North Korea is going through it's own death throes.

That regime will self-destruct within a year.

[anniegetyourgun]

Telling their people to 'be ready' for anything is laughable. What shall they do....store up extra slivers of grass, bark, and twigs to eat and make more spit wads for ammo?

[TLBSHOW]

BUMP

When we go against Iraq, NK makes a move against the South and China uses the regional instability to take Taiwan.

You could be right. But I don't think China is going to move on this one, because, if nothing else, it doesn't want all of North Korea flooding its borders as refugees (from the counter attack).

I think NK is going to make a move, but I don't think China is going to support it, simply because NK actions could be a major domestic problem for them.

North Korean army arriving at small North Korean village.

Army: Greetings you have been selected to prepare for war.

Village: Do we get food?

Army: We shall destroy your village, kill your women, and slaughter your children... and claim the American's staged a pre-emptive strike.

Village: Ok keep your food.

Army: You shall not die in vain, the glory of Korea rests on you.

Village: Since it is such a wonderful role, care to trade places with us?

"This requires our military and people to mobilize all our resources to be fully ready for any contingencies,"


WHAT RESOURCES? THEY'VE ALREADY STARVED "TO DEATH" MILLIONS. THERE'S NOTHING TO PREPARE WITH. THAT LITTLE ASIAN "RAIN MAN" IS SO STUPID, HE'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH MARTIN SHEEN..."HEY MARTIN, YOU'RE ONLY CHANCE OF BEING IMPORTANT AND BEING PRESIDENT IS THROUGH 'MAKE BELIEVE' ON TV....YOU FREAK!

GOD BLESS AMERICA...WE'RE PREPARED...BRING EM ALL ON!

[RobbyS]

Well, our forces have tactical nukes. If Saddam's generals thinks they can use chemicals, they will wish they hadn't.

[thermodynamics]

Thanks...had to burn my thrusters.

[Moonman62]

There's probably major disappointment that the government didn't say "get ready for a sandwich."

I know that a lot of people here think that China is just waiting at the chance to take back Taiwan through force, but I believe that it's not the case at all.

In ten years, Taiwan will be begging China for reunification.

Simple facts:

China's economy is like this: (zooming hands way up to the ceiling)

... and Taiwan's economy is like this (dropping hands to ankle-high)

In ten years, China's economy will have them seeing Taiwan as the sea-borne rockpile that it is. It might even be *China* that doesn't want to reunify.

Anyone who believes that China wants war with the US is someone who thinks that they want to tear 75% of their economy off and throw it in the trash. China is really enjoying their economy right now, and is smart enough not to screw it up. If they have a fault, it's that they'll sell almost anything to almost anyone for almost any reason.

Until someone can show me differently, fearing the military actions of China during the Gulf War a lot of Anti-Chinese paranoia.

I'm willing to listen, though.

[thermodynamics]

OK...It's official! They're FREAKIN' NUTS!!! My Fire's Hot again. But, I'll chill out. Thanks for the post ganeshpuri89! God Bless

And how do the North Koreans get ready for war?
Bend over and kiss your a** goodbye!

Dear Leader wants Saddamn's check to clear.

Petro-dollar greenmail is a wonderful thing.

[SuziQ]

I wonder if Saddam struck a deal with N. Korea

GMTA, Sam. I've thought this ever since 'Dear Leader' started showing his butt a few weeks ago! It was just all too much of a coinkydink!

I think we can all figure out just for whom this group is a front!
