As an Air Force intel buddy of mine says, "If they even look like they're about to launch, we'll hammer them so hard".

At least until if and when another democrat becomes President.

Oh, I don't know about that. LA would be one of the first places to go and the democrats couldn't have a big source of cash and propaganda go up in smoke, now could they?

Despite Jimmy (khomeni is a saint) Carter being president at the time, the commander of the task force off of the Iranian coast at the time of the hostage crisis said that if the hostages were harmed "there will be a second sunrise in Tehran."

I like that thinking.

The only plus for the North Koreans is their absolute dedication...after that, its all minus. They can't sustain a modern day attack into the south. They can't cope with US air to air capability. They can't feed their own people during any period of contingency.

I am of the mind that Little Kim doesn't really run things, and that most of the command staff of old geezers are the real leadership front. Kim may think he is in charge, but these generals probably lead him around and ensure he is saying precisely what they want.
