Landslide Vote! S. Korea Parliament Votes To Send 700 Military/Medics To Help USA In Iraq (Breaking)

Not long ago the word was--we might pull back and reduce our force in S. Korea, since they didn't really want us there any more.

Then N. Korea starts flexing some rhetoric.

Bottom line: S. Korea knows which side its bread is buttered on -- and who provides the butter.
