“...and others say “Obliterate Communism”....”

Well, at least there’s SOMEBODY left in the world who wants to fight the Red bastards and believes in “better make the Red Dead, than BE Red...”

We used to be that way once upon a time...now, we elect them...

“...I deliver a better pic of the R.O.K. F-16 Ks over Seoul recently...”

RE photo in Post 177:
Those are F15 Eagles in the pic, not F16 Falcons...

" ... they could well take Richardson, Blitzer and the others hostage in Pyongyang, and state that it is for their own "safety". "

That would be too good to be true.
