U.S. would seek regime change in North Korea if attack occurs
Washington Times ^ | 4/4/13 | Rowan Scarborough

The U.S. would oust the communist regime in North Korea if it uses its nuclear weapons or launches an all-out invasion on South Korea and the 28,500 American troops stationed there, national security sources say.

The Obama administration has not articulated such a far-reaching retaliation, even as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un threatens to attack both the South Korean and the U.S. mainland.

But national security sources say it is a common assumption within the Pentagon and U.S. Pacific Command that a full-force attack by Pyongyang would put in place a contingency plan of massive retaliation against the North aimed at bringing down the Stalinist regime. President Obama then would be faced with making the war decision.

Oh really? Wonder what the Constitution says about that?

Declarations of War have to originate in the House of Representatives.

I want a regime change in the USA too and I’m not waiting for an attack to occur.

The 28,000 US troops in Korea would be casualties within the first 48 hours of an all-out North Korean attack on South Korea


Does anyone know how many American military dependents are in SK?

NK military hats are based on “big hat” military head gear from the Rooskies.

The only reason Obama would attack NK is if Crazy Kim tries to install a free enterprise capitalist economy.

SEEK?

I doubt it!

But I DO think we might create an opening for the high office!

—— Obama promised NEVER to use nukes. ——

I believe him.

While he might be saddened by an attack on California, he’d be content with an attack on Texas.

Obama promised NEVER to use nukes.

With today's advanced aiming techniques; there is really not much use for them, except to destroy large parts of a nations population.

And what will we do when the 24,000,000 souls, having been trapped in a concentration for 50 years, start rushing southward in search of a decent meal?

Ask West Germany. They managed to absorb and re-educate those from the East when the wall came down.

If war comes look to see 50 million Mexicans rushing back to old Mexico out of fear of radiation and the draft—a lot of lefties will be heading to Sweden, Canada, Mexico and points south to keep from being drafted. MSNBC will have no hosts for their shows. Look to see Obama take permanent control and a one party state emerge.
