AUSTIN Gov. Rick Perry today released the following statement regarding the death of Kim Jong Il:
The death of vicious dictator Kim Jong Il provides some cause for hope but does not automatically end the reign of inhumane tyranny he and his father constructed. Twenty-three million people still live under North Koreas isolationist, inhumane and tyrannical policies. North Korea remains a nuclear power, and there is a great threat that those weapons might fall into the wrong hands if civil war breaks out.
At the same time, Kim Jong Ils death is an opportunity to reunify the peninsula if the situation is handled effectively. Kim Jong Un is an unknown quantity, and may not be able to maintain power. The United States must now strongly reaffirm our commitment to our Asian allies, particularly South Korea, and maintain a strong military, diplomatic, and economic presence in the Pacific region during this period. We should also engage with China, and encourage Beijing to work towards a peaceful transition from a grim dictatorship to a free Korea.

Once again, Rick Perry “Gets it”.
Great reply from the Governor.
Compare that to the mourning and weeping that Jimmy Carter expressed.
Thanks, shield!
Words from a person that thinks he knows how to run other people's business.
Ron Paul probably sent flowers.
I like Perry - he has his feet planted in the right place. Wish he had done better in the debates - he’d make a decent POTUS I suspect.
However, what I think doesn’t matter much since I’m on the west coast so my vote in any primary is meaningless.
It is called using diplomacy at an opportune time.
“since I’m on the west coast so my vote in any primary is meaning less” Yup. I’m in Oregon so my vote in the general is also just as meaning less.
HA!HA! A chip off the old block. Like father-like son. Bet he likes porno flicks as well.
I”m in Oregon also. Sucks to not really have a voice in who we get for our candidate.

Freakin cowards.
They are the spam monkeys...definitely cowards and I know who they are!!!
He gets it.
Your support now is important. It is the ripple effect. I think Perry has many quiet supporters that should speak up.
In the meantime, we are led to believe there is an avalanche of support for others via the MSM and established endorsements.
Your primary may be late, but you can speak up now.
