I was just going to post this, but I see I’ve been beaten to the punch -

President Lee Myung-bak is quoted as saying “I think enormous retaliation is going to be necessary to make North Korea incapable of provoking us again.”

It does appear that the rhetoric coming out of Lee’s office the past couple hours is getting more, not less bellicose. If he doesn’t watch out, he is going to back himself into a corner.

Obumbum and Hu can pontificate all they want. Escalation in that corner of the world can/will be hard to contain once the ball starts rolling in the wrong direction.

I knew it had to be some kind of misquote.

South Korea (AP) - SKorean president says South will unleash 'enormous retaliation' should NKorea attack again.

So it is still just another threat if they attack again, according to AP.

After: color shade is different but you can definitely see black cloud(smoke) over and around the island
