For North Korea’s part, it has stormed out of talks with the South after the South rejected Pyongyang’s absurd offer to “protect” it.

“Nice little country you have here. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.”

I’m so Ronry…….

and Arec Barwin is having violent fantasys…

Hmmmm…. it all coming clear….

Those are great lines, actually. Pity they were wasted on such idiotarian wankers. Wish somebody with a brain would have come up with them instead.

Was Iran behind this from the beginning of the first Israeli soldier kidnapped? Scroll down UPDATES for the Latest happening with Israel….

And, given the active cooperation and coordination revealed in Yossef Bodanski’s The Secret History of the Iraq War – where Iran, Iraq and North Korea (with a supporting role by Syria) are alleged to have worked together not only on each other’s pet projects – deep tunnels, missile tech and WMD – since at least the spring of 2002, but also on stirring up “trouble” that the West was to have had to respond to (thus distracting it from Iraq issues), it’s more than likely the timimg of the new threat was handled in a similar way.

Back in ‘02, North Korea is alleged to have stirred up trouble at the critical moments time(s) we were trying to rally the world to address Saddam’s non-compliance. The intelligence data cited in the book puts a high-level North Korean official inside the Middle East at known times & locations where we now know important planning meetings were held. Bodansky rules out both unrelated and “related but uncoordinated” action in favor of deliberate and active coordination.

Moreover the action was designed to provoke the very response we saw from the ever-predictable world press and loyal opposition: incessant argument that Bush was focusing his attention on the “wrong threat” instead of on the real threat: North Korea etc. etc. That Iraq and North Korea were in on it together from the get-go was either not considered or not deemed important enough to care.

I’d love to see South Korea kick the North’s @#$.

Israel has gone into full war mode following a decade of concessions and cease fires answered to by Islamists with suicide bombings, kidnappings and rocket fire. Israel is finding support in the oddest places. Saudi Arabia and Egypt seem to be united i…

Allah questions the…

Let’s just pray it doesn’t get to that…a call-up of the Individual Ready Reserve would include me for another 2 years. But if they call, you can believe I’ll be there.

It makes sense without a requiring a conspiracy behind it. The US can really concentrate only on one thing at a time. Militarily we’re stretched in Iraq. We’re dealing with attacks in India, Israel, and chaos all around the world, so there’s never been a better time to get away with stuff, since our ability and willingness to respond are pretty low.

The one you left out was Venzuela. I am waiting for Chavez to use some threat of oil reduction or embargo to have negative economic impact on the United States.

Anyone care to wager in the next 2 weeks Venzuela gets into the act in a coordinated manner?
