US warned of 'imminent' nuclear peril

Perhaps "war" is the wrong term if you're just thinking about NK vs. US. But do you sacrifice Seoul? Japan? NK has literally thousands of missiles that can hit Seoul, do you not think they'll be launched if any missile (ours or somebody else's) hits the reactor? Do you call that bluff?

NK and its 1 million man army will declare war on on US, SK (and probably Japan just for kicks) if we do that. They might not be able to touch us, but that doesn't mean it won't be ugly. That's why I think that if we're prepared to hit the reactor, we'd better also be prepared to take out everything else.

No doubt, Iraq was definitely the easiest sell to Joe American for a good reason; these guys were dangerous. Where to you think the Anthrax came from that was spread around post 9/11?

NK is the big problem now. As I said earlier, I do not pretend to have a solution.

Iran will take care of itself, with a little help.

Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Saudia Arabia better get their house in order as there is a big 800 pound gorilla sitting in Iraq waiting for them to screw up.

Battling terrorists in not a short term propsition. These vermin will have to be slowly weeded out and emlimnated where ever they hide. You can't reason with them or get them to like you. They have to be terminated, terminated with extreme prejudice. That is the only thing they understand.

You've just blasphemed Freeper Sinophobe Canon Law #1: The ChiComs, being "inscrutable Orientals," are working on a long-range master plan to defeat America that can only be defeated by building a massive arsenal that risks national bankruptcy.

lol Some friends of mine and I were talking about this last week. We know from documents that we've interpreted into English (that are a part of the Congressional record, btw), that China does indeed have a "master plan." The problem for them is that they are so rooted in traditionalism and following their long-term plans that they are not able to keep up with the rapid changes in the political/military map that are a simple fact in 20th-21st Century geopolitics. I think the NK situation may be one of those long term plans in which the situation suddenly changed on them.

Maybe its time for the US to have a chat w/ them and give them the green light!

How sure are you of this? Would you bank the future of the US or the entire West for that matter on your assumption. Ever heard of or read Dr. Vincent Pry?
