http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A56754-2002Dec30.html Does that mean the United States should switch its focus from Iraq to North Korea? Iraq's nuclear program -- which many consider the most serious strategic threat the country poses to us -- is not nearly so far along. Iraqi nuclear weapons in the near term cannot be ruled out, but they are not likely. Nevertheless, putting Iraq on hold to deal with North Korea would have serious consequences. It would send a chilling message that the United States can be knocked off course in one arena by troublemaking in another. It would drive any expectation of the constancy of our purpose into a tailspin. The president has invested American credibility in disarming Iraq. The prospect of a nuclear Iraq, which would profoundly change the political landscape of a critical region, is strategically unacceptable to us. In the absence of voluntary disarmament, sidestepping Iraq now would be an emboldening victory for Saddam Hussein, making it even more difficult to deal with him later. ...and... The administration's approach -- which appears to be "Iraq first, North Korea later" -- is equally unrealistic. If the North continues its rapid escalation, it could be building and dispersing a nuclear weapons arsenal within months. The Asia Pacific region would be a far more dangerous place.
I think we should get our soldiers out of Korea. Their people don't want us there f them. After that we blow every nuclear reacter and area that North Korea has F them. Then when South Korea asks us for help we say f them. Plus we pass a law that we buy nothing made in Korea f them. That is what we should do f them all. We don't need them.
Sandy Berger was National Security Advisor? Typical mumbo-jumbo from handwringing Democratic foreign policy "savants" North Korea must be forced to agree to firm inspections and immediate removal of its fissile material......or what? Nothing mentioned about how they are to be forced to do this or what if they don't play along. Since non-compliance is the most likely thing to happen, the whole article is just chatter.
"whatever happened to the war on terrorism?" It is going on as we speak. If we can capture them we capture them, if not we kill them. If Pakistan and Afganistan capture them they talk because they are tortured until they speak and we pay them for that I am sure. The reason why you asked what happened to the war on terrorism is a testimonal to how well we are doing against terror.
No such thing. The Chilean sea bass is actually the Patagonian Toothfish. But that doesn't look as good on a menu.
************, I guess if we had never heard about Desert Storm that would have meant that Sadaam had long been out of power.
Yeah I don't recall any oil tankers exploding and leaking out tons of oil, or any discos I believe that exploded in Bali. War on Terror = Victory as long as it doesn't happen in the US.
"I'll take your word for it when you produce bin Laden's head on a pike." You actually think he is alive he is dead.
"I guess if we had never heard about Desert Storm that would have meant that Sadaam had long been out of power." You think we could not have taken him out of power if we had went to Bagdad? I think people would have believed it if we had just taken over Bagdad. That is not what we were there for. We were there to expell them from kuwait and that's it. I really don't think at the time it was in our countries interest to eliminate him. Who was going to replace him religious fundamentalist? F them rather see Saddam in them a religious moron. Now I would like to see us take over that half arse country and keep their f ing oil. Nothing they can do about it if we had the soccer balls to do it which we don't. Who cares what other countries think about it f them as well.
"Prove it" Funny, let them prove he is alive. Simple picture him with todays news. They can't do it because he is dead news. Prove it, what an idiot he is incinerated. We should kill off his relatives next is his mother and father still alive, then his friends and then his pets. Then his country of origin F them all and I mean every word of that.
Translation: I have no clue what I'm talking about, so I will call SoFla Metro an idiot. Maybe someday I will learn how to express myself in proper terms and then people will take me seriously. Unfortunately, right now I'm late for my job shoveling pig poop so I can't do that right now.
"Maybe someday I will learn how to express myself in proper terms and then people will take me seriously. Unfortunately, right now I'm late for my job shoveling pig poop so I can't do that right now." You have some bad life there my friend. Now on shoveling shiite, do you take the shiite from someone else or do you pass the shiite from the pile to someone else? Maybe if your lucky you will pass it from the pile so you can say you take no shiite from nobody
This is like arguing with a child. Let me know when we're done playing the opposite game, chief. Oh, and just for the record: shit= poop shiite = Muslim
I thought ************ would not register on this. I am in my mid 50's retired at 47. I did not have a city/state or federal job to do it. I did it by thinking a head, way a head of everyone else.
