#1 North Korea threatened Wednesday to wage a "death-defying war"

Try it. And "defy" death all you want, but some things are unavoidable.

#2 When you threaten 'Devastating and Humiliating Defeat' every week, it kinda loses some of the shock value.

Are they even capable of launching a major operation at this point? That seems like it would take a lot of money.

#3 Keep an eye on the sacred DPRK lard reserves. If that seal is broken look for the Dear Flys to swam south in the centre.

Probably not that expensive with a workforce working for no financial gain.

#5 Noisy gits aren't they?
Somewhere in the Communist training they get from "Dear Leader" must be the Teaching that words are more powerful than evidence.

A lie of course, but you knew that already, ALL their "Schooling" To be a perfect Slav-- excuxe me, citizen is a Pack of lies.

#6 While I'm on the subject, they are At War already, there was NO peace,(Hence NO Victory/Loss) just a Face saving Armistice.(Cease Fire).

Translation, "We're Losing" DO SOMETHING.
Like losing at checkers so just tip over the table and declare you've never been "Defeated"

#9 And you may ask yourself, "If Nork isn't blamed, will they not threaten war in the future?"

#10 I am personally sick to death of a bunch of half-baked, 10th Century morons threatening me. If I were president, I would not only see to it that the NORKS were blamed for sinking the Cheonan, but that I would be ready with 50-100 nukes to totally wipe their sorry a$$es from the face of the earth if they so much as made a rude gesture at the the South. As my dad taught me when I was about six, it's nice to be liked, but sometimes it takes putting the fear of God into someone before they'll quit being a pain in the butt. It's better to be feared than to be treated with contempt, something Obumble hasn't learned yet.

Darth, I always felt fairly secure flying lima-lima over an area in VN cleared by the ROKs. Not even ducks came up to intercept.
