Obama speaks...Alas, media hype will come to an end !

Hey Kim.....pick up the phone, or wait isn't Obama supposed to call? (Sausage festival!)

You know why Obama has delayed the Minuteman III launching? Because he is aware an all out war at this time in Korea! Not because of the North Korean belligerence but China and Russia's retaliations! Just one step will triggar an all out war after 'faceoff' with Russia over Syria, Iran and Japan's territorial dispute with China!

One leader oppresses the population with threats and the other with taxes. In NK it can end nearly overnight. Obama is spending like it grows on trees and generations will suffer afterward.

The west is doing all it can to give the kid a chance to back down, and come back to the table in a rational manner, this as close to an olive branch as can be situated for the time as is possible, I hope they take it.

The danger here is that the unreliable ballistic missile armed with nuclear war head to be tested by NK might land on target that it is not intended for. This would restart the Korean War.

Um, Thanks Obama?

4/12 - Missile launch? Try "military intelligence." The pentagon reports that NK is capable of placing a nuclear weapon on one or or both of the missiles. The USA strings people along telling them, don't worry, it isn't possible. Then on the eve of launch, "military intelligence" says it really is possible and likely. A definite MAYBE. Isn't it curious that both leaders only tell the people what they want them to hear and know?

This says it all. "(CNN) -- The Pentagon's intelligence arm has assessed with "moderate confidence" that North Korea has the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon with a ballistic missile, though the reliability is believed to be "low." MILITARY INTELLIGENCE? Don't worry, keep the Golden Week tickets and reservations. Nothing is going to happen.

Obama super duper diplomatic skills were going to stop the nuclear weapon program they claimed was nowhere near completion years ago.

-6 ( +0 / -6 )

They both have lots in common: basketball fan, anointed one...As most liberals and lawyers do, Obama's first weapon is "words" thus hopping thing would change to his way. K.J.U- the mafia kid with big tummy and big mouth's first weapon is launching a missile in the form of an indirect attack as a bully tactic in gaining more concession from his victims. Go ahead, take your best shot that will end your mafia cultist regime, upon which many innocent N.Koreans will find the day light after terrible casualties of war. Ah, China will pull every string making sure their exploiter games will indeed intact. Therefore, the vicious cycle of brainwashed N.Koreans who worship their dear leaders will go on till titanic day to come.

"Um, Thanks Obama?"

I doubt the kid will thank him. Because the kid knows Obama won't actually do anything unless Americans die in a North Korean attack.

Wow, would't it be something, if this were all a collaborated attempt to drive a wedge in the alliance between U.S,S.kor, and Japan? ofcourse such a idea is really quite ridiculous and if conceaved, would be doomed fail,and probably have the reverse effect, but if? I bet N kor or China would feel pretty stupid right now, itwould be quite an expensive failure, i am glad they would not dream of such a thing, peace on the seven seas.

Each time they end off the rhetoric by attacking something in S Korea, but no-one retaliates. SK will probably have to take another hit...

Let's see, they blew up an airliner, shelled a South Korean island, sank a SK corvette for starters, oh and crippled SK government and businesses more recently with a coordinated cyber attack. What's next?

Obama is now scaring! He has the trouble spot of Syria now fighting heated up and here comes another in the far east! China and Russia has made a very clear statement that they will never help US just like they did in Syria! Obama is dreaming and if he wants to blame, blame himself! If NOT he kicked up drills after drills of live firing in Yellow sea, there is absolute NO BELLIGERENCE at all from beginging!

Does this answer all the questions? "A classified Pentagon report, which was disclosed by a congressman, (by mistake) shows North Korea is able to arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead." Fox News.

Are you gullible enough to believe that the Republicans don't do the same thing when they have majority control? They just spend it on programs that benefit themselves and their lobbyists. I can live with taxes as long as the money goes to the right programs in government and those programs are ran efficiently. National debt and funding for necessary government ran agencies doesn't just magically go away with lower taxes.

The problem with that is, they don't and are NOT run efficiently at all, especially the way liberals running the economy.

Fixed... Pick your poison, there is plenty enough to go around. Right now I'm glad the liberals are in place to show the republicans that they're not always going to be straight winners and can do whatever they want. Seems like people still can't wrap their heads around moderate thinking.

Nuclear technology in the hands of unstable nations such as NK pose a global theat. The NK situation can also have wider implications. It may trigger a similar response by other rogue countries like Iran. Both countries have worked with one another in developing nuclear weapons. Not to mention the threat of attack to, other countries who are in the NK region. Hopefully, the military will have the ability to determine an oncoming attack or if it's just an idle threat.
