On your other post, flowers and kind words are right until you have said your piece or drawn a line. Remember the olive branches and arrows? When making nice and being kind wear out:

THEN YOU INFLICT DAMAGE AND PAIN!!!

Apparently — and I could be wrong about this — the specter of another strongly-worded memo hasn’t cowed Kim into submission.

Who’d have guessed?

As USA Today notes in its report, Kim isn’t allowed to shoot off his Scuds or any other kind of ballistic missiles. The UN has specifically banned such launches as part of the sanctions against Pyongyang.

Building up the Americans’ respect for the authority of the UN will help subordinate that country, the independence of which we are celebrating today.

This “show” is all for two reasons:
1. Internal propaganda purposes
2. Product demonstration

#2 Is what we need to worry about. The potential buyers can cause us and the World some real damage.

Happy 4th of July to you too Jeff from WI.

P.S. Tell KJ-I he’s not invited to the White House weenie party either. That’ll fix him.

One of his mentors. Roosevelt, did.

He’d probably do it just for the higher oil and gas prices that would follow.

I really do wonder whether Obama will give Putin Georgia and Ukraine in exchange for help in afghan and elsewhere.

I am sorry but is our fearless leader under the impression that he can give sovereign nations away like party favors? Great! I don’t know why I say that, he might as well, he has no plans to protect them.

Sadly, no longer true.

Please don’t follow us into oblivion.

I think that he’ll make an announcement that he just talked to our ambassador in Atlanta and that there is no Russian invasion in Georgia…and that he’s now checking Alabama to make sure there isn’t one there either.

Speaking of the real Georgia, the Russians will complete on Monday (the day Bambi arrives in Moscow) an Enormous soviet style military exercise in the Caucuses. I really do wonder whether Obama will give Putin Georgia and Ukraine in exchange for help in afghan and elsewhere.

Britannia!

Americans, too, must never fall short our own ideal!

I’d guarantee there’s at least 1 if not 2 Los Angeles Class Attack sub parked off their coast right now.

Their coast: North Korea or China?

Following the last month’s naval confrontations by China vs. America, given our lousy CinC agenda, I’d seriously wonder that our subs are parked off the China coast, whether the Yellow Sea or north in the Sea of Japan. Then again, I have complete confidence in our military, just not the Commander in Chief whose jeopardy role completely interferes with our national security.

When maggie Thatcher was preparing to retake the Falklands from the Argies, the people of England cheered and waved flags – without having the faintest idea that the Falklands even existed, let alone where they were.

I think not. Kelley’s rubbing their nose in Obama’s doodoo.

So do they “forgive” the debt by killing us off or just make us irrelevant? What is keeping us from taking out NK’s reactors and launch pads? I would think we could do it with minimal collateral damage to their starving population. Or are we still in the “what would the neighbors think” mode?

Cindy Munford on July 4, 2009 at 10:21 AM

In reality, we don’t need to, as I’d guarantee there’s at least 1 if not 2 Los Angeles Class Attack sub parked off their coast right now. They won’t do anything because they’d be vaporized if they did.

If “Jay Walking” in LA is any clue, how many non-
Asian people in California know where Korea is, let alone “what” N.Korea is.

maverick muse on July 4, 2009 at 10:18 AM

How many of our gifted white or black citizen know either. Ever see the stupidity out there.
