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.

"President Lee instructed (the military) to strike North Korea's missile base near coastline artillery position if necessary... if there in an indication of further provocation," the spokeswoman said.

Clinton is working on her “south Korea aggression” speech for the UN.

[whershey]

Won't ever happen. SK already backed down on the placement of tactical nukes which is what China and NK wanted. He knows it and this is just damage control.

The only good thing I see coming out of this whole mess is maybe waking up a few more people to how Obama’s foreign policy is placing us in more and more danger.

What’s all the talk? Just do it, Myunbak.

Obama will crap his pants and nothing more will happen. Kim could march through Seoul or nuke Hawaii and Obama would be too stinking gutless to respond.

Why wait?

[vladimir998]

He’s just talking about it because they’re not actually going to do it.

Don’t worry, our boy-man president will be on the golf course or eating ice cream if you need to reach him.

Kim could march through Seoul or nuke Hawaii<<<<

I don’t like the sounds of that! My son is stationed in
Hawaii and deploys to Japan.

the SoKos are really angry now. If the Norkies aren’t careful, the SoKos shall taunt them a second time and fart in their general direction.

If he actually intended to do it I really don’t think he would have announced it.

Oh no, not that!

Few people in the west have ever seen Multiple-Fold Retaliation, also known as "Death by Origami". Believe me, you won't want to ever see it again.

The tough talk is not working. 2 killed 17 injured moments ago...

Obama could not be reached for comment as he is still curled up in a fetal ball with his woobie.

[sand lake bar]

Every comment so far is spot on target and priceless to boot!

[BobP]

Don't give this turkey or his father a pass.
