S. Korea may strike N. Korea’s missile base: President Lee
SEOUL, Nov. 23 (Yonhap) — President Lee Myung-bak ordered his military Tuesday to strike North Korea’s missile base around its coastline artillery positions if it shows signs of additional provocation, his spokeswoman said.
In a video conference with Gen. Han Min-koo, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the president ordered “multiple-fold retaliation” against the North for its artillery attack on a South Korean island, according to presidential spokeswoman Kim Hee-jung.
Will it show such sign in the next few days? The guy should just shut up, draw up reprisal plan with U.S. and carry it out without announcement. Do it any other way could be just a show, all talk, no bite.
-——if ——
Wasn’t there a report from earlier this morning stating that there were indications the KPA was readying additional artillery units that could target Seoul?
Wouldn’t that classify as a “provocation”.
What is news to me is that Lee is saying a “provocation” will be enough to bring forth a strike, don’t necessarily need another DPRK attack at this point.
