N.Korea Restricts Sailing off Northwest Coast

North Korea has restricted passage of ships in the area off the coast of the West Korea Bay some 100 km northwest of Pyongyang. Japan's Kyodo news agency quoted the Japanese Coast Guard as saying one of its patrol boats had intercepted a warning sent out by the North to one of its vessels. The timeframe is reportedly from Monday through Wednesday during 9 am and 5 pm.

The exact reason behind the warning has yet to be confirmed, but it could be a precursor to another missile launch. Just last week North Korea designated other coastal areas as no sail zones and this was followed by the test-launch of three short-range missiles Monday.

Nodong? Scud? Silkworm type missiles? At any rate, methinksthis should piss off China (or at least some elements of China). Kim needs to take another train trip.

Also note how George W. Bush, Condi Rice and, the worst of all, Ambassador Christopher Hill, are eerily silent these days. The whole “Six Party Talks” crowd. Jackasses. All of them. Look what they have handed off to that fool Obama who will screw it up even more.

(2) hire more food tasters.

(3) make your own tea.

(4) make another decoy train.

(5) double up his doubles.

I have NO idea why we’re so worried about nuclear weapons when our guys are waterboarding terrorists.

Two unnoticed breaks for conservatives:

(1) Rice did not get a chance to become a Republican version of Obama.

(2) Bin Laden convincingly derailed Open Border initiative.

The USN should send some ships out there to see if the ship board defenses work as advertised.

My #10 just now is just a feeble, comical attempt at a) sarcastic humor, and b) mocking Bushbots who have no recollection of the events of October 2006 and onward re: North Korea and Bush.

I cannot believe that Clinton, Bush, and now Obama have let North Korea play the West like it has.

We should have put a soup can over that despotic leadership and shut the fricken place down.
