Abe, "Continued nuclear development of N. Korea could lead to its collapse"

On Oct. 11, Abe Shinzo, the new Japanese Prime Minister, gave his opinion that continued nuclear development of N. Korea could lead to its collapse.

Prime Minister Abe attended the Budget Committee of Upper House, and made comments regarding N. Korea's nuclear test, "If (N. Korea) develops nuclear weapons, it would put the survival of N. Korea in serious condition," according to Japanese media.

It is the first time that Prime Minster Abe, a well-known hard-liner against N. Korea, mentioned the possibility of N. Korea's collapse at Japan's legislature after his inauguration.

He added, "It is an illusion to think that nuclear weapons will garner international attention and enable N. Korea to negotiate U.S. What N. Korean regime should concentrate on is not to make nuclear weapons but to raise the standard of living for its people."

Japanese government convened its national security conference and adopted its own sanctions, made up of three items, banning all N. Korean ships from entering Japan, banning import of all N. Korean products, and ban, in principle, of all people with N. Korean citizenship.

I don't think Chia is Beijing's lapdog. My understanding is that NK is dependent on China for its economic survival, but Mr. Ronery seems rather unruly. Or should I say, unrooree.

Maybe not a lap dog, but they definitely have him on a leash. We just need to persuade the boys in the forbidden city to give that leash a good hard yank.

How I wish American liberals see the same and smell the coffee......

It isn't that they don't know that Pres. Bush's insistence on 5 nation talks isn't the best plan - it's that they don't want him to succeed at anything, even if world stability depends on it.

The only thing that the libs are motivated by are hate and power...and they would sink this country without blinking an eye if it meant they could harm Bush and get back into power.

They are becoming America's most dangerous enemy - I pray they loose in NOv and then back off for a few months on their rhetoric that gives hope - aid and comfort - to the terrorists, spurring them on, out of their hate and lust for power, to continued violence ...giving them hope that if they just keep it up long enough to aid them in Nov to regain power, then they'll pull us out and leave Iraq to them...a new base to set up training camps and use as a spring board to attack around the globe...and they will have no fear of a democrat led US giving them any trouble.

Thats why this whole thing confuses me. I can't figure out why China let Kim set of his fire cracker. There is no up side for either China or NK.

I think the Chicoms are operating under the assumption that what's bad for the U.S. is good for them.

I too hope the Dems lose Nov. 7th and badly. Only then might they realize that their incessant belly-aching about Bush, the war, etc. etc. has won them nothing and then maybe they might figure out that they have to be a responsible opposition party. Unfortunately, I don't sense a Republican victory in November, other than out in CA where Arnold and Tom McClintock will buck the tide. Any gains by the Democrats in Congress will be blown out of proportion and will only embolden them to continue on their present course. Crossing my fingers and hoping that on November 8th we're all reciting:

Remember, remember the seventh of November

Well if we back up and look at the big picture, it appears that Korea is being sacrificed by the Russians and the Chinese. Obviously neither nation cares about the Koreans otherwise they would have done something about the long term starvation. Now why would they sacrifice Korea while strengthening Japan ? Just a hunch , but oil may be the key. Japan has a weakness. It is oil. Same weakness they had in WWII. Japan cannot afford to have oil exports from the Mideast shut off. That means that the key component here is Iran and Russia/Chinas energy ambitions (The New Energy War). In a nut shell, perhaps Russia and China want the US bogged down in Korea or at least they want the Korea situation to prevent the US from handling or stopping the Iranians from going nuclear. Once Iran goes nuclear, Japan will have its oil turned off at the whim of the Mahdi wannabe, since nuclear blackmail can stop oil exports through the Straits of Hormuz. If this theoretical scenario was true, Russia and China must be relying on using oil to control the Japanese and obviously Western Europe/US. Just guessing here.

Hard to persuade the Red Chinese of much; we don't have a huge amount of leverage with them. But certainly worth a try.

There is no longer a democratic party - it has been systematically and totally infiltrated and taken over by the Democratic Socialists of America.

http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html

(As long ago as 1982, I infiltrated a meeting of the DSOC (Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee) meeting in the very shadow of our state capitol dome. "NO PRESS ALLOWED" - I was doing investigative reporting for a state wide paper att, and managed to get inside, voice activated recorder in my pocket. Our state Senate Majority leader was dismayed, a few days later, to find - on all Senate desks, including his - and through out the state, a lead story quoting him - as head speaker of the meeting, saying - as he held up a card - "I, like you, am a card carrying Socialist." - and then went on to lay out the strategy of taking over the democratic party, infiltrating and taking over local democratic committees, city/town governments, "get control of Pension Funds" - etc.

They have now succeeded. I repeat - and we should all be hollering it from the rooftops:

"There is no longer a Democratic Party. It is the Socialist Party. You can no longer vote "democrat."

The Communist Manifesto demands the following:

1.end of private property ownership (Implemented);

2. progressive and heavy taxation (Implemented);

3. end of inheritance rights (Implemented through heavy taxation);

4. government confiscation of property of emigrants and rebels (Implemented);

5. a national central bank (Implemented);

6.government control of transportation and communication (Implemented);

7. government ownership of factories and agriculture;

8. government control of labor;

9. corporate mega-farms to replace family farms (Implemented to a large degree);

10. regional planning (Implemented); and government control of education (Implemented).

Their modus operandi has been to infiltrate from within - "to take over one or both of the political parties" - (their takeover of the democratic party is now complete)

The Shoe Banger, Krushev warned us 50 years ago - "We will bury you within 50 years and we will not even have to fire a shot!" They are intent on reaching their goal to rule this country under socialism.

One thing we MUST get through is voter ID - altho' the heel dragging, I fear, may make it moot for this Nov...which means, with all the illegals and multi-votes, they well may gain control and then voter ID will die a swift death - and all tax relief will be swiftly repealed, and the blasphemous SCOTUS eminent domain ruling will forever stand, etc etc.

I believe the house has passed the voter ID =- we need to SCREAM at the senate NOW - is we have a ghost of a chance to get it operational for this year.

I do believe that were it operational this election, folk would be "confused" at the large drop in democrat votes across the country...
