They are as dumb as a bag of frikkin hammers.
The answer stares them right in the face.
Mr. Hilary Clinton went up to Pyongyang last year on a greviously disastrous kowtow mission along with John Podesta, funded by liberal Hollywood, giving total tactical victory to Kim Jong il in the kidnapping case of two Al Gore Journalists. Obongo also said he would travel to Pyongyang to further relations, an additional sign of unprecedented geopolitical weakness from an American President.
FROM THAT MOMENT THE DPRK LEADERSHIP WITH KIM AT THE HELM, SEASONED HARDBALL PROFESSIONALS THAT THEY ARE, KNEW THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH ALL KINDS OF MISSILE LAUNCHES, PUBLIC EXECUTIONS, RAMPED UP CONTERFEIT PRINTING, UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR TESTS, ELICIT ARMS SHIPMENTS THROUGH THAILAND TO SYRIA AND IRAN, AND FINALLY THE SINKING OF AN ROK CORVETTE, THE CHEONAN, IN FREE WATERS AS AN ACT OF WAR.
They do this, Mrs. Clinton, because YOUR boss and YOUR husband have been perceived in a North Korean context with so much abject weakeness and disdain, they have fully invited this dangerous North Korean situation.
Dont stand there with a confused shit eating grin on your face, puzzled, as if you have no idea that you and Washington have nothing to do with creating this emboldened enviroment within the Presidum of the Korean Workers Party and the Senior Leadership of the Korean Peoples Army. Disgusting and reprehensible is your lack of responsibility and cluelessness, Mrs. Clinton.
You are right on the money - our leadership has emboldened the NORKs to the point that they have sunk a not-insigificant S. Korean naval combatant and gotten away with it so far. I believe they may be on the cusp of pushing the enevelope too far.
The problem with kowtowing no-nothings like Slick Willy and Obummer is that they tend to over-react if things don’t go their way. I can just picture Obama in the oval office stuptified at the Cheonan sinking inspite of his “good will” gestures to the NORKs.
These types of crisis are difficult enough to manage with 2 rationale actors on either side of the table. With a mentally unstable leader on one side and a no-nothing egomaniac on the other this thing could spin out of control pretty quickly.
