North Korea Vows 'Thunderbolt Of Fire' Against US Warships
New York Post ^ | April 2, 2009 | By Clemente Lisi

Posted on 04/03/2009 7:07:40 AM PDT by Strategy

North Korea threatened today to "launch a thunderbolt of fire" if the "slightest effort" is made by the US to intercept a long-range rocket it plans to launch this weekend, according to a report.

President Obama, who is attending the G-20 summit in London, warned the rocket launch would be a "provocative act" that would generate a UN Security Council response.

But North Korea's military shrugged at Obama's words and threatened those who opposed the launch with a "thunderbolt of fire," according to a report by the Korean Central News Agency.

In a reference to US warships that have set sail to monitor the launch, the report said North Korea claims the Americans "should immediately withdraw armed forces deployed if it does not want to receive damage."

They have to use a thunderbolt of fire because the Muslims bought all the rivers of blood.

So, they are launching a simple little communication satellite? Nothing to worry about? But if we cause trouble they will unleash a thunderbolt of fire which will devastate our warships?

But it's just a communications satellite, right? It's not like they're developing a nuclear weapon delivery system or anything, right?

Finger wagging, beard stroking, and tongue clucking will all be on the table, Kim!

I bet the North Koreans are shaking in their boots with that threat.

So it begins. Our President defers to the UN if we are attacked. I assume he means that he wouldn’t know what to do and wouldn’t rely on our military.

It was “tear off an arm” in the 50s and 60s.

Is a thunderbolt of fire what happens when a chiaprompter short circuits?

President Obama, who is attending the G-20 summit in London, warned the rocket launch would be a "provocative act" that would generate a UN Security Council response.

A UN Security Council response?

Where's the OMG OH NOZ graphic?

I suppose they will save the hand-wringing and tsk-tsk-ing for a later response.

Not to worry. With the democrats now in power, we can sleep soundly...

From the website of the Workers World Party:

"Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il...

With his leadership [Kim Il Sung], the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine. ...

Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ..."

With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party" (1994):

Photo of Charlie Rangel at the podium of a March 19th, 2005 Workers World Party/Troops Out Now rally in Harlem, New York. The occasion marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. The photo comes from the ("We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ...") Workers World Party website.

Also appearing at this "peace" rally with the demonRat Charlie Rangel, now chairman of The House Ways and Means Committee, were Saddam Hussein lawyer, Ramsey Clark and convicted terrorist enabler/attorney, Lynne Stewart. Clark, with Workers World Party, started up that other 'peace' group, A.N.S.W.E.R. Clark also heads the International Action Center and was actually once Attorney General of the United States under democrat LBJ.

Behind the Placards
The odd and troubling origins of today’s anti-war movement
David Corn, November 07, 2002

"Officially, the organizer of the Washington demonstration was International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). But ANSWER is run by WWP [Workers World Party] activists, to such an extent that it seems fair to dub it a WWP front. Several key ANSWER officials -- including spokesperson Brian Becker -- are WWP members. Many local offices for ANSWER’s protest were housed in WWP offices. Earlier this year, when ANSWER conducted a press briefing, at least five of the 13 speakers were WWP activists. They were each identified, though, in other ways, including as members of the International Action Center.

The IAC, another WWP offshoot, was a key partner with ANSWER in promoting the protest. It was founded by Ramsey Clark, attorney general for President Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s."

Strange, isn’t it...the only people afraid of Hussein are American businessmen and citizens who enjoy freedom.
