#3 Obama Adviser (NorK Czar): I know! Let's pull COMPLETELY out of South Korea! That will freak North Korea right out and completely befuddle them!

Obama: Great idea! Get Murtha on the phone, we can move them to Okinawa and I hear he has some connections there. I knew there was a reason I paid you the big bucks!

#6 They have proposed the Russians join NATO. We better think of something good in return--really good.

#7 I really don't thik Oblahblahblah has the brains to outwit a 5 year old trick or treater.

Kinda makes you wonder how he got elected president, doesn't it? Or better yet, it kinda makes you wonder why the US isn't on the bottom of the heap yet.

As for the missile shield, I understand Oblahblah is planning on having ships with SM-3s deployed to defend these countries, so he's supposedly just trading land-based systems for sea-based. What makes me wonder about all this is that Russia seems to be rolling over for it.

The Russians dont care about the missiles, which, as the Bush admin correctly said, couldnt stop a Russian attack anyway. The Russians care about stopping the precedent of a NATO presence on the ground in the Visograd states.

#9 anyway to get back on topic, this appears to be a sensible policy in northeast Asia.

I'm imagining a "man in the street" interview where the man turns out to be Vladimir Putin.

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
-- Abe Lincoln

At least I hope not. I think a lot of the hopey change crowd are starting to realize who the rubes are.
