#1 Kimmi can't exist without China. Every move that has an external affect that is made by North Korea is cleared with China first.

Where do you supposed this technology to produce missiles of this type came from? These people have a hard time keeping their trucks running and growing food yet they can build and launch missles? It's not all home grown rocketry to be sure.

#3 "the US is preparing an interception strike"

A great way to describe a fully defensive move. You have to hand it to the press, they really know how to use the language to get their point across.

#5 Don't attack the missile on the ground. Sheesh. Wait for it to lift off, then zap it.

It may just blow up on it's own, y'know. That's a signifigant possibility.

#6 After their talks, Mr Wen urged all sides to maintain calm.

Sorry we all got worked up, Mr. Wen. We forgot that everything was hunky dory.

Kimmie should have been history years ago when the other communist states fell. They did not because other countries gave the regime aid, including the US. Now Kimmie is feeling his oats because of our and the EUniks weakness in dealing with our adversaries. Kimmie is very useful to the Chicoms for divide and conquer.

Now we have to play catch up, big time. All these dictatorships play brinksmanship with the US.....because it pays.

#7 The rotting husk that is North Korea needs to be cracked ~~between two thumbnails~~ wide open to reveal the starvation, cannibalism, tyranny and human rights abuses that epitomize the Jong regime.

Lurid photographic evidence needs to be captured and hung directly around China's neck for the collective albatross it is such that the entire world can see the communists' usual bloodletting. China has enabled one of the most horrific dictatorships to continue unabated and they must be made to answer for it.

#8 North Korea is a good testing ground for China to gauge the West's resolve in defending itself. With Clinton, the resolve was weak. Now it is strong. I am sure they are encouraging the Koreans to go ahead with the launch, just to see what we will do. They will keep North Korea much like it is now just for a measurement of western resolve.

#9 I would really like to see the Patriot take down the missle in the air, rather than an airstrike. I know there is a chance of a miss, but it would be a great symbolic event.

#10 That's what I'm hoping, Jesing. It would also be a great blow against the ballistic mullahs in Iran.

#11 Interesting the Aussies defense minister is in D.C. today and stated that they're working to use INTERNATIONAL powers to shoot it down if it's fired. Guess Howard made a quick call to his minister after he saw the Chicoms aren't gonna help.

#12 Whisper to Permier Wen Jiabao "If Kimmie is not gone by August the US policy will be to ensure Japan and Taiwan have missile defense systems and nuclear weapons and for China's goods to be banned from US Markets until the WTO forces action. Count on it."

I'm about ready to say that any candidate, regardless of political party, who has the scrotal endowment to whisper such sweet nothings to the Mandarins will get my vote, period.

#18 It will be an intersting world after North Korea collapses and the reunited Korea inherits the nuclear weapons and missiles.

Perhaps someone should mention that to China.

#19 It will be an intersting world after North Korea collapses and the reunited Korea inherits the nuclear weapons and missiles.

What in blue blazing hades do you think the Chinese are so panic stricken about forestalling? Every single thing they do with respect to North Korea is centered upon averting that one nightmare (for them) scenario.

"Blue blazing Hades"

You're waxing poetical today, Zenster. :-D

#22 "Blue blazing hades" ??

Vasocongestion is it? Hope you have the situation well in hand Zenster.

#23 Actually it's a derivation of a favorite epithet blustered by Tin Tin's Captain Haddock:

"Billions of blue blistering barnacles!"
