N. Korea fires artillery towards S. Korean island, official says
SEOUL, Nov. 23 (Yonhap) -- North Korea on Tuesday fired several rounds of artillery towards South Korean waters and an island near the tense west sea border, the South's military said.
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.

“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy,” said Biden to a roomful of donors. “The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.”
“Remember I said it standing here, if you don’t remember anything else I said,” Biden continued. “Watch, we’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
“I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it’s going happen. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate.”
“It will bother them if NoKo refugees start overrunning their borders.”
China can be very brutal when it wants to. I would expect them to just slaughter the refugees on the border. But NoKo is too much of a thorn in our side for China to take them over.
I just read a snippet that the S. Koreans may be asking the US for some nukes.
I think they should consider asking for some help from Israel who is becoming a bit more vocal than normal.
Does Obama even know about it yet or has he told them to leave him alone while he eats his pancakes?
Now he can go golfing. lol
“China is North Korea’s most important ally; biggest trading partner; and main source of food, arms, and fuel. China has helped sustain Kim Jong-Il’s regime and opposed harsh international economic sanctions in the hope of avoiding regime collapse and an uncontrolled influx of refugees across its eight-hundred-mile border with North Korea.”
It’s no bother to China....it’s an opportunity. That way, when millions of North Koreans go missing......They won’t be found in China.
Could have sworn there were experts here on FreeRepublic who claimed to have been nuclear weapons handlers, who said we did not have any tactical nukes available. That was back when a lot of people were suggesting using tactical nukes to get Bin Laden hiding in the Hills of Afghanistan.
Perhaps that situation has changed since then ?
“North Korea is a tiny country and no threat to the United States.”
NK fires on SK.....SK retaliates....limited to moderate conflaguration on the Korean peninsula. If the US does NOT help its ROK allies....Look for: EVERYONE to be emboldened to attack allies of NATO/US. OBAMA YOU PIECE OF SHIT WIMP! You'll see Iran burn off a low yield nuke. You'll see Iranian Republican Guard in Afghanistan killing NATO and US troops. You'll see Indonesia and India (foes of China) backing away from SEATO/US and cozying up with China. You'll see more brushfire wars in Central Africa, esp. Kenya/Congo with more and more AlQueda types proping up. You'll see Yemen export terrorism into more brazen attacks. You'll probably see Syria/Lebanon attack Israel with tacit support from other Arab countries. Hell, even Turkey might get involved. Russia may take the REST of Georgia or other CIS states. You'll see FARC and other narco-commie forces make strides and gains in South America. GAWD....the list is endless....our wet paper sack president is AWOL, probably on a cocaine high while our allies are getting SHELLED.....Does it make you feel better that Chewbacca, the mother in law, Biden, Pelosi, Axlerod or Valarie Jarrett are the ones answering the phone>
Nail on the head. I was thinking the same when I rec'd a call from on of my Korean masters( martial arts master currently in SK reserves) early this AM. I was trying to explain to him in some optimism but he brought up what translates Omama as "limp dicked." I had to laugh in a sad, angry way and thought of your above scenarios. We don't know God's timing in this but this is really a mess.
I told him to prepare, to pray and move his family to Pusan with his cousins for awhile because the first hit from NK would most probably be Seoul and the airport. Later, as you stated, many many flare ups will begin as America will not be able to quell all the fires and countries such as Israel, possibly a more tactical move with Russie moving farther into Georgia( EZ 38-39 ..like a hook in their jaws) as Syria starts an attack, more Wahabi money into Africa to murder Christians.
Eh, forget it, I agree, this could be madness and no I do not have any faith, none at all the czars and Commander in waffling will do much but screw this up big time. Meanwhile we have a war right on our own Southern border which congress needs to vote on. It's all spinning...out...of....control!
Funny but true. Seems Obama is already backing out( listenig to Fox) playing diplomatic, blah blah, no problems here..blah blah, we’ll resumes talks in a few weeks, hem haw, BS! Gads, maybe Hillary can loan him one of her balls.
South Korea Says There May Be North Korean Casualties
SEOUL, South Korea (November 23, 2010)--South Korea said there could be a considerable number of casualties, from its response to North Korea's shelling of an island near their disputed border Tuesday.
I agree. If you're aiming for targets on an island you should be able to at least hit the island with EVERY round.
So is barry soetorro up to the task? He’s been a sorry ass failure thus far.
I wonder this is Chia Pet way saying to Chia Chub his son SON this how you mess with the west when you have wuss as US President that what I think
I agree. If you’re aiming for targets on an island you should be able to at least hit the island with EVERY round.
.............................................................................................................................Without a forward observer they might have just bracketed the island.
Those North Koreans are crazy!!!!!!
At least one person killed.
Bambi thinks we can absorb another attack so why would our forces in SK be any different? What a joke we have that is turning into anything but a joke....
Just Now vai Twitter mark knoller
On Air Force One, a spokesman described Pres Obama as “outraged” by North Korea’s attack on the South.
