Obama’s 1:00am phone call. I bet it happened on the first night he went to bed early. No word from the White House. So, you know he’s waiting for someone else to condemn the attack first.

But this can't be happening. Obama just visited there a few days ago and the world loves him. /sarcasm

Hopefully this isn't the winner of the understatement of the century award;

If I was a foreign leader after meeting with Obama’s people I would probably start a war too.

Has NK decided this is the ‘now or never’ moment?

Isn't this the very definition of WAR?

Pray and prepare, this could escalate quickly, with very adverse consequences!
