#2 Sounds to me like a blockade is in order. No outgoing shipments from NK via air or sea. Fun and games time is over.

#3 Why worry? Soviet designed, North Korean engineered and Nigerian operated. So ya end up with a 1/3! chance of any given flight being a success. It'll only work properly 18% of the time and that's not factoring in the weather.

#4 Let 'em go -- and sink 'em just outside the Nigerian port. How much longer are we going to put up with this. Not long after Election Day, I hope.

#5 They joined Kim's team soon after they uncovered our evil plot to immunize their children against polio. I knew the Jews were steering us wrong on that one. Now what will we do without Nigerian ... Anybody know what we're going to have to do without once we sanction them?

#6 Ship-
I'm not giving these guys an 18% chance of getting it out of the shipping container in one piece, or fueling it without killing themselves.

#8 If they can afford this, then we can cut back on our aid.

If W doesn't win, kimchee will be on his merry way.

#10 Mr. Koz I expect you're right, but I am by nature optimistic.

#11 I wouldn't be suprised if we sink it in the Indian Ocean. It's not like either country has deep-sea exploration equitment. The best the have is SCUBA.

Poor SCUBA divers...

#12 C'mon guys, Africa is a big place, I'm sure the Nigerians can hit it with a Scud.

#13 How confident are you Steve? Are you $3 Confident? I say the Atlantic Ocean is even bigger.. and I say human falibility makes Africa look like the 12 green at Augusta.

#14 If you stop and think about this, does the Scud make sense as a delivery vehicle for conventional explosive warheads? Especially for a military probably as pressed for cash as Nigeria's? So this brings up the question, are they planning to put some less conventional warheads on the things?
