US should consider military options against N Korea: Perry
Thu May 28, 1:28 pm ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States should consider a range of coercive measures against North Korea, including possible military action, for diplomacy to have a chance of success, former US defense secretary William Perry said Thursday.
Perry emphasized that he was not recommending military action against North Korea now but said the United States should at least consider escalating to military action if other lesser coercive measures prove ineffective.
"We could have stopped this last nuclear test if we had chosen to do so. We could have stopped the first one had we chosen to do so," he told an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations.
"That requires a military action, and I'm not recommending military action. But somewhere along in this series of coercive actions, one can imagine an escalation, and if the ones that are less do not succeed, we have to be willing to consider the other ones," he said.

Ping!
With a yellow belly coward asa CIC, I think that’s off the table...
How about cutting out all of the cowardly BS coming from Hillary and the Messiah and just nuking the No. Korean’s main nuclear facilities and telling their military commanders that if they so much as move a foot, we’ll turn them into ashes? And then do it if they move.
I like that approach. Fast, deadly, end of problem.
Might as well take out that shithole of Pyongyang while we are at it. They won’t need it.
Sounds good to me.
That's the bold, decicive leadership Perry demonstrated in the Clinton adminstration.
"I'm warning you, if you keep this up we're going to consider doing something about it!"
Create a new strategic alliance with South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and India(already has nukes). Give them each BMD and nukes. Then we have leverage and get to watch China crap its pants.
Let them start action and then flatten them
make peace with whoever survives and crawls out fro under the rubble with white flags .
This can the end of the entire DINK nation
Bttt.
or write a strong letter, that seems to work well for Obozo.
Blow up the Nuke plants and the rocket factory and launch sites. Maybe drop a bomb on the Palace of the “dear leader” while we are about it.
Bomb them with pictures of the Messiah. That will bring them to their knees.
CFR, huh?
Well, I guess a major war on the Korean Peninsula would remove some of the competition to American industry, so go for it, I guess. Anything to help the American economy.
OK, listening to Perry talk about War is like listening to Obama talk about Hope. Neither have a friggin clue.
