Mr Bush needs to grow a big pair of you know what, this is turning into the biggest joke ever. The psycho in North Korea just tested a nuclear weapon and our response is "We won't attack you". Mr bush please pull our troops out of Korea, they don't need to be sitting ducks to this mad man.

Close 'em off. Completely. Get Japan and South Korea on board (shouldn't be hard) as well as China (might be tougher.)

When was the last time we attacked anyone for testing a nuke?

HEADLINE IS ALL WRONG!!!!!
Read story again: >WASHINGTON - President Bush called Wednesday for stiff sanctions on North Korea for its reported nuclear test and asserted that the United States has "no intentions of attacking" the reclusive regime.
In a Rose Garden news conference, Bush said the United States remains committed to diplomacy, but also "reserves all options to defend our friends in the region."
-end of prior story-
Translation to "Texas Speak"
In "Diplomacy Speak" "no intentions" means we're not going to do it today, and maybe not tomorrow, but we are 1/10 millimeter away from doing something militarily to FU up real bad.
"Reserves all options" = We can do anything we want
"Defend friends in region" = And we can do it just because we feel like it.
This is by no means an easy msg for DPRK.

That is probably waht we will do.
Any military action by us first will be World War III or VI, whatever you want to call the next massive world conflict.
It would be horrific.

Does anyone remember, after his speech right after 9/11, when Bush mentioned "The axis of evil, Iraq,
Iran and North Korea?"...and the left completely soiled their shorts over that comment?
Bush knew it then...of course, the focus has been the WOT in Iraq since then (aside from the multilateral talks with NK) , but now they're raising a stink about Bush "ignoring" NK?
How pathetically typical of the left! If these people weren't so dangerous if they ever regained complete power in this country, it would be laughable to even consider them seriously.

Sorry friend, but no way will Annan and his white wife return to ghana for any more than a visit.
Now to the point of this Post:
How come all of a sudden the UN wants the US to have face to one on one talks with n Korea. Arent they the ones who say we do things without their permission? Arent they saying we act on our own too much. Is Annan that frightened of Kim Jung that he has to agree with the craziest bastard to ever lead a country??
IMO the UN should not wait to elect a new leader, they should ship kofi cakes out with tar and feathers.

Where did I mention anything about attacking the North? Pull the troops out, let the south deal with this mad man. Maybe your in favor of psychotic morons with nuclear weapons who knows.

Once the ChiComs act on our perceived weakness, what then? Send the troops back in?

I will probably be flamed for this, but why not go ahead and talk with Lil'Kim one on one? Why not have a bourbon and rice and lay out the true picture for Kim? Man to man, mano a mano. It's like this, Kim. You starve your own people and now are destabilizing the region. We have no desire to kick your ass, but rest assured we can and we will if you push this too far. Have another spring roll there Kim, I'll have one too. So you like fast cars and James Bond movies? Well Kim, it's been nice but I gotta go. Don't forget, we have missiles targeted on you at all times. Anything flies over Japan or South Korea, we might just get twitchy. Thanks for the good time.

Bush could invite Kim Jong Il to the White House for 1 on 1 talks.

The modern liberal is able to simulataneously decry Bush for going it alone in Iraq and not going it alone with North Korea.
What liberals really want is situations where the US is at a disadvantage, but they're not honest enough to say that.

I will probably be flamed for this, but why not go ahead and talk with Lil'Kim one on one? Because China holds almost all the leverage here. Which means one-on-one talks would be all carrot and no stick for NK, which is exactly what Kim wants.

Meanwhile from the AP...
"Along the razor-wired no-man's-land separating the divided Koreas, communist troops were more boldly trying to provoke their southern counterparts: spitting across the demarcation line, making throat-slashing hand gestures, flashing their middle finger and trying to talk to the troops, said U.S. Army Maj. Jose DeVarona of Fayetteville, N.C., adding that the overall situation was calm."
