The reason we are trying to back off is because of the Sequester and the 2011 Pentagon budget cut of $487 Billion - the new Hagel/Obama team has an agenda to gut the Pentagon even further. War threatens that agenda.

I don't want war - I have experienced 3 of them up close and personal. But, as Plato once said:

"Only the dead have seen the end of war."

Hagel gave a speech yesterday, his first major policy public forum since being sworn in as SECDEF. It was a disaster. He signaled his orders from Obama to destroy military budgets, healthcare for active duty, their families and veterans, retirement for our military heroes, weapon systems, civilian and military force strength, and infrastructure.

Hagel tells Pentagon to brace for more cost cutting

The takers of American society will take more. The defenders of America will be betrayed.

IOW, our communist idiot apologizes to their communist idiot. All is well in the world of communist idiots.

[ClearCase_guy]

So ... this is all our fault? We mouthed off and caused North Korea to threaten us with nuclear weapons? If we could just chill out and stop being so American, the world would be a more peaceful place? Is that it?

do NOT taunt Happy FAT Ball...

What a basket case this once great Nation has become! Cowered by the bluffing of a juvenile bully. Where are the adults?

Alternate headline: Obama wimps out, Kim Jung-Un wins.

Yeah, it's like when Nixon was accused of widening the Vietnam War by bombing NVA sanctuaries... in Cambodia! The "media", even then, were too stupid to figure out that the NVA were there first, so if anyone had "widened" the war, it was North Vietnam. But that didn't fit with their scenario of "getting" Nixon.

Wait until you see the size of the check we will send them

Princess Rodman already delivered the message. He wants a personal meeting/concert/party with The One.

[a fool in paradise]

If Obammy would invite the “Child Dictator” to the Man-Child King’s hut to see the Memphis Soul revue featuring Justins Timerlakes and Herself the Queen Latifah, he might be appeased and war could be averted in our time!

[Repulican Donkey]

Insanity! These idiots always find a way to blame the US!

[AmericanInTokyo]

WHAT KIND OF A JACKASS, SELF-REFLECTIVE, CONFESSING/CONTRITE PENTAGON STATEMENT IS THIS!!?? We owe nobody an apology. This is insane.

[sickoflibs]

???

So doesn’t a missile launch create an opportunity for target practice? A real test?

Or is the US scared of publicity if they miss?

[Washi]

U.S. reducing rhetoric that feeds North Korean belligerence

Translated from its native "ObamaButtKissingMedia-ish", this says: "Obama wusses out and becomes Kim Jung Un's bitch".

[DBeers]

Do not worry all who reside on mother earth. The Nobel Peace price recipient will not only save is all from global warming but will as well save is from our evil colonialist white european minority trampling selves who provoke the kind hearted communist North Koreans into simply defending their wholesome way of life.

OB One Homosexy will put on his pink cape, click his ruby red slippers make a few apologies send some 'aid' and all will be right with the world again.

[Jeff Winston]

Hoo boy.

Have you noticed in every photo the generals surrounding Kim Jong-un are 65 y.o. plus. They date from his father’s era and they are dying off. Kim Jong-un needs to test the loyalty of the next crop against heighten military tension...read bluster.. Then he’ll pick the cream of the most devoted and golag or simply execute the rest. It’s a purge, Stalin did it all the time. This is page three in the leftist dictator’s handbook.
