"The White House had a "playbook," agreed to by O, Hagel, and John Kerry, on how to rattle its saber at North Korea during the next crisis without rattling it so much that NK would get spooked and do something rash."

I feel SO much better.

We should publicly announce an attack on South Korea or our allies will be met with a nuclear response on all nuclear military installations. Multiple Multiple Multiple bunker busters should be dropped his suspected residences. END OF Problem.

To respond to an all out attack from North Korea using conventional weapons instead of nukes would cause great loss of life in the South. Many of those lives would be American.

All of which looks mighty suspicious until you realize the CHICOMS moved a hunk of their Army up along the Yalu River (border between Korea and China) ~ the purpose of which is......?

Take your pick:

(1) Back up the Norks?

(2) Make sure the Norks don't think that in case of disaster they can withdraw into the safety of China?

(3) To show off their new tank designs ?

Is there going to some hearing from our Congress to the O admin on the (near) disaster?

Will John Fn Kerry pound the desk and shout "What. Difference. Does. It. Make?"

I agree. There's a story on drudge stating the Chinese have recently refused to send an envoy to Pyongyang, after N Korea refused their envoy at least twice before. China is now demanding N Korea send their envoy to China, and they are apparently not happy. If Obama is smart he'll ratchet down the blustering and let China take N Korea to the woodshed.

I say this, if I was president and some fool dictator like this said his government has authorized merciless nuclear attacks on my country, then his country would cease to exist.

Why not let them land ground forces in the US and then they will have to turn in all their “icky” black assault rifles and high cap magazines and we will shame them all the way back to Nork? (insert evil diabolical laugh track...)

the white house is still closed to the public, it seems the free loaders from Chicago think our house which we pay for is their house now.

Course the media is going to be on this and their spending in droves, oh wait what media, hell even FOX can’t mention this anymore.

This is outrageous and nothing but a class of kids from IO actually saying and doing something

“Just put up a sign saying “This is a nuke free zone”.”

The residents of Stockton CA need to do this. Last night Leno recommended NK nuke Stockton.

the way this administration has been doing all of it’s foreign policy is disturbing.
It’s been one after the other balls up but of course the free loading thugs do have the lapdog corrupt white house media and they have more pressing issues , oh like parties, concerts, dining at our house which we pay for but we’re not allowed in and yet again where the hell is THE FRIGGING GOP.

Oh yea they’re too busy telling millions of the base to accept the homosexual marriage and their twisted perverted agenda

Look for this or any future ‘crisis’ with the No. Koreans as an excuse to take away (what’s left)of the rights of the law-abiding American citizens.

And maybe use the Constitution to light 0’s cigar.

Our joint exercise Foal Eagle ends about 30 April, so look for more and more extreme antics by NK until then.

No ammunition has been released to NK ground units.

Somethings cooking on the China-NK border, a Chinese fighter penetrated NK airspace and overflew most of the border on 21 March. However, most of the Chinese ground units that moved to the border, have pulled back to their garrisons.

China delivered no crude to NK in February or March, for the first time in 39 months, looks like a pressure play.

If NK starts up their mothballed reactors, it would take many years to produce weapons plutonium, no threat there. NK only has enough plutonium for about 6 weapons and their blast yields todate have been very weak.

One thing of note, all the NK war posturing to date has been made by civil, government officials, not the NK military officials.

When NK has done that in the past, it has allowed NK deniability and an easy way to walk backwards as they can claim that the government was just preparing the people for martial law.

Any truth to the ‘rumor’ that Kim’s favorite movie is “The Mouse that Roared?”

Again, Hollywood scooped the world when a pesky wart on the back of a fruit fly is calling the shots.

This clown BO makes J Carter look more like a genius (in comparison) when it comes to Foreign Policy and Common Sense.

Guess BO ‘giving back’ 5% is the equivalent of JC turning down the thermostat and wearing a Cardigan Sweater.

This reminds me of watching one of those WWI documentaries where all the European power stumbled, bumbled and fumbled their way in a global bloody mess. I just hope the Chinese pick their leaders more wisely than we do.

The White House had a “playbook,”

Wrong it has a coloring book.

Obama just dropped his pant for Little Kim and showed how easily he can be intimidated. What a total wimp. The North Koreans weren’t going to fire a single bullet, but President Wieney Boy started quaking in his boots and backed down from showing the North Korean criminal regime they cannot shake their fists and cause the world to fear. I knew the little boy in the White House would blow this one too. It’s year 5 of Amateur Hour at the White House.
