I am sure when China attacks us...Obozo will just say it is a one-time event and Hillary will rush a “RESET” button over to China.
Of course they will TWEET their verbal warnings so they make a bigger impact on China...
i never understood these conventional wars/shellings when everyone is warming up the nukes
whats the point exactly

Neither. This is a face-saving public remark that everyone knows is fairly meaningless. The US/SK exercise was planned long ago and will take place hundreds of miles from China's economic territories.
On a side note, the number of freepers clamoring for war is pathetic (I do not include you). There would be nothing good short, mid or long term from an Asian war. Just death and global economic upheaval.
“Lets get it on.”
What would really get China’s attention would be to start shifting sourcing to countries like Taiwan and India. There must be overseas markets with labor pools large enough to take a bite out of our China imports.
The armada will be “diverted” because of some manufactured crisis.
Maybe a mall arrent in Omaha.
lol...
What we are watching is the formal stepping down of the US as a world super power and ceding this role to China.
Be thankful that President Soros hasn't yet ordered the surrender of the USS George to the Chinese in the same way that 'W' handed over a recon plane for them to steal. We didn't complain when they held our service men hostage, whats a few thousand sailors held hostage by China now?
Let’s see, how many Chinese submarines need to submerge, never to rise again, just to equal the Cheonan?
The Chinese have a whole bunch of submarines.

If they think they can be aggressive by proxy, perhaps it is time for them to understand that they may think they can act with impunity, but the reality is that the ocean is wide and deep, and at 400 fathoms, everybody can hear you crush.
Believe it or not, I once got a nasty split lip from a fish. While deep sea fishing off the coast of Baja California. Hardly anyone believes me when I tell them that story. Everyone just assumes a deckhand smacked me one :>
Do you still think the Chinese have a one mile wide rocket?
I sure hope you aren’t one of the FR critters who criticized Sarah Palin on North Korea....
Has the eminent Secretary of State with presidential ambitions been on the scene lately
Those food boycotts just do not work. I have committed myself to stop eating Mexican Food now about 4 times. Usually last about 2 days each time. That Fresh Mex is always calling.
Obama has already told the world we can absorb another 9/11 style attack, so there! Ha! How ya like me now!
Or what, exactly?
Anyone know what ships those are in Post #41?
I see the four attack subs in front and the carrier, but what are the others?
YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea — The Pentagon Friday defended upcoming U.S.-South Korean naval exercises from criticism by China, saying the drills were aimed at deterring North Korea from another attack.
A Pengaton spokesman said it was "important" to state publicly that the exercises were "not directed at China."
