US/S.KOREA has joint commando rescue plan for S. Korea workers stuck on N. Korean side at Kaesong

This is a link to the original Japanese story just now.

Rather sketchy and breaking, but will synopsize main points into English as thus:

There is the large Kaesong Industrial Complex in North Korea for manufacturing products, which is just across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) from the truce village of Panmunjom, jointly run by North and South Korea. You can clearly see this development from overlook vantage points on hills located around Panmunjom. There are a number of South Korean managers and employers there on-site as we speak. At this time, they are apparantly not free to leave.

N. Korea is threatening to cut the surface roads into this complex and close the border crossing. For all intents and purposes they could prevent the South Koreans from leaving and thus creating a hostage/human shield situation right on the DMZ just 60 minutes north of Seoul.

Conservative, Japanese Sankei News via Japanese Kyodo Wire via Yonhap (South Korean) news is revealing the following facts tonight (Read below), along with pictures and overview maps I supply.

Well if they ARE listening in on Free Republic from Pyongyang, then indeed I have THIS to say directly to them as well!!;-)

I have noticed the absence of “Go home Yankee” rallies in Seoul lately.

I hope we have intelligence assets in SK that are worth the treasure and, now, probably blood that will be paid for them.

I bet we wouldn’t do ANYTHING about it, if they became hostages. Those people are on their own, for better or for worse.

[Alter Kaker]

The US armed forces in Korea have always been hostages. There are only about 20,000 — a joke against 1,000,000+ North Koreans. The reason US troops are there to force the US to intervene with real numbers in order to protect them if the North Koreans ever invade. They are political insurance for the South Koreans. But the 20,000? They’re cannon fodder and every President knows it.

Karma is a strange beast indeed. Korea was way before my time, but I was unaware there was massive “ungratefulness” (as you claim) to the United States in the regard of war.
