N Korea threatens attacks on USA after being blamed for Sony hacking
Fiscal Times ^ | 12/22/2014 | By Song Jung-a in Seoul

North Korea has warned of strikes against key sites in the US in retaliation for Washington blaming Pyongyang for the recent Sony cyber attack, saying any US punishment over the incident would lead to damage “thousands of times greater”.

Late on Sunday North Korea’s National Defence Commission said President Barack Obama was “recklessly” spreading rumours that Pyongyang was behind the cyber attack. Sony has pulled The Interview , a satirical film depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after the hacking and subsequent threats of terrorist attacks against cinemas that screened it.

The NDC said its 1.2m-member army was ready to use all types of warfare against the US. “Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon, and the whole US mainland, the cesspool of terrorism, by far surpassing the ‘symmetric counteraction’ declared by Obama,” said the NDC statement, carried by official news agency KCNA.

Pyongyang has routinely made similar threats against South Korea and the US during times of confrontation, but the latest hostile rhetoric against Washington underlines Pyongyang’s anger over the movie.

The threat comes as US officials are scrambling to come up with ways to retaliate after the FBI announced on Friday that it believed North Korea was behind the cyber attack against Sony, and warned that it would impose “costs and consequences” on those responsible.

Nope, nope.... Jefferson was a Glock man... I have it on VERY good authority... (one of his “slaves”, you know, the one he “slept” with all the time and had 37.5 children with???) She tollme so...

Madison, on the other hand, preferred the 1911... Had one with Dolly’s picture engraved on the stocks...

S’ all true... Honest!!!!

And don’t get me started on George Washington and his favorite B.A.R... he named it “Petunia”...

(What the hell - if the leftards can re-write history, so can I!!!!)

I used to think the same. But the bottom line for me... The people must be willing to make the sacrifices. They and only they must start the fight, and be willng to die. Then we fly over and drop single shot .45s. Again it’s the will that must change anything else is just a flash in the pan until new grasshoppers move in.

Only my opinion though...

Merry Christmas!
