You're kind of becoming the reminder for everyone on thread rules and etiquette, eh? That's the 3rd or 4th time in a couple days I've see ya tell a thread they were redundant and already existed elsewhere.

Thanks for the update. It's been noted.

That is why we'd limit reprisals to missile strikes and bombing runs on military and political targets while a UN-sanctioned force is assembled (including the Chinese military) to go in on the ground. If NK attacked first, China would have almost no political choice but to back the ousting of the rulership, but it would of course, have to be involved in any liberation and post invasion government.

The threat of a nuclear, terror attack is not one to take lightly either, and may well be the last desperate act of the leadership, if they see no out. THAT is a viable threat to consider, but it shouldn't rule our policy.

Yeah it's not like they are a heavily fortified country with millions of soldiers and anti-aircraft guns aimed at almost every square inch of their airspace. Yeah, I don't see how there could be a problem with swooping in and Bin Ladening him.

And doing what straight afterwards....telling the world he's been killed and buried at sea with no evidence?

If ever I saw an Avatar to fit a post, you get the First Prize for it. That's incredible and a FAIL on so many levels I can't begin to fathom. I mean, if true, we're at one of the lowest points in the history of relations with North Korea after VERY serious and strong efforts by the Administration to make this work.

It would be something to shake my head over and cluck my tongue about if this all came by neglect and being focused elsewhere in the world as I've more or less assumed it has. To think they might have been fully focused?Well now...

What did Kim actually mean when he told Rodman to pass on the "Call me" to Obama? It seemed silly and out of place in the way he generally is on some things at the time. Reading your link? Hey... There may have been more meaning to that, given the way things are ratcheting up in tension.

They won't have to...they'll just cut up our credit cards....

Provoking China is the furthest thing from the US's mind....

Tell that to Sadaam...oh wait, you can't....
