WASHINGTON The Obama administration is saying that the sinking of a South Korean warship blamed on North Korea was not terrorism, and not enough by itself to put the Pyongyang back on a U.S. terror blacklist.
The State Department said Monday that the March sinking of the frigate Cheonan was a "provocative action" and a violation of the truce that ended the Korean war. But it added that the sinking by a reported North Korean torpedo strike was the act of one state's military against another.

I agree, the sinking of the sub was an act of war.

It wasn’t terrorism. It was an act of war to which South Korea should respond.

Who cares if it’s terrorism?
It’s an act of war!

I read stuff coming out of DC and am convinced they are all “on the marijuana.” Nobody could be serious about this crap!
No, it’s not an “act of terror” or a “provocative act in violation of the 1953 cease fire.”
Call it what it is! An ACT OF WAR!

It’s an act of war, but we only have a war on terror (WOT), which by the way, we don’t say anymore. So to consider this a threat we would have to have a war on war (WOW), which by the way, if we did have a WOW, we would not be saying that either.

I would like to fore a North Korean torpedo in the general direction of the gaping sphincter we have as a supposed president.
It was not terror, it was an act of war to which the USA did not respond. That means we are losing our sphere of influence ALL over the Eastern Rim of the Pacific.
The South Koreans must be apoplectic.

With all the money the North Koreans are saving on spin doctors by having the US gov’t do the work, they should be able to feed their people for decades.

Acts of war committed by a nation are usually not terrorism.

For once I agree with Barry. The NORKS’ attack has simply resumed the Korean War.
