I notice it’s not 3 am wherever Obama is. He gets to address this wide awake.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

You left out the evil genius Karl Rove, he no doubt manipulated the entire situation.

Crap. Just what we need. A diversion from the crap congress is doing...and from healthcare....

I wonder what Rahm offered them to do this.

Now Obama gets a war Clinton didn't get.

WW1 ignited over the shooting of one man.

Attack happened at Baengnyeong Island, 37° 58′ 0″ N, 124° 39′ 0″ E, close to the Line of Demarcation, about 4 hours sailing time from Seoul.

A very highly contested area 10 miles off the N Korean coast.

>> Any reason why other major news outlets are not reporting? This seems to be a major incident, to say the least. <<

Teh Media is still trying to decide how to spin this against Obama’s Enemies.

The govt of SK will have to respond,..or their govt will fall.

This ship was awfully close up in the northern waters. I’m sure PACOM in Hawaii is jumping.

Could this be our Generation’s “Sinking of the Lucitania”?

+1

Given how close the SK naval vessel was to the Line of Demarcation it is doubtful this was an accident

Anyone hear yet if the SK ship went down with all hands???

Obamacare, Isreal insulted, Russia Nuke deal and now this.

I feel that I'm watching a bad movie that won't end well.

This time, though, the route to amnesty is going to be millions of illegal alien draftees.

The event must have happened between 8 and 9pm EDT.
