North Korea's March to War

North Korea has been busy, busy, busy since the election of our weak President. This week, they have sharply increased their war rhetoric. On Wednesday they issued this threat: "If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all." And on Thursday they promised a "fire shower of nuclear retaliation" if the U.S. attacked them. The media is pretending that it isn't happening, whistling in the dark, but how can anyone avoid noticing that since Obama's failed policies have been introduced, the evil forces of the world have been unleashed?

The Pentagon snickered at the North Koreans' latest threats. Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell, when asked about the North Korean threat to wipe the U.S. off the map, sniffed: "I don't even know how to respond to that. It's silliness. For what and with what?"

However, I do not find these threats to be a bit funny. They bode ill, most ill, for the US's preventative effect on the malevolent advancement of the axis of evil.

George W. Bush called it in his speech after 9/11: the axis of evil, Iraq, Iran and North Korea. We deftly removed the brutal dictator Saddam Hussein, but the leftists and the international forces of evil managed after that to bench the Bush doctrine, to the horrible detriment of free men. We have seen the terrible course of events in Iran, and we pray for those Iranians who are yearning and dying to be free.

And meanwhile, North Korea is on its own evil tear and it must be said Bush opened the door. In a stunning capitulation to the left and the "realists" at State, it was Bush who removed North Korea from the State Sponsors of Terror

North Korea has been busy, busy, busy since the election of our weak President.Golf anyone?.

[hoosier hick]

The point too many miss is that when the US withdraws from world leadership it leaves a vacuum. Once SKorea and Japan realize they can’t count on us (already happening) they will make aggressive moves to defend themselves. Throw in Israel and Eastern Europe (with Russia’s bullying) and the world is getting much more dangerous by the day...

Yeah hoosier hick but we have the “messiah” leading us. Just ask anyone in the m.s.m.
HE will lead the world.

Load of crap huh?

The only atom bombs to destroy cities did not require missiles. A future North Korea with say, 50 weaponized A bombs might get some through. South Korea and Japan are even easier targets.

The North Korean threat needs to be eliminated. And soon, before China becomes any stronger.

“They [ROK, Japan, Israel, Eastern bloc] will make aggressive moves to defend themselves.”

Don’t leave out ROC Taiwan.

Anyway, let’s us lovers of liberty in America hope that the above nations choose aggressive defense over appeasement.

(This is somewhat unrelated, but has anyone noticed that there doesn’t seem to be much of a “Muslim problem” in nations like Poland, Czech Rep, the Baltic states, even Bulgaria and Romania? Wonder why that is......)

I see nothing wrong with S. Korea and Japan making “aggressive” moves to defend themselves. When you have economies the size of those countries, to have a less than adequate military defense if foolish. If Japan announced its intentions to pursue missile defense and develop Nuclear Weapons, I believe China would act with all due haste in shutting North Koreas Nuclear capabilities down.

You know your country is weak when a crappy little country like NK can threaten nuclear strikes and we do absolutely nothing in response.

How long does it take that ship to go to Burma ? what is it a Row boat ?

Maybe I didn't read the article closely enough, but I don't think that the word "distraction" was used. These events are certainly a distraction to the left's domestic agenda, and they don't need that. Well, they can't stop it, so why not just ignore it.

Besides, North Korea, Iran, China, Russia and the American left are all on the same side. What's there to fight about? The real enemy is the American right, and they're on the run. This is not the time to upset the international apple cart.
