Don’t worry O is gonna save us... he might have to let the north take over the south through invasion but no Americans will be dead because they will be ordered stay in their barracks and become prisoners.
If we have no time to remove our troops O will make a deal to keep them in their barracks ‘for the duration’ thereby giving 28,000 US prisoners to mad Kim.
Well, he will say, at least they ain’t dead yet.
Obama’s weakness is going to draw us into war with the Madman.
I wonder if the Obamamania will continue to overshadow all of the international news developments. I appreciate seeing things like this on FR as we have our oldest boy (if age 23 is still a boy), working as an English teacher in Seoul through at least August of this year yet.
From what I have read, North Korea quit believing they could beat the South about 20 years ago.
