North Korea torpedoed South's navy ship
Reuters ^ | 4/21/10 | Jack Kim

South Korea's military believes a torpedo fired from a North Korean submarine sank its navy ship last month, based on intelligence gathered jointly with the United States, a news report said on Thursday.

The Yonhap news agency report appears to be the clearest sign yet that Seoul blames Pyongyang for the sinking, thought to have killed 46 sailors in what would be one of the deadliest incidents between the rivals since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.

Act of war by the agressive North, interesting lack of response by the U.S. in fact I don't even remember Obama talking about it at all......

Wonder if anything will be talked about after the Mushroom cloud goes up over Tel Aviv, doubt it....

Idiots like Obama need thousands to die to be convinced that there are people that want us dead.

Not good. I was thinking the Middle East would be where the big show would start. Maybe it will be the Norks who start it after all.

The whole civilized world will shake their heads and ask, "Why did Obama nuke Tel Aviv?"

We know why.

Each tree and rock will say, "Oh Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come kill him."

I think everyone was crossing their fingers, hoping that the ship just had the misfortune to brush against a 60-year old mine floating aimlessly in the sea. This definitely changes things. Deliberately torpedoing a ship is, as you said, an act of war.

Man, we live in interesting times...

It’s 2010, North and South Korea are still shooting at each other and the entire Muslim world wants to kill every Jew and convert everyone else to Islam by the sword.

Evolution? Ha!

Idiots like Obama that hate the United States cannot be convinced, no matter how many die. Besides, it provides less internal resistance to Hope and Change.

Oblama wont do anything. Especially now that we've let NK get a nuke. Same will happen with Iran, they will soon be shooting missiles/torpedoes at whomever they please.

Since the war technically never ended one wonders if they will just pick up where they left off? I feel for the men we have stationed there. When the North comes over that line it’s going to be one bloody mess.

We could see several big breakouts of war at the same time as countries try to settle old rivalries while the US is weak and lame.

Pakistan-India
China-Tawain
Iran-Israel-others
Russia-Georgia/(Ukraine?)

Things are about to go off...Russia and Poland, DPRK and South Korea, Iran and Israel.

We are on the verge of WWIII.

Having a weak president has allowed the world to slip to these dangerous levels.

And China has been very bold, floating a navy right through Japanese islands, including Okinawa

My big concern has always been what China will do when WW3 finally does happen.

That’s why we must strike now. A single massive and devastating blow that catches them completely off guard.

The only problem is that Ronald Reagan was that last POTUS with the testicular fortitude to do such a thing.

The “idiot” obama is far from an idiot. In addition, he is not the problem. He is on a mission to destroy the United States of America and hee is succeeding in this.

The problem lies in and with the millions of traitors that put him in power. For without these traitors, he would be just another turd in the Chicage political toilet.

Did you see the report from Poland that said the guy who took that video of the crash was murdered? I would have posted the link here but the site is in Polish.

That’s what I’m worried about. This ‘guy’ in the WH doesn’t play chess very well.

South Korea plans to soon raise the front half of the 1,200-tonne Cheonan, which went down near a disputed sea border with North Korea, and will issue its verdict on the cause of the explosion that sank the warship after that.

Analysts said there is little South Korea can do even if Pyongyang is found to be the culprit, because a military response was likely to hurt its own quickly recovering economy and bolster North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's standing at home.

Too many wimps not enough courage..everybody but the North Koreans will cave.. the Devil is having another good day at the office.
