North Korea Likely To Launch 'A Relatively Small Attack (shorten)
Business Insider ^ | 4/4/13 | Geoffrey Ingersoll

Posted on 04/04/2013 7:52:18 PM PDT by Kartographer

The most probable outcome of all these tensions is a low-level "tactical" strike from North Korea. But don't worry, it'll be "a relatively small attack that won’t leave many people dead," Sue Mi Terry, a Columbia University professor who served as a senior analyst on North Korea at the CIA from 2001 to 2008, told Wired's Spencer Ackermann.

It is something to worry about, however even China may be running out of patience with the Kim dynasty. Depending on how the events unfloded, China just might set this one out. Given the choice between a nuclear armed North Korea run by the Kim dynasty with its Russian influences and a non-nuclear ROK in control of the peninsula, China just might go for the non-nuclear neighbor with no Russian ties.

Then again, there is that whole Communist solidaity issue to muddle up the problem. Given that issue, China would probably like to see an ultimate stalemate in which a Communist North Korea beholden to China survives, but without the nuclear weapons arsenal and without a Kim dynasty causing trouble.

the sinking of the Cheonan or the bombardment of Yeonpyeong island.

I've not heard a plausible explanation for the non response to those war like events. Is there one? Should we expect anything different if a new attack occurs? What will obama do? Perhaps send a strong objecting letter to the North?

For sure. She’s as evil as they get.

It’s amazing that the sheep can’t see through her. But that’s what spiritual warfare is all about.

LOL, it needs music!

...........

Hillie and the Hand Jive

♫ I know a cat named Way Down Willie
Got a cool little chick named Rocking Hillie
He can walk and stroll and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too ♫

♫ Mama, Mama, look at uncle Joe
Doin' the hand jive with sister Mo
Grandma gave baby sister a dime
Said do that hand jive one more time ♫

♫ Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive ♫

♫ Doctor an' a lawyer an' an Indian chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way Down Willie gave 'em all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet ♫

♫ Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive ♫

...With apologies to ERIC CLAPTON

I concur —the attack will be fierce but small and limited. The people who will get hurt the most are in South Korea. They need to win a victory or two—even if it costs many soldiers to do so. Think Yom Kipper War and Sadat of Egypt. He lost war and won the peace. He got back the Sinai on the peace table.

Yep, they love her - but they love Obozo too.
If she runs I can revive my hundreds of graphics from the “Clinton years”, lol.

Combined that with the fact that it’s been reported that North Korea have a few medium range sub launch capable missiles and ...well use your imagination.

The word seems to be that it is dead, tumbling out of control. Just waiting for the orbit to decay enough for it to re-enter and burn up.

I think only one was launched by them. IIRC they’ve put payloads on other launch systems or purchased commercial birds. But these would be benign. Their one native bird seems to be dead and tumbling.

I've got a shopping trip planned with my daughter on Monday. It would be inconvenient if it fell near here. Especially if it had a nuke in it. ;)
