| Kim Jong Il is very, very sick. Waiting in the wings to take over is his son. Will the son continue the nuclear ambitions of his father or ratchet them up?

North Korea thumbs nose at U.N. resolution and Obama's idle pronouncements that they can't continue on this path of defiance and fires 7 short-range missiles on 4th of July.

Wonder what michelle is going to do about this? Im thinking since michelles wife barack isnt going to do anything perhaps she might. Must be waiting for a deadly strike to actually occur.
President Obama is probably going to give a silly speech about extending a friendly hand and working together.
Hey, as long as President Obama gets his daily fix in on TV everyday...he's good to go! It's not working for us though...wake up America!

It’s been confirmed that North Korea has a uranium enrichment program. The announcement came as a defiant reaction to the new U.N. sanctions.

Probably both and the bad thing is they wish to use them. Here is a link with a couple videos in it. This is not looking good for any of us.

AP source: North Korea may be preparing for 3rd nuclear test as UN takes up resolution
06-11-2009 5:52 PM
By PAMELA HESS, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (Associated Press) -- North Korea may be preparing for its third nuclear test, a show of defiance as the United Nations considers new sanctions on the dictatorship for conducting an underground nuclear explosion in May, according to a U.S. government official.

How many missles did they shoot, deuce/bouch?

SAN FRANCISCO, CA-- The two reporters for Al Gore’s TV Current, an on-line journal based in San Francisco, who have been held since March, were found guilty of illegal entry and sentenced to 12 years hard labor, according to the North Korean news agency.
Gore and his on-line network have yet to speak out on the actions by the North Korean government - the arrest and now the sentencing.
It’s been reported that the U.S. might send Gore to Pyongyang in order to negotiate the release of the two American journalists. Rumor has it that Obama might ask Gore to initiate discussions with the North Koreans over their nuclear ambitions.

Yeah, we have this lunatic shaking his nuclear saber at us along with the Iranian nutjob and what does Barack Hussein Obama do? Cuts spending on our Missile Shield defense program. Out of the 800 BILLION dollar "expand Government" spending bill you would think he would have appropriated some of that money to update and modernize our defense program and our military but not one dime was allocated for that use and instead reduces funding. Maybe we can all just go hide under Bill Gates Microsoft bridges we are paying for. Feel safer now?? Does the word "irresponsible" come to mind? Or how about "inexperienced"?

My point is ---- Bush was TESTED too and got the same words used against him as President Obama is currently getting. Bush finally gave in and 'bribed' North Korea into shutting down their nukes in 2007. And the only reason Bush gave in at that time was, the 2008 election was coming up and he didn't want the NK issue to be used against the GOP.
So the next time you hear a Republican or right winger accuse Obama of being WEAK or not tough enough - remind them of the Bush 'get tough' years and how that worked --- NOT!
You weren't paying attention luci. Clinton and Bush both.....I posted this earlier but you choose to ignore it, Clinton and Bush tried to play the "if you reverse your nukes program we will give you blah, blah, blah" and even take you off the AXIS OF EVIL list. Why did President Bush do that? Because the libs were relentless in their pummeling of his foreign policies and excoriated him for not using diplomacy so that is exactly what he did and all was well. All was well except the "Dear Leader" (think I will start referring to BHO as that, he's kind of in that same category...the beloved), never had any intention of keeping his part of the bargain, didn't with Clinton and didn't with Bush and he won't with BHO.
Now you can assign any of your goofy theories to that, but it is what it is. So the next time you talk about this luci, you need to give credit where credit is due, they both tried the nice guy approach and it DIDN'T WORK EITHER. The "Bush Tough" years kept us safe for the past almost eight years. That my friend is indisputable whether you want to admit it or not, it's a fact and because of that I for one believe him to be a hero for accomplishing that against great odds. Aside from the terrorists who still want to kill all of us, the lunatic left wing fringe to name another and of course their strongest ally, the left wing media.
Barack Hussein Obama is very weak on terror, he has been very weak in his half hearted pat responses to NK and to IRAN and they are both shaking their warrior stick at him ready to take aim because they are not afraid of him and have no respect for his weakness. Dictators only understand strength and Mr Date Night ain't it.

This week's actions by North Korea, setting off nuclear tests and missiles have many in the media talking how President Obama is being tested. Many are already calling Obama's 'talking down North Korea's threats' as being a sign of weakness.
I think maybe it's time to remind folks what North Korea did during President George W. Bush's eight years in office.
When President Bush declared that Iraq, Iran and North Korea were the "axis of evil",
a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman described Mr Bush's State of the Union address as "little short of a declaration of war".
In a statement from the foreign ministry, Pyongyang said Washington's recent problems were "entirely attributable to the unilateral and self-opinionated foreign policy, political immaturity and moral leprosy of the Bush administration".
The US Central Intelligence Agency has released a report saying that North Korea sold numerous missiles to the Middle East and other areas of tension last year (2001 a Bush year).
*****************************************************************************************
In February of 2003, North Korea threatened to abandon the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean war, accusing the United States of plotting a pre-emptive attack on the communist state.
North Korea's rhetoric has been escalating since the crisis flared up late last year, and warnings of an impending US attack are broadcast almost daily in Pyongyang's official media. It was not clear whether last night's statement broke that pattern or represented more of the same.
North Korea conducted their first nuclear test in 2006 - during the Bush so-called "get tough" years.
My point is ---- Bush was TESTED too and got the same words used against him as President Obama is currently getting. Bush finally gave in and 'bribed' North Korea into shutting down their nukes in 2007. And the only reason Bush gave in at that time was, the 2008 election was coming up and he didn't want the NK issue to be used against the GOP.
So the next time you hear a Republican or right winger accuse Obama of being WEAK or not tough enough - remind them of the Bush 'get tough' years and how that worked --- NOT!

Excuse me, is this a typo or what? Iraq was not testing bombs and was not openly manufacturing chemical weapons, yet Bush lied and we engaged in the most unnecessary war in American history.
The multiple reasons for going into Iraq have been posted on here a million times and it's not my problem if you are too ignorant or just don't want to get it, probably more the latter. Because if you had to admit that President Bush DID NOT lie, went into Iraq for the right reasons, then what would you use to pursue your relentless BDS and vitriolic hatred for GWB? So, please spare us your inaccurate and partisan PELSOI because we've heard all that diatribe enough. President Bush is no longer running the Iraq War, your Messiah is and he ain't ending it any time soon. In fact, the similarities between the BHO and GWB are astounding.
BHO is for prolonged and/or indefinite imprisonment for the enemy combatants taken from the battle field with no trial....just like GWB.
BHO left an opening to use ENHANCED INTERROGATION a.k.a. WATERBOARDING in case of national emergency.....just like GWB.
BHO has left the Warrantless Wiretaps in place .....just like GWB.
BHO is sending more troops into Afghanistan just like GWB did in Iraq.
The nutcakes in Iran, North Korea and Venezuela are all giving BHO the middle finger.....just like they did to GWB. They don't respect any American, the libs need to get that through their thick skulls, they hate AMERICA period end and always have, way before this administration, the last and ten before that.
BHO is operating under deficit spending much like GWB did to fund two wars only BHO placed our deficit on steroids and tripled it in a few short months with no end in sight by increasing some seriously flawed and reckless spending.
BHO put forth a flawed female Supreme Court Justice nominee just like GWB did.
Really humdwig, if you are going to hate President George W Bush you ought to return the favor to Barack Hussein Obama because I see a lot of similarities that you hated when President Bush implemented the same policies, just a new smile in the game.

Now wait a minute luci. The past two administrations did EXACTLY as the libs cried and whined about for years that we need to "use diplomacy" "talk to the bad guys" and that is what both Clinton and Bush did. Made deals with the devil rather than go to war, took the "dear leader's" word that he would back off from nukes and voila, look what all that beautiful diplomacy and TALK got us.
So which way do you want it? You tend to give out mixed messages as many libs do but you can't have it both ways. Either you support force or you support diplomacy and "TALKING' to the bad guys.
Just another FYI, Iran was part of going into Iraq, There was a VERY LOUD message being sent to them and they immediately pulled back their nuke development programs UNTIL...they heard all the caterwauling and handwringing from the libs in America about how unjust the war and how illegal, and how blah, blah, blah sounding like a bunch of cowards and it emboldened them once again. Now they don't believe anyone will stop them and they could be right, I don't hear any tough talk from the man child Barack Hussein Obama do you? So what is there for them to fear again?? Please remind us. He's going to get us all killed.

WASHINGTON (Associated Press) -- Secretary of State Clinton warns North Korea will face consequences of "belligerent" actions.
I wonder what "consequences" we have in mind? It's just political-speak.
Obama needs to quit pussyfooting around. Diplomacy isn't going to work. He needs to consider other options.

With yesterday’s nuclear test, Kim is testing Obama and his vow to “engage” the world’s rogues. Kim’s strategy is, pure and simple, to keep escalating “til he extorts more money, aid, and global recognition from the likes of the U.S. He has concluded that his multiple violations will sooner be rewarded than punished. The stakes are higher when you consider North Korea is willing to sell its missile and other technology to the likes of Iran and Syria. Bottom line is that the U.S. won’t even be able to get a Security Council resolution condemning North Korea or imposing further sanctions.
Obama is, indeed, being tested! So, what does he do - takes North Korea off the list of terrorist nations.
Ahmadinejad is just waiting in the wings for confirmation that North Korea will go unpunished. Then, he will proceed with another missile test. July 4th?
Community organizing was never this tough!

Well if your asking me, I am a firm believer in strength and it should have been used along time ago on both of those nations. I think the reactor in Iran should have been destroyed. The reactor in North Korea should have been destroyed. No they were ignored. Now the boogeyman is out, here we sit and have to negotiate due to a pretty big stick the bad guy was allowed to get. Or should we trade city for city? I feel sorry for those in Alaska, Hawaii, and the West Coast all though Phoenix is well within range.
Who exactly do you believe should have taken those out luci? Surely not the United States? Wouldn't that make us war mongers? Bullies??? Oppressors??????? Shouldn't we just talk to them?? Surely if the silver tongued Messiah gets a hold of them they won't be able to resist his charm, kiss his ring and they will dismantle their programs peacefully, wasn't that what he promised or will it be Bush's fault when they don't listen to him??? 
Had President Bush taken those reactors out, what would you have said about that? Or are you speaking of Clinton years? Barack Hussein Obama isn't going to do squat about it, that you can be assured of and the North Korean "Dear Leader" knows that as does the wacko Iranian loon. They aren't afraid of him. Do you know what that means for our future, not good. Really, not good. Fear is a healthy thing for us, we want them to fear us. That is why we have maintained our status as a Superpower all these years, until now. We are quickly becoming a joke around the world and BHO is going to have to either s**t or get off the pot. 
Wonder which one it will be???

Wow a muslim in the White House. Your still worried over that? Christians did a bang up job then didnt they? I agree on the political ramifications since the Russians and Chinese have helped Iran build it.

Well if your asking me, I am a firm believer in strength and it should have been used along time ago on both of those nations. I think the reactor in Iran should have been destroyed. The reactor in North Korea should have been destroyed. No they were ignored. Now the boogeyman is out, here we sit and have to negotiate due to a pretty big stick the bad guy was allowed to get. Or should we trade city for city? I feel sorry for those in Alaska, Hawaii, and the West Coast all though Phoenix is well within range.

Peace through Strength
By U.S. Senator Jon Kyl
President Reagan had it right when he talked about “peace through strength.” We need to keep that concept in mind today, particularly as we engage in important debates about the role of nuclear weapons in our nation’s defenses. Some say the world would be more peaceful if we eliminated nuclear weapons. Is that right?
Actually, no. While there have been many wars since 1945 (when the first atomic bomb was used), none has come close to the carnage that occurred regularly before the development of nuclear weapons; and none has pitted nuclear powers against each other.
So, the reality is that, at least for the major powers, nuclear weapons can help deter war. Today, as we face a number of threats around the world, the United States needs a nuclear deterrent for its own – and its allies’ – protection. The United States’ stockpile of nuclear weapons means our allies do not need to develop such weapons. If the U.S. began to significantly reduce the number of weapons it possessed, these 31 countries relying on our nuclear “umbrella” might begin to doubt the U.S.’s strength and, therefore, build weapons of their own.
Yet, some policymakers, seeking to attain a world without nuclear weapons, have refused to allow funding to maintain them, hoping by sheer neglect and attrition, to prevent maintenance of an effective nuclear deterrent. These are the most sophisticated weapons ever devised by man, and, unless properly maintained, could become unsafe or fail to function.
A bipartisan commission has just released a report that sounds an alarm about our aging nuclear deterrent and urges action to keep that deterrent credible and reliable.
The Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States was composed of six Democrats and six Republicans, co-chaired by William Perry (Secretary of Defense under President Clinton) and James Schlesinger (Secretary of Defense for Presidents Nixon and Ford and Secretary of Energy under President Carter). Its report makes clear that modernization of our nuclear weapons stockpile and the infrastructure to maintain those weapons is long overdue. Due to years of neglect, much of the infrastructure that maintains our deterrent is as old as the Manhattan Project of the 1940’s.
The commission assessed the nuclear weapons infrastructure and declared it “in serious need of transformation.” It also looked at the “intellectual” infrastructure, the laboratory-based scientific and technical expertise to ensure the safety, security and effectiveness of our nuclear arsenal and concluded, “The intellectual infrastructure is also in serious trouble. A major cause is the recent (and projected) decline in resources.”
To address these problems, the commission made several consensus recommendations to increase the funding for, and improve the effectiveness of, the deteriorating nuclear weapons laboratory complex that one expert has called the “soft underbelly” of our deterrent force.
Another focus of the commission was the danger of proliferation of countries like Iran and North Korea. Congress and the Obama Administration must address these threats in a meaningful way, not through treaties that assume that if we reduce our strength, other nations would respond in kind. This approach hasn’t worked in the past, and it won’t work with the Iranians and North Koreans.
The commission reached a remarkable consensus on the need for the United States to sustain a nuclear deterrent and the steps necessary to achieve it. It’s too bad that the very day the commission issued its report, President Obama’s budget recommended huge cuts in the program sustaining our nuclear deterrent. While the President is appealing to his leftist political base, our national security is jeopardized.
Peace through strength is more than a slogan. It’s critical to our survival as a nation.

Of course they know better SM, they picked on the bully they new they could beat and tied us up for nearly a decade in Iraq and left Iran and North Korea running free building the real weapons to kill us. They knew it years ago and now suddenly got a pair of their own when the bomb was finally made and tested. It is sickening to think they can sit hear and whine about it when we had the chance to nip it in the bud. Nooooo we were busy freeing Iraq from tyranny. Forget the millions living in Iran and North Korea who are actually building the weapons and keeping their populations under some of the severest repression in history. Oh and North Korea is communist so where was that tough stance when he was flipping GWB off. This is that vaunted and brilliant national security they are supposed to be so good at. Now you well see all the denial and finger pointing at others cause of their failure...

Why do you think this country can have a all the big bombs and no one else should. "Bomb em all" is your answer I bet. I would guess you find it hard to balance your check book.
Please tell us your master plan for the United States?
What's your plan then SM? Allow all the lunatics in the World "BIG BOMBS" so they can annihilate everyone in the world except for themselves because that's their plan. If you don't believe as they believe you're outta here. It's America's strength and guts that have kept these crazies at bay but now that we have a weak leader that may end. Israel will be the first to go. Is that what you want?? Really? You think we should just sit back and let that happen? Then what comes next? Ever think about the ramifications of sitting by and doing nothing?
In liberal lalala land, everybody should just luv one another, but in reality, that will NEVER happen no matter how nicey nice and kissy butt and scraping and bowing to the dictators we do. That's reality. So somebody better keep their finger in the pie that can somewhat control these wackos to maintain a semblence of sanity in our World. The United States has only used force to free the oppressed, threats to our Country, attacks on our Country, and fight back Tyranny and Communism. When we use force, we leave their country better than we found it. The USA is a noble and shining example in the World. Just because we have bigger and better bombs doesn't make us bad like the libs like to apologize for. And the World knows that. Too bad the libs don't.
