North Korea sucks and that nutjob Kim Jong Il should not have nuclear weapons end of story.

Bite it, Cartman.

I bought a pound of chocolate covered espresso beans today from a local chocolatier.

Not trying to beat a dead horse, but I finally stumbled across an article that expresses some thoughts better than I can myself:

A choice quote:

"It won’t do simply to default to our easy predispositions—against Bush, even against war. If partisanship makes us abandon intellectual honesty, if we oppose what our opponents say or do simply because they are the ones saying or doing it, we become mere political short-sellers, hoping for bad news because it’s good for our ideological investment.


One day during the U.S. election campaign, President Bush accidentally uttered a plain truth about the war on terror. “I don’t think you can ‘win’ it,” he said, which immediately provoked attacks from the Democrats. A month later, John Kerry inadvertently told the same truth—“We have to get back to the place . . . where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they’re a nuisance”—whereupon Bush pounced, saying he “couldn’t disagree more.” Later the same month, the president slipped and retold the same truth—“Whether or not we can be ever fully safe . . . is up in the air”—and Kerry, inevitably, replied: “You make me president [and] it’s not going to be up in the air.”


It was that kind of dishonest, automatic attack and counterattack that made me relieved, on November 3, when I was once again free to read and watch the news from Iraq without considering whether it was good or bad for Kerry’s chances."

I know many Wallys.

I woke up to find this today. JEEsus.


Don't be throwing up missiles in my backyard, ya crazy dictator.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea may fire a long-range ballistic missile toward Hawaii in early July, a Japanese news report said Thursday, as Russia and China urged the regime to return to international disarmament talks on its rogue nuclear program.

The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers), would be launched from North Korea's Dongchang-ni site on the northwestern coast, said the Yomiuri daily, Japan's top-selling newspaper. It cited an analysis by the Japanese Defense Ministry and intelligence gathered by U.S. reconnaissance satellites.

The missile launch could come between July 4 and 8, the paper said.

While the newspaper speculated the Taepodong-2 could fly over Japan and toward Hawaii, it said the missile would not be able to hit Hawaii's main islands, which are about 4,500 miles (7,200 kilometers) from the Korean peninsula.

Rami, I have faith it will be shot down in mid-air by aliens

It'll probably just hit Japan anyway.



You know, this guy moves almost perfectly in rhythm with "Johnny Too Bad" by The Slickers (off of The Harder They Come).

I read page one and hated that I opened this thread.

What's to be made of all of this posturing?

more on Obama's plate, I guess. Good luck, duder.

I guess N. Korea heard that the honeymoon was over too

sounds like the threats of a spoiled child with a new shiny gun

The whole thing will be over and done with in 5 mins

yeah, after we go Hiroshima/Nagasaki on dey ASS!!!

Yeah, this conversation is just crazy. Regardless of whether they have a right, the question is "should they?". With Jong in power, the answer is a definite no.

As soon as you start threatening to use a nuke, that privilege goes immediately out the window.

*THIS JUST IN: China's reaction to N. Korea*

Silly me. I thought this was gonna be real.

I'm I wrong to feel sketched out by this?

I probably shouldn't but I laughed at this quote: "...promised a 'fire shower of nuclear retaliation' for any American-led attack."

Don't they know we have Stealth bombers and long-range warhead capability that would reach them before they had the chance to press the killswitch?

I don't want a nuclear holocaust over this, but it sure would be nice to lay waste to that crazy bastard and the 200,000 morons demonstrating against us.

A nuclear winter would be a nice way to combat global warming.

haha. Set things back on course.

We could use a few years of nuclear paranoia.

Might inspire another "Red Dawn".
