Hmm. It ain’t 1949 anymore. South Korea could very well clean Kim Jong’il’s clock.
I guess Kim hasn’t been getting enough attention lately and is therefore having another tantrum...
The Norks are hoping to get aome “take out” from across the DMZ. They will run out of fuel soon.

Ain’t it strange,,,
Everytime the ME heats-up,,,
Lil’kim starts razin’hell?!,,,
Mmmmm?...;0)
Chosun also said a North Korean mechanised army unit was recently spotted moving south after a regular field exercise, in what it called an unprecedented military move.
Awec Bawdwin told him to do it.....
Would be fun to see South Korea take out the North Korean air force, except that the mess afterwards might take awhile to clean up. The biggest problem may be the 10,000 or so artillery tubes that North Korea can fire toward Seoul, only 20 miles or so from the DMZ..... that could wreak an awful lot of havoc and casualties before the South and US airpower could do enough damage to the NK.
KimJong Illin' is the last person they want to put a toe out of line just prior to the 2008 Olympics. I suspect they'd shut him down personally before they permit him to initiate actual hostilities. Perhaps the South Koreans are comfortable with this thought as well.
Seriously, the impact on China's plans and the billions of dollars they've invested in preparing for the Olympics goes right down the drain if a shooting match starts up with the Koreas next door.
On top of that, most thinking nations will realize that China is responsible for letting NK off it's short leash and hold China just as responsible for hostilities as it does NK.
Such a move will NOT increase attendance...
Oooooooo.
MIG 21 aircraft.......
Ooooooooo.
The pinnacle of advanced fighter technology. </sarc. off>
guess ‘its that time of the month’ for ole kim...
I’ve always had a theory that China would unleash NK as a distraction prior to their move on Taiwan. With our forces preoccupied and the Iranian situation heating up now would be a logical time for them to act except for one thing. I don’t think the Chinese will want to spoil their coming out party, the Olympics. So that leaves a rogue NK on the loose as the only possibility.
Only 506 miles from Beijing to Pyongyang.
NK is working up to war or another Bluff. It is taking all the classic War Prep steps.
