The first 2012 GOP U.S. Presidential candidate to fly to Seoul, South Korea and deliver a major, televised, anti-Obama/anti-Gates/anti-Six Party charade/anti-DPRK regime talk, and present a bold, clarion, forward-thinking, policy-based "Axis of Evil" type address, in my mind, sets the stage and wins the Golden Prize. In this current environment, and with this US President, it must be done, sooner than later.

I predict that, if he steps in, Ambassador John Bolton will be the first. But Palin could fly there as well, first, and I could be wrong. For either of them, a) such a major speech denouncing Kim Jong il/Kim Jong un and Appeasement; and b) a trip to the DMZ to support front line ROK and US troops, would go very far.

Any campaign assistants/advisors/brain trusts out there listening!!?????

Gate's comments pretty much ruined my day. I regret opening my browser and surfing the net. Then, just a moment ago, I turned on the TV, and saw Bob Gates deliver the same sentence in the article, that is, "With regard to next steps on North Korea, diplomatic engagement is possible, starting with direct engagement between DPRK and the South."

He is looking at SK's Defense Minister as if he were having conversation, but he sounded more like reading out pre-scripted talking points, as if to make sure every word is delivered right. So this is not a talk slipped out while they are doing some freewheeling conversation. This was deliberate "premeditated" comment. On the other hand, SK Defense Minister reiterated demand for NK's apology on Cheonan's sinking and Yeonpyeong shelling. That helped a bit, but not by much.

On Internet, the commies are already out in force jeering SK gov for not budging.
