I wonder if South Korea’s reluctance to back sanctions against Iran is playing a role here? I would think it very unlikely - in all probability, this is a concession to China - but not impossible. Obama has sent “tune up” messages to allies before, after all (enjoying those DVD’s Mr. Brown?).

Teaching the Chinese how to act like civilized human beings at the global level is going to be even harder than teaching the moslems. And we have a president who doesn't even know the lesson plan.

That's right. Treat them like a superpower, they will be happy to act like one.

Yes. "Cooperation" from China is a fricking pipe dream. Bush had them right early on when he said they are not partners, they are rivals. Another reason to miss Bush, if you will.

[Art.] “The U.S. has several issues in which it needs cooperation from China such as sanctioning Iran and pushing North Korea toward denuclearization,” said Jun Byoung-kon, a China expert at the Korea Institute for National Unification.

Uhhh, yeah .... uh, I've been meaning to ask ......

Erwin Rommel once said that learning is a lot easier than re-learning. Just ran across that one in my Patton biography last night.

Obama gets a new name: Old Yellow Stains.

Appropriate that this takes place in the Yellow Sea.

“Teaching the Chinese how to act like civilized human beings at the global level is going to be even harder than teaching the moslems. And we have a president who doesn’t even know the lesson plan.”

If by “civilized human beings” you meant humble subordinates of the American empire, then I think it will be very difficult indeed. The Chinese doesn’t bow down to any nation.

They certainly don’t bow down to countries which, require huge loans on a regular basis and buy huge amounts of necessities from them, just to survive. Such countries are dependent upon them.

An initial plan to mobilize the 97,000-ton aircraft career in the drill, scheduled to be held in the Yellow Sea early next month, drew strong protest from China, leading some to worry about a physical confrontation between the world’s superpowers.

Good idea on our part; considering the SIZE of their Navy vs Ours!

And when was it decided that China is now a ‘superpower’, and who decided it?

“Carrier to avoid drill in Yellow Sea(Obama caves)”

As expected. Was there ever any doubt he would cave?

The official stressed that the drill is defensive by nature and is designed to send a message of deterrence to North Korea.

I think "deference", rather than "deterrence", would be more correct.
