Panic as Kim plots nuclear crisis to an ancient strategy

Kim Jong-Il would be ill advised to try anything during the invasion of Iraq. George W. Bush has shown a penchant for remembering who crosses him, and making them sorry they ever did.

So, if we drop a nuke on them the same night we hit Iraq, we can blame it on them messing up a test?

[Credo]

You know we haven't done a nuclear test in a while. DPRK looks like a good place to do that.

Dear President Bush: Stay on target.

[BlackJack]

Scary stuff for sure. Thanks for the post.

"Kim could rattle nerves by test-firing a ballistic missile, as he did in 1998, when a Taepodong-type projectile flew over Japan. "

Shoot the SOB down!!

Kim is a child.

If this test occurs, the first thing Bush should do is announce that he will make an emergency trip to Tokyo to consult with the Japanese Prime Minister and his Cabinet.

While there, the President should deliberately insist on Japan's right to self-defense.

At the same time, the Prime Minister should announce that a Navy Bill will be submitted to the Diet for consideration and Imperial Rescript.

Six carriers of the CVNX class should be included in that bill. The President should announce that the United States understands that present conditions require Japan to see to the safety of its people, and that the United States Navy will assist in planning and maneuvers for Japan's projected new fleet.

In a single stroke, all of Beijing's plots and plans would go down the tubes. All because of a vainglorious, spoiled little nutcase of a man who can't leave his palace without wearing elevator shoes.

Be Seeing You,

Oh no. The Dear Leader, having read Sun Tzu, is a twenty-foot tall Master Strategist. We are DOOMED.

"Strong’s investigation highlighted warnings that a cut-off in American and Japanese fuel and food aid — caused by the nuclear crisis — will bring the Stalinist state to the brink of a new humanitarian disaster within three months. “You cannot make the children, the ill people, the old people, victims of a political crisis which they have nothing to do with,” said Strong, in apparent criticism of American and Japanese policy".

So there it is. It's our fault this lunatic ba##ard is ready to starve his people and start a nuclear arms race he can't win. Never mind the possibility of war!

"Kim is a child."

You got that right on, bud! Did ya ever look closely at some of his country's current rhetoric about US-NK relations? It basically amounts to "They stuck their tongue out at me, and now my feelings are hurt! Waaaahhhh!" You could probably hear a more mature conversation on any North American kindergarten playground.

Maybe the next time some US diplomats go to talk with Kim, they should bring along some Pez and one of those little caps with a propeller on top - sounds more appropriate to the Little Boy's level of maturity.

So Kim has the power, technology and will to transform his country into a nuclear state. Too bad no effort can transform him into a man.

[demlosers]

Not a dumb question I had the same thought. Maurice Strong, the critic from the U.N. is being disingenuous, other countries can feed them.

[BossLady]

It's hard for me to take this guy seriously. Every time I see him in those ridiculous glasses, I think....Hey, it's Elton Jong. LOL

[TightSqueeze]

Who benefits?
CHINA

Not to worry, we will just call our best buds in Russia to bail us out. HaHaHaHaHa

Why, he could even defeat Dr. Evil!!! He may even have mastered the pinky finger on the corner of the mouth bit. Oh, the horror!

I guess it would not stop the nuke build up but it would solve the humanatarion(sp) issue.
