, all I've seen is rockets hitting the ocean and bombing his own country with what may or may not be nukes.

From this report, early indications are Japan's new PM, Shinzo Abe is going to be a strong voice among leaders of the free world. Whereas we have no trade with North Korea, Japan did until this test. I like these excerpts from the article:

"Japan took steps to punish North Korea for the test, prohibiting its ships from entering Japanese ports and imposing a total ban on imports from the impoverished nation.

North Korean nationals are also prohibited from entering Japan, with limited exceptions, the Cabinet Office said in a statement released after an emergency security meeting late Wednesday.

"We cannot tolerate North Korea's actions if we are to protect Japanese lives and property," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said after an emergency security meeting late Wednesday. "These measures were taken to protect the peace."

A total ban on imports and ships could be disastrous for North Korea, whose produce such as clams and mushroom earns precious foreign currency on the Japanese market. Ferries also serve as a major conduit of communication between the two countries, which have no diplomatic relations.

Two dozen North Korea-registered trade ships are moored at Japanese ports, according to public broadcaster NHK. Local traders already were refusing to unload shipments to protest the alleged test, and the boats were expected to be ordered out, NHK said."

Though not part of this article, Australian Prime Minister John Howard has also been at the forefront of world leaders taking action rather than await any UN actions.

[RightWhale]

What will N Kor do? Cut off oil shipments to Japan and China?

[Natural Law]

That sawed-off little pant load that runs North Korea hasn't figured out that he can't treat the world like he treats his own citizens.

[IamConservative]

So, North Korea acts with impunity on the world stage. They break agreements with parties at will. Then, when the world decides to ignore them politically and economically, that is an act of war. I get it, it's like arguing with a toddler. Our next move should then be: "Mine is bigger than yours!"

Actually with 1000's of his toys aimed at Seoul, we're checkmate unless he starts something. Starve them out seems unfortunately to be the bst option.

[stboz]

Time to tell Bejing we'll nuke their asses if they don't make Kimi STFU.
