Rice Tours Command Center in South Korea
2005-03-19
From inside a mountainside bunker, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice saw firsthand Saturday what a war with North Korea might look like. Rice became the most senior American official to tour a command center for U.S. and South Korean troops that would be the battle headquarters in the event of fighting with the communist North. "I know that you face a close-in threat every day," Rice told troops at Command Post Tango, or Theater Air Naval Ground Operations.

Rice's visit coincided with a twice-yearly war exercise involving thousands of American and South Korean soldiers. When Rice got a look at the command center, it also was the first time that reporters and cameras were allowed into the bunker south of Seoul. North Korea denounced the exercises as a rehearsal for a U.S.-led pre-emptive attack.

#2  Interesting that the Sec. State toured a DOD shop during wargames. Perhaps a signal to the Norks that the soft stance at State has come to an end?

#1  I don't know how long Condi can keep this up, but she's certainly batting 1000 so far.
