Nukes option by U.S. in Korea
EFL & Warm Fuzzies
The United States is committed to defending South Korea from an attack by the assclown in the North and would use nuclear forces if needed, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told the government here yesterday.
I love teamwork. And here is a quote that outlines a universal truth:
"We understand that weakness can be provocative, that weakness can invite people into doing things that they otherwise might not even consider," Mr. Rumsfeld told a joint news conference with South Korean Defense Minister Cho Young-kil.
This is a universal truth. Weakness is not only provocative, it is an invitation for destruction. All of the world—and in particular, Europe—have failed to grasp this simple yet true dictum. And this is why we are hated: While most of the world has for the better part of the last century has flinched in the face evil, America has stood steadfast and unflinching against any and all threats to our being. And it is in our strength that seeds of their envy have taken root. We never asked to be King-of-the-Hill. But when the rest of world abandoned their position atop the mountain, we remembered the Machiavellian rules of engagement.
