The North's artillery shells fell at 2:34 p.m. in the South's waters off the island of Yeonpyeong, some of them landing directly on the island, said Col. Lee Bung-woo, spokesman at the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff. The South's military responded with its artillery firing.

Just once. Just once, I wish I could see the look on Kimmy’s face if we hit back hard. He won’t be such a big man, then.

Ever-opportunistic Lee Myung-bak: will he stand up or back down again?

I know his feeble heart beats furiously now. There goes his dream for inter-Korean Summit which he thought he can buy with half a million ton of rice.

Let us know when they announce ROK on extreme alert basis and if ROK retaliates on a DPRK asset near the DMZ.

Some nation’s leaders on planet earth are just begging for a little “shock and awe”.

Sadly, they know this president will never do anything like that.
