100,000 American CIVILIANS living and working on South Korea

Hey, there are civilians living near Iraq - - Israelis and Arabs. They're threatened with chemical weapons from Iraq if we attack, just as South Korean residents (including Americans) would be threatened there, if we attacked the North. If containment will work on the Korean peninsula - as Bush says it will work -- then I have not heard anyone explain why it won't, or can't work in Iraq.

What I HAVE heard is a lot of Bible thumpers who lust for Moslem blood and some kind of fulfillment of Revelation prophecies. That's not my idea of a good reason to go to war. I FAVOR THE BUSH DOCTRINE - I.E. THE ONE HE'S EMPLOYING IN KOREA. IF IT CAN WORK THERE, IT CAN WORK IN IRAQ; HE HASN'T EXPLAINED WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD.

Why don't you go offer yourself up as a human shield? You fit the useful idiot profile.

The mooks that have been killing Americans for the past 20 years look like Saddam Hussein, not Kim Jong Il and if you would extract your head about 3 feet, you'd have known it.

korea wants $, saddam has $

I wouldn't bother asking that question anymore if I were you. I have seen at least ten people answer you and outline why NK is being handled differently than Iraq. Just because you don't like the answers, or don't understand them, doesn't mean they are not true. Go back and read other people's posts to you and think about what they are saying.

Last time I went to the dentist he filled one cavity at a time starting with the one that was about to abcess. Buy a clue. Besides your wrong about revelations not mentioning the area Korea is in. Maybe before you make your points about a book you ought to read it first.

Hey, O bright and shining one, I think you missed the POINT. 100,000 AMERICAN civilians...
Besides, the NKs have had (thanks to the UN) 50 years to tunnel and dig themselves in. Tougher nut to crack then the gomers in Iraq. I've served in both places, I fought in one, glad I never had to fight in the other..
You in a hurry to get lots of Americans killed?
Easy to talk about when its not your a$$ on the line....

[Grampa Dave]

Bozo, did the NK's do this to America. You are mouthing do the N K's first line of the left wingers and the so called right wingers.

You and NK will just have to be patient and take a number. Now is the time for Iraq, and you know that don't you?

Who did you vote for in 2000?

[katana]

In fact, he has explained it. Lots of us have tried to explain it to you. It's really not very complicated. Invading North Korea would most likely cause World War III. Invading Iraq will most likely prevent it.

We've tried to explain it to you but you just haven't understood. That's alright. You can't help it if you're not very smart. Now be a good boy and go to bed.

[John Valentine]

Dumbass... Of course containment won't work in Korea. And it certainly won't work in Iraq. You are certainly the worst informed, most ignorant, dense, intentionally stupid poster I have seen on FR in quite a while.

You must be a Democrat.

"HE HASN'T EXPLAINED WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD

...and don't expect him to do so.

We have NK threatening us, millions invading our borders and Saudis financing the terrorists while we piss around in Iraq.

Yup. Makes sense to me.

Just Say No to nation building.

You have just proved that you have no concept of Bible phophecies.

[Franking]

Why is it you are failing to understand the most basic geographic and technical realities here?

1) NORTH KOREA HAS NUKES. Which word in this sentence do you not understand? Only 2 or 3 "little-boy" nukes, but they are bad enough.

2) Seoul (pop ~ 12 million) is TWELVE MILES from the DMZ.

3) NK has enough med-range missiles to hit Seoul and Japan. Iraq does not have any nuclear-capable missiles...yet.

4) There is a massive artillery presence along the DMZ, enough to kill millions of SKs *without* nukes. Iraq can't threaten Israel, out 12 years of air patrols in the north and south have eliminated the threat to anybosy but Iran, and killing Arabs will not further Sadaam's dreams of a Pan-Arab state with him as living god.

The difference here is casualties. 10,000 in Iraq, 10,000,000 in Korea. As for privation and repression and ruin, yes, the NKs have Iraq beat, hands down.

I haven't heard any comments on the internet or in real life from what you refer to as "Bible thumpers" regarding Iraq or Revelations.

You're the only poster who mentioned the Bible and I'm not gonna argue with you about the entire Bible on a press conference thread. Bye. I support Winston Churchill's descendant, George W. Bush.
