I'm convinced that DPRK is in cahoots with Saddam, and is using this as a means to distract our attention with having to deal with two fronts at once.

Isn't the Kitty Hawk on station in that region at this point?

I think they moved a couple of B-2 bombers to Guam as well.

Kitty Hawk is on the way to the Persian Gulf. Carl Vinson is enroute to replace it, if it's not already there.

The NK's can see where our attention is directed right now...

The exact same thing I stated to hubby last night...

The Kitty Hawk is in Japan.

You bet they are, the big question is-was the PRC the matchmaker?

[holdmuhbeer]

Nope, the Carl Vinson I believe is there now. Kitty Hawk is in the Gulf now.

I'm convinced of the same thing, MHKing. North Korea has been stuck in a time-warp since 1952, which explains why their latest rhetoric sounds like it's straight out of a bad Korean War movie. But nutball, Kim Il Jong, is very dangerous precisely because he is unbalanced and has big toys to play with that make huge bangs. I would not put it past him to actually attack South Korea when (if?) we move on Iraq. North Korea's increasing belligerence is yet another reason for us to move on Iraq as soon as possible.

On an only tangentially related topic: Aren't those old anti-military episodes from the TV series, MASH, embarrassing when looked at through the prism of today's events?
