Nope. Barry Soetoro will not bomb NK because he doesn’t want to kill innocent civilians.

Beijing might.

What happens?

Hussein al-Obama slaps some North Korean on the hand and cringes as South Korea is invaded.

Then he declares martial law to ‘meet the crisis’, nullifies the constitution and declares himself president for life.

Does South Korea have its own nukes? Are they able to make their own decision whether to use them or not?

If it were any other president than Obama, I would be pretty confident that we would retaliate with all due force, but with this guy in the White House?

And, just as back in the 1950’s, the question is, what will China do if we did hit back hard? Would we even need nukes to take the NK’s out militarily? Wouldn’t a couple of well-placed bunker busters do the trick?

Are the people of North Korea Islamic? ....I rest my case. He would bomb them just for a photo op.

He wants to get rid of millions of starving people he does not want.

I wonder what they think when they see all the fatsos in the government.
