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.

I guess the special emergency negotiations are going smoothly.

Yep. In response to yesterday’s announcement by the South that they would introduce tactical nukes to counter advanced North Korean light water reactor nuclear processing plant revealed by Dr. Hecker and sat photographs.

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.

“The U.S. is now at the crossroads of engagement and pressure, and sanctions are clearly not working,” said Yang Moo Jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul. The Obama approach to North Korea “has done nothing but bolster North Korea’s nuclear capabilities,” he said.

Now N. Korea is pulling out artillery tubes near Baekryong Island in addition to the one near Yonpyong Island. They reportedly show signs of preparation for shelling. It is not clear at this point if it is merely a bluff or not. However, more shelling could come and Baekryong Island may be also under fire.

"북, 백령도 인근 해안포 기지도 이상징후"

(서울=연합뉴스) 김귀근 기자 = 북한군이 연평도에 이어 백령도 인근의 해안포 기지에서도 발사 태세를 보여 군 당국이 면밀히 주시하고 있는 것으로 알려졌다.

정부의 한 소식통은 23일 "연평도 일원에서 북한의 해안포 사격이 소강 상태인 가운데 백령도 인근의 해안포 기지에서도 포 진지를 개방하는 등 이상징후가 포착되어 북한 동향을 예의주시하면서 대비태세를 강화있다"고 밝혔다.

Look at the bright side: The North Koreans are firing from a fixed artillery position at a target they've had pinpointed for years. Even so, it's looking like less then half the rounds fired by the North have hit their target.

I like this comment and response on the Daily Mail website concerning this latest episode with the North:

Why does the free world put up with this odious little nation and it's evil regime?

- Nototheleft, London, 23/11/2010 07:15

Because it's supported and encouraged by the bordering odious large country and it's evil regime.

It seems odd that it’s the “economic impact” of being attacked that’s on their mind.

But then, the world’s gone mad.
