U.S. raps N. Koreas artillery fire, says more provocation likely
2010-08-10
[Kyodo: Korea] A U.S. official on Monday lashed out the firing of over 100 artillery rounds by North Korea into the Yellow Sea near the maritime border with South Korea, while noting that Pyongyang is likely to take more provocative action despite repeated warnings not to do so by the United States. ""Certainly, the firing of a very large number of rounds in the region is the last thing that we want to see and is certainly not the best way to reduce tensions,"" State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told a press conference.

#7  WAFF > CHINESE GEENRAL SAYS US CARRIER IN THE YELLOW SEA MAY RESULT IN RETALIATION [mil response/strike].

* SAME WAFF > SOUTH KOREA WARNS NORTH OVER ARTILLERY BARRAGE [Armistice violation].

* CHINESE MIL FORUM Thread > USS "GEORGE WASHINGTON" VERSUS DF-21D'S.

POSTER = indic that the DF-21's = DF-21D's ARE ACTUALLY A MIL OR MISSLE DECOY/DIVERSION FOR THE CPLA'S "TRUE CARRIER-KILLER" THE DH-10A ABOVE-WATER TLCM/LACM, as converted + used in joint attack wid the DF-21 SSM by the CPLA for ANTI-SHIP/NAVAL WARFARE.

* Also from CMF > [HenryMakow.com]CONCEALED FRAUD/FRAUD UPDATE! AUSTRALIA IS ACTUALLY A CONCEALED BRITISH COLONY, along wid NZ + Canada.

ARTIC = The above three "sovereign/independent" Countries were never actually given true independence from the UK vee COMMONWEALTH TREATIISES + MEMBERSHIP, thus legally? are only locally-autonomous? Colonies? of Britain ergo extensions of a [shadow/stealthy] worldiwde British Empire which still exists.

#6  What about the fish and the seals? I haven't heard any thoughts about what 100 artillery rounds would do to them. Also, the sound waves from the rounds would certainly harm whales for 100's of miles around. Any thoughts for them? What a heartless group of people the N. Koreans are. Sic the Sierra Club or WWW on them immediately!!!!

#5  This festering sore the Korean peninsula is going to continue to fester for awhile.
"Certainly, the firing of a very large number of rounds in the region is the last thing that we want to see and is certainly not the best way to reduce tensions,"

What a limp-dick statement.

#4  "Certainly, the firing of a very large number of rounds in the region is the last thing that we want to see and is certainly not the best way to reduce tensions, and, and, and if they don't stop, we'll be very very cross!"

#3  About the only asset that the Norks have are dams, and if they had a dam break, the wet willies of the world would snivelingly offer other people's money to build them a new one.

I figure the best way to do it would be to sneak some kind of torpedo shaped slow drill into the dam lake. It drifts to the bottom of the dam, then starts slowly eroding concrete.

Since it's not going to be the best concrete in the world to start with, once it passes the critical point the water will do the rest, while destroying the evidence.

Well, in the spirit of compromise and tolerance, give them some of ours to replenish their stocks. We'll have to ship them via ship then by air though, so they might not be intact after they land on your positions.

#1  ION WMF > [Various Medias]CHINESE EXPERTS: US NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER "USS GEORGE WASHINGTON" SHOULD BE PREPARED/READY IFF THE US DECIDES TO SEND IT INTO THE YELLOW SEA. CHINA WARNS US THERE MAY BE "NECESSARY CONSEQUENCES" FOR ITS DECISION.

* SAME > JAPANESE SCHOLARS: WHOMEVER CONTROLS OR DOMINATES THE YELLOW SEA CONTROLS NORTHEAST ASIA. SINO-JAPANESE, ETC. HISTORICAL BATTLES HAVE LED TO THE RISE OR FALL OF ASIAN DYNASTIES + POWERFUL EMPIRES.

* TAIWAN IS "THE USA/USDOD IN CHINA" AND ASIA. A US CONTROLLED "NUCLEAR FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" + NUCLEAR SOUTH,SOUTHEAST ASIA ULTIMATELY MEANS A "WEAK CHINA".

* TAIWANESE MEDIAS: CHINA, NORTH KOREA FTA BILATERAL AGREEMENT MAY TURN NORTH KOREA INTO A CHIN-CONTROLLED "ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY" + "FOURTH PROVINCE" OF NORTHEAST CHINA [industrial sector].
