We should've destroyed the Pueblo the week after it was taken.

We should have destroyed the port where they were forcing it to go.

With the 80 F-16s and 15 A-10s in country already I think he already achieved maximum pucker factor. Having the carrier available simply allows PF to achieve critical mass.

In so far as war is something to be avoided when reason can achieve the desired outcome, I hope North Korea isn't foolish enough to take provocative measures.

But deep in my hard little warmongering heart, I hope that mad little fool does give us a reason to turn him into dictator tartar. It's well past time the U.S. Armed Forces were unleashed to lance the pustule of Pyongyang.

Yes, I thank all of you, it was the USS Pueblo that I was thinking of.

At the time I read about it, it bothered me that another country has one of our ships, even a small one.

It is amazing that we have not managed to sink it yet.

I'm glad these maneuvers make them nervous. That's what they're
designed to do.

I don't like to tease the insane who have nuclear bombs.

Nor, do I tease rattlesnakes. (Who can still bite, after you cut off the head and think they are dead).

Truth is that one aircraft carrier scares the living begeezus out of them.

Not to mention the strategic bombers recentl moved to Guam for an extended stay.B-2s to knock back their defenses a bit, then BUFFs to haul in the heavy metal.

[El Gato]

Didn't they manage to capture on of our ships?

The name escapes me. Liberty?

Pueblo. 1968.

Pueblo AGER-2

The Liberty, a ship with a similar signals intelligence gathering mission, was attacked by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats during the '67 war.

Liberty, AGTR-5

The Liberty lost 10 crewman during the attack. The Pueblo lost one, IIRC. The Liberty made it back to port, the Pueblo is still in port, in Won son North Korea.

[El Gato]

We should've destroyed the Pueblo the week after it was taken.

That we could have done.

We should have destroyed the port where they were forcing it to go.

That we had no assets close enough to do....unless we wanted to nuke it. The only aircraft in range where USAF F-4s, on strip alert in South Korea, but they were armed with tactical nukes. They didn't even have any guns that they could have strafed the NK ships boats "escorting" Pueblo into harbor.

[El Gato]

Liberty was the ship bombed by Israel

Torpedoed and shot up as well. But it didn't sink and made it into Malta on it's own power.

[Natural Law]

The little crapweasle can't afford the fuel to react to the exercise.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thank you for finding the photos of the Liberty and the
Pueblo for us to see.

We hear about the Liberty all the time, as it was damaged by the Israeli, but rarely hear about the Pueblo.

More managed news.
