Make salted desolation and we call it peace. Dead enemies need no political or diplomatic solutions.
I've looked at the ash fall-out from the last one, makes me want to move!
I'd like to go north...but then there is Yellow Stone.
West is out.
East - ? New Madrid.
North and East (from here) - too cold.
Must be time for a lawyer, all this mental stress - someone has to pay!
They should have been doing this from the beginning.
Napalm sends a sweet message
"Political solutions" sounds like fired Wesley Clark today on FNC telling how wonderful George Soros is
What a loser-pansy
I would say the solution to not occupying NK would be to let SK do that instead. I think they would do a better job of it anyway.
It would probably be like fighting WW2 all over again. NK, unlike Iraq, has plenty of targets for carpet bombings akin to those used during the bombing of Germany.
Think Kim has any battle plans drawn up for a possible war with the US? Seems to me he's relying too much on the fear his nukes are causing to focus on developing his regular army.
Too bad we don't have the balls to do it now.
What makes you say that?
Absolutely!!!
What makes you think SK would agree to occupy NK? They don't want us to invade and if we did they probably would not want to rebuild and occupy NK and feed millions of starving people. And what would China and Russia do while we are destroying NK? They would probably try to kick our butts out of there. But even if they sat perfectly still while we destroyed the place - after the fact they also wouldn't want a bunch of starving people to feed.
So there are no magic solutions. A post-war phase and occupation have to be thought through carefully rather than just having hot-headed knee jerk reactions.
I'm beginning to think that there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop NK from amassing nukes by ourselves from a practical standpoint. Over the next hundred years these countries like NK and Iran and the like will be digging down and digging in and we will not be able to just bomb them. The only solution is for us to somehow persuade enough countries to go with us and gang up on these bastards. Bush is incapable of doing it. Clinton - forget it. So we would need a President that could corral these world leaders together to suffocate the little turds in getting with the program.
