“We” being the administration and their disposition. Why would they protect the country. when at the same time, they are deliberately financially tearing it down? Incoming missiles open borders, both speed up the process. Just MHO.
not [repared politically
This is the response when the request by the SOS to “call” anytime to resume the talks does not work....
Funny thats what my fortune cookie said last night
"I don’t think Gates is a fool. But he is an opportunist, ready to do what the Boss wants."
Agreed.
Militarily we are prepared.
Politically, ethically and otherwise we are not prepared.
Capitulation and appeasement are the orders of the day.
Yep!! Perfect time for the NKs and the Iranians to load that puppy with a nuke and send it our way!! Were in deep do do! Maybe Japan will show that they have a pair!
I’m sure they’d prefer a WWJ(C)D bracelet. (What Would Jimmah (Carter) Do).
Well maybe Obama can get rid of all our missile defense systems like he promised. That will make us safer.
Yeah, I wonder how people in Hawaii are feeling right about now. Oh, I forgot, they probably have no idea.
Yup. Obambi has spoken. :(
Hey Gates! You feckless head of the American military. The de-militarized Japs will cover for your failure to give a feck.
International law? That same international law that the USA is supposed to obey?
Let Korea break "international law" that is their right as a free state.
And our right? Well, we can wipe them off the face of the earth and be danged with "international law... I'm reading between the lines again. Lets not be outraged by a free state doing what a free state wants to do...

Obama is planning to send in Hans Brix to negotiate. And if they don’t listen, we are then going to send them a letter saying we are very, very angry.
He is FOS! What we do not have is the balls to do it... gates is a leftist liar... a real weasley clark.
LLS
Right on!
If you read the question and the answer he gives is "No", it means there is something we could do about it.
By saying "we are not prepared to do anything about it" means that the ADMINISTRATION has decided not to do anything. That means Obama, maybe with Ms Clinton's input, made the decision. Gates may run the Pentagon, but he doesn't make decisions about things like this that involve diplomacy.
You evidently don't understand Gates reports to someone. That someone made the decision! You get three guess'es as to whom that might be.
