Should we be afraid that they are testing nukes within their borders? By the way, don’t we have 10,000 nuclear weapons at our disposal to defend our country with compared to the possible 6 that North Korea is claimed to have? In fact, we don’t even know if they’ve been able to weaponize their bombs or missiles either, so what is the big deal? Hey, if George Bush could ignore North Korea for 8 long years, why stop now? If you think about it, President Obama is dead set against any kind of nuclear testing or using nuclear weapons and was furious today with the North Koreans, but then again, we had George Bush in the White House who had no problem with nuclear testing and is the same guy who did nothing for years whenever Kim Jong Il reared his ugly head…BUT!…North Korea never attacked us….not even once despite this.
HERE’S A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO HANDLING KIM Jong IL: if Kim Jong Il has real nuclear weapons and is testing the real thing, there is a very good chance one of these missiles could explode over his mansion killing him. And you know what? I’m thinking if President Obama played his cards right, he could convince some of the North Korean military personnel who are launching these missiles for testing to do just that! Yeah, yeah, what a great way for the North Koreans to take their country back…..by launching an “oopsie” missiles that kills their own president!
I like that idea.
All kidding aside…
I like Insidious Prophet’s thoughts on the nuke test today:
Is it just a coincidence that the North Koreans would conduct such a test on a day which we remember our fallen soldiers?
Or is Kim Jung Ill being used as a useful tool of fear? I sometime get the feeling that these little piss ant dictators like Ill and Ahmadinejad are just useful little puppets used by the Master puppets of the world to invoke fear into the hearts of the rest of us.
Now why would those who control the world want to invoke fear into us? It makes us submissive. It equates to big $$$$ for the war/defense industry.
I recall at a press conference, a Bush state department spokesman telling the press that we were selling a missile defense system to Poland so that they could defend themselves against future missile attacks from North Korea and Iran…North Korea and Iran!?! Not one person in the media questioned this absurdity. We are being played, played badly by the government and the media which serves well for the war/defense industry.
It’s very possible Kim Jong Il is a tool, but whose tool? What if we found out that Dick Cheney is conspiring right now with the North Koreans to attack America with nukes (ole Dickster did point out recently that the next attack on our nation would be with nukes! At least he was being nice this time by letting us know ahead of time!), so he can get his much wanted illegal war in Iran to profit from? Hey, could be. Even though Cheney is out of office, he’s still briefed by our intelligence agencies and the Pentagon (According to Think Progress in 2007, Rumsfeld was still part of the Defense Department even though he was “fired” by George Bush from the Pentagon. Is he still there? No one knows), so he still has ties to his buddies. As we all know, Cheney wants us to continue to be afraid. Soooo….
Were you afraid to your core today when you heard the news that North Korea had tested a nuke in the ground? I wasn’t. I don’t think anyone in America should be afraid and that includes Hawaii, the West Coast, and Alaska especially. Personally, I think Kim Jong Il is all hat and no cattle and just a lonely loser…
Ignoring is strength? Okay. Just remember if we go to war with Iran or North Korean (thanks to George Bush ignoring and/or threatening both!), you will have to support it because you neocons love war, right? You told us this for 8 years that you did.
Your psychopathic leader said in not so many words, “I will let future presidents handle my messes”. He sucked as a leader no different than the CEO of AIG or the banks. Ran the country into the ground and then laid the blame elsewhere!
Bush is no longer in office although when you listen to obama he still is. When is he going to take control of his office. Joe Biden was correct when he said the presidency is not a position for OJT.
I hope all of obamas community organizing skills will help him resolve this issue and make the world a close community so we can hold hands and sing combyya.
President Obama has only been president for 4 FREAKING MONTHS. This is why George Bush’s reign of terror is still being felt by the country. We are not over it and some of us (like me) will go to my grave hating the man’s guts for what he and Dickey did. Capice?
Has it only been four months. Amazing what he has accomplished in only four months.
Unemployment up
Bankruptcy up
Home prices Down 19% in first quarter
Federal deficit doubled
Respect of the world, none would help him in Afghanistan, N Korea feared him so much after the first missile launch and his threat about action they fired another and tested a nuclear bomb
Where is all the jobs he was going to create with his “gotta have the stimulus money now” campaign.
Where is his transparent government, even he doesn’t know where the 600 billion has gone.
Hell of a leader, can’t wait for the next four months
He caused unemployment? Do you remember the Bush years or are one of those typical right wingers who has selective memory to make yourself feel better? Same goes for bankruptcies, record foreclosures, house values going down, credit card companies playing their games, $60 TRILLION IN HEDGE FUND DEBT, banks collapsing, companies collapsing, over 3 million in lost jobs and counting….I mean, really, George Bush’s America is still in force and this is why it could take a few more years to get anywhere back to normal if that’s at all possible!
But keep telling yourself that all of this is President Obama’s fault, because we know you have to….to make yourself feel better about the GEORGE BUSH…..THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES ALONG WITH THE POLITICAL PARTY HE BELONGS TO!
so lets see capitalist.. Bush isnt to blame for 9/11 cause it happened only 8 months into his term (even though he was warned a month in advance) but Obama is to blame for stuff that happened days after he took the oath?
What a hypocrite.
Chris, the next 9/11 attack on America will also be Bush & Cheney’s fault because these two benefited from the last one. Also, they didn’t tell the American people that Osama bin Laden is dead and has been dead for years, so that means the next 9/11 attack will be more blood on their hands since it’s their underlings who have screeched for years that 9/11 happened because Bill Clinton didn’t kill or capture Osama on his watch. See? It’s very simple.
LOL Chris. Nice, huh? Everything George Bush did during his 8 years is Bill Clinton’s fault and everything President Obama does on his watch is his own fault and not George Bush’s! Apparently republicans continue to believe that they are never to blame for their own actions. Asswipes…
I do remember things were doing fine until; 2007, oops thats when the democrats gained control and things fell apart. The one consistent thing about a liberal is it is always someone elses fault.
I lost my job but it is not my fault
I lost my house but it is not my fault
I have no education but it is not my fault
I am poor but it is not my fault
We’ve gone through this 8 million times: CAPITALIST PIG, HOW MANY DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WERE THERE IN THE SENATE FROM 2006-2008?
things were fine til 2007??????
ask the people in New Orleans about that. Or Iraq. Or anyone who was wiretapped (that includes everyone). Or ask someone who got anthrax. Or ask the prisoners tortured by the government.
Your view of history is a little off, sorry.
The majority Kay.
So, one Democratic Senator majority was a landslide victory and the republicans didn’t have any control? Huh? Go back through the roll call votes from 2006 to 2008 and you will see lots of losses for the Democrats because their one seat majority was laughable.
WE ARE WORKING TO MAKE SURE THE REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE ARE FEWER AND FEWER EACH ELECTION YEAR. Our nation depends on this.
