Why I am having a HUGH sense of deja vu about this??

Oh, wait, go back about 10-15 years or so, when Saddam Hussein was waving his middle finger at the UN repeatedly, and the UN came out with how many ‘resolutions’ to make him behave?!?

The UN hasn’t changed in all those years, NK and Iran and Hamas and Hezbollah are going to whatever the heck they want!! D’oh.

And this time, America isn’t going to be around to step up to the plate, thanks to HolyO and his “Kumbayah Krowd”—disgusting!! >:-(

Gee, remember when the Euro-weenies were so discusted with Bush the cowboy and volunteered to handle Iran’s nuclear aspirations via diplomacy? He said “Y’all go right ahead!” Since then we have seen the success of their course of action. Oh wait....

There is no such thing as the “international community”. Most countries don’t care what North Korea does, and certainly would not join the U.S. to oppose North Korean aggression. As usual, we carry the load while the rest of the world just watches.

The only thing Kim will understand is force.

“a matter of grave concern” is the most overused cliche by Demoncrats whenever our National Security is challenged. I am so sick of this. DO YOUR JOB BO OR GET OUT!

Acutally the draft will be developed by an elite working group.

“They didn’t give us any warning whatsoever,” one senior U.S. intelligence official who works on North Korean issues told FOX News.

John Bolton warned us that this would happen with Obama/Hillary. The people who now control our foreign policy are true believers in the value of talk. They will hold talks to solve problems and if they fail, they will hold more talks...ad infinitum.

*Not reckless, smart. They know that under Bush such tests would have consequences. Under Obama, well, we will send them money to pay for more tests.*

I have to call bullsh*t on this, because the Norks tried to test while Bush was still in office and it fizzled. Bush did nothing and could not because he had already shot his wad at Saddam.

I’m sure he thought “Oh well, might as well let the Dems try to ass-kiss their way out of this than get blamed for 3 wars during your term.”

At what particular point do we as American’s figure out we have been placed in an extremely precarious and dangerous position by the policies of the Obama Administration?

World leaders are thumbing their noses at the wishes of the kid who would be King... and the one the Media and the international community seem to have the most problem with is, of course Israel’s Netanyahu.

We are, as they say in the South, “up to our necks in shinola” (I don’t know that we really say that, but we should)!

Iran, Iraq, North Korea.

States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world.

O'dumbo should have just said this....

What?

Iraq is no longer a threat you say?

Glad to see that the CIA is up to its usual standards.

North Korea knows the modern “world community” is full of anti-war pussies that they can walk over

The troubling part is that this very description applied in spades to the situation in the 1930's between Hitler and the "western democracies." After Hitler re-militarized the Rhineland and no one, especially France, responded, the die was cast for Europe and its fate was sealed.

Notwithstanding Clinton and Bush's fumbling around, Obama's feckless nonresponse and the rest of the west's supine posture at a critical time bodes very ill for the future.

Obama: North Korea ‘recklessly challenging’ International community.


Talk is cheap pupil Obama and the N. Koreans figured that one out a while back. They’re not recklessly challenging the international community, they’re recklessly challenging you. Now put some muscle behind that hustle. If you’re going to shoot shoot don’t talk.

Don't you love how, when it's an issue he doesn't have the stones to address, it now runs afoul of the "international community" ?

translation= not my responsibility!

You don’t just go out one morning and crank up a nuclear bomb. This has been in the works for years, and any number of Congresses and Administrations could have destroyed this program and chose not to pay the tought price.

My gut reaction: They either wanted this or they didn’t care if it happened. If they’d cared, there was plenty of time to stop it.

Ho-hum. Refresh my memory - the "world community" has how many divisions? That it will commit to this project?

Yeah, that's what I thought.
