NK knows that Obama’s knee-jerk reaction will be to give them money and food to stop attacking the South.
Fasten your seat belts, could be a rough ride.
From what I am hearing, the SK ship is sunk and a North Korean sub is suspected. Many of the sailors on SK ship are dead. Waiting for additional details to link.
So it begins.
Yikes. Waiting to hear what TigerLikesRooster or AmericanInTokyo have to say about this. This one could be bad.
Crap. Just what we need. A diversion from the crap congress is doing...and from healthcare....
S.Korean ship sinking with 100 on board, North attack suspected - YTN
SEOUL - A South Korean naval ship with more than 100 on board was sinking on Friday near North Korea and Seoul was looking into whether it was due to a torpedo attack by the North, South Korea’s YTN TV network reported.
North Korea in recent weeks has said it was bolstering its defences in response to joint South Korean-U.S. military drills that were held this month.

North Korea threatens U.S., South Korea with ‘nuclear strikes’
March 26, 2010
North Korea’s military threatened South Korea and the United States on Friday with “unprecedented nuclear strikes” as it expressed anger over a report the two countries plan to prepare for possible instability in the totalitarian country, a scenario it dismissed as a “pipe dream.”
Here we go.

Were both vessels South Korean?
South Korean Naval Vessal Sinking In Yellow Sea
According to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, a 1,500-ton naval vessel with a crew of 104 sank off of the island of Baengnyeong in the Yellow Sea on March 26. Based on size and crew displacement it is likely either an Ulsan-class guided missile frigate or a Po Hang-class corvette. The incident took place between 9 and 10 a.m. local time. The cause is unknown, but the BBC has reported that a torpedo was involved. Seoul has said there was an explosion at the stern, and it is investigating whether a torpedo attack from North Korea was the cause, according to YTN TV. The contested waters between North and South Korea do see the occasional naval clashes, but the loss of a surface combatant on this scale would be extremely significant.
Any reason why other major news outlets are not reporting? This seems to be a major incident, to say the least.
Bush’s fault, no doubt.
