North Korea is the shark that bumps the victim to test it

I still believe China will have to use some high velocity lead poisoning to stop their puppet. China needs a NK they can manage, this one is becoming a pain in the ass. China knows we will not abandon the region.
The Chinese envoy brought a message and a gift. I’d love to think of what could have been in that box.

If China doesn’t reign him in, sooner or later he will invade South Korea.

“Sorry”

BOOM

“Oops”

BOOM

“My bad.”

The guy has learned from watching the games that Saddam played for years. I think his next move will be to call a recount of the Security Counsel’s votes for the resolutions, claim that countries not in the counsel are being disenfranchised . . . oh and the South Korean taking Kofi’s position stole the election.

Yeah, Chinas’ great and coming along nicely.
All we have to do is keep bribing them with a 201 billion trade defecit each year and everything will be wonderful.

I think this one world community should be run like a poker game.
If you want to join the game, you have to buy your way in.
Our paying nations to play nice in the sand box is a crock.

***UPDATE 10/20 6:44 AM – Fox News reporting that North Korea does not plan further nuclear tests*** (Update within an update – AP story at Fox News has details) *UPDATE – Iran is now saying they want to sell nuclear……

I can hardly wait for tomorrows headlines. It will happen won’t it?

Yup. Absolutely, positively, 100% will happen.

Hey are interested in buying a bridge? Bearly used and has scenic views of New York City. I’m willing to let it go for a very reasonable price.

Seriously though, I’d have a heart attack if those headlines came to pass.

Yes I know that China recently greased some Tibetan pilgrams, but one has to admit that overall in the past 10 years China is slowly becoming a Western friendly country.

Money talks and bullsh*t walks.

Other Headline: Carter apologizes to Bush.

I can hardly wait for tomorrows headlines. It will happen won’t it?

Yes, this is a surprise for many. Captain Ed picked this story up this story from the New York Times today:China is prepared to step up pressure on North Korea in coming weeks by reducing oil shipments, among other measures, if the country refuses t…

Looks as if keeping China in the negotiations is working, but don’t expect anyone to credit President Bush for that.

World Public Opinion dot org? Never heard of them. I cannot find the poll questions at their site, nor any data as to the demographics of those polled. What are they hiding?

The reverse isn’t true either – I think we can agree that both gents were/are flawed, as are we all.

Try to catch the repeat of the Daily Show from yesterday. Very funny bit on Kim.

(Review the rules: all good things are Bush’s doing; all bad things are Clinton’s doing.)

I wonder what the Chicoms said to the little gargoyle to cause this, a’hem, change of heart?

I bet it was something like, “Shut up you idiot; the Americans are gonna arm Japan to the teeth if you don’t start behaving!”

…hate speech is anything that speaks out against terrorism.

From Bryan’s Newsbuster.org link – …and ‘hate speech is also anything that speaks for the U.S.’

An independent equivalent of YouTube is needed, not a conservative one, just an independent and free one. Let those who don’t like something, not view it. Techies identify yourselves and we’ll start a drive for investments, here.

“Listen, little twerp, have you forgotten who your only life-support is? You f–k with our Taiwan and greater Asian- and World-desires, we’ll execute you Ceausescu-style”.

Sheer insanity or super BDS: blame Mr. Bush for being recalcitrant and going it alone and then blame him for wanting 6-party talks, after 1:1s completely failed and agreements were betrayed.

Question of the times – where the h–l is Ms. Albright? No spotting of her blathering on TV lately…

Do it the Democrat way and hand him a pile of cash and other things to get an empty promise or do it Bush’s way, include China and the other nations in the area and actually get something done.
Hmmmm…..

Except of course if it doesn’t work. In which case, it’s back to being Clinton’s fault. (Review the rules: all good things are Bush’s doing; all bad things are Clinton’s doing.)

The one downside to China laying the smackdown on Kimmie is that he has to ‘lose face’ to accomplish a non nuke Korea and that’s not something an egomaniac will ever forget.
And we shouldn’t either.

China is literally feeding his party supporters and his military.
