To watch the whole sordid thing yesterday on PYONGYANG TV from North Korea, unedited (BARF ALERT!) simply go to THIS LINK. It will take a few seconds for the video to load where one can fast forward. Upon being able to, fast forward to 18:30 until 26:25 (an eight minute report at USS Pueblo dockside on the Taeddong River).. At least for any USS Pueblo afficionadoes out there, for former crew members or crew family, there is a good camera once over of the ship port-side, from stem to stern. These rabid Norkies are really ramping up the war rhetoric in these speeches yesterday. You have to see it to believe it. By and large, I think the crowd is a bit bored, though, having to go through these rants on a daily or weekly basis. Call it Communist Burnout, perhaps.
You are right. I was in South Korea the very day this ship was taken. I remember waiting for LBJ to give the order to take it back. That order never came and the nightmare for those men lasted 9 months. Not a very good day in American history and his decision is still coming back to haunt us. Our current President could learn a lesson about the results of being non-committal.
Indeed. It is our ship to do with as we please. It should have been obliterated years ago.
‘zackly. We have had plenty of opportunities.
