True, but do they have a select arrangement of Obama’s best telepromter reads?

It’s time he got tough, so no IPod or select arrangement of teleprompter readings now.

Maybe Obama will throw himself down on the Oval Office carpet, when he gets back and kick and scream and hold his breath?

My guess is he will make a speech, right off of the telepromter and drop the whole thing. All smoke and mirrors.

We don’t need this thread, a FReeper has already posted a thread way before Japan or Fox or any news agency reported this. FR once again beats the frickin news to a world shaking event.

The No They Didn’t was in regard to NATO’s refusal to get more involved in Afghanistan, I believe.

I was wrong, that was earlier.

Maybe it means that Japan did not shoot it down, like they warned.

Japan won’t do sheet until Tokyo is nuked . All talk no action . Just like the cops over here . Never see them until AFTER something happens , then they ALL show up ...too late .

He called it a “provocative act”, which is either a stern response or a review of an x-rated movie.

"What does Drudge’s “No They Didn’t” headline mean? Anybody know?"

I haven't seen the Drudge headline, but I heard a few moments ago on FOX that nothing has achieved orbit or something along those lines. Maybe the Drudge headline refers to that.

Strange that this threat is not being screamed by the news agencies.
