If handled correctly, that would not be necessary, i.e. to that extent. But the more this drags on, the more that becomes the only horrid possibility, other than that, WE get it ourselves (or our allies).

What was working with the Bush Administration was slow economic strangulation, which they abandoned from 2005 or so, in favor of State Department-led appeasement. It is a pipe dream to think Obama will go back to that policy, the best of all options, which means I am afraid this thing will fester and then really blow up in everyone's face.

Why did they stop the strangulation? Seems like that is what the UN is talking about now isn’t it?

Hussein wishes Rat Boy and Lil' Kim to have their nukes--for he is an Islmo-Communist.

Hussein does not wish Israel and America to have nukes--he's an Israel-hater and an America-hater.

Douglas MacArthur wanted to use nuclear weapons but Harry Truman fired him.

While George W. Bush wanted to stop Kim, the Clintons and Madeleine didn't want America to be the sole superpower--translation, they wanted to give China our missile and warhead advantage.

Hussein wants America to be blackmailed by both Iran and North Korea.

To ask how can Obama stop North Korea (and/or Iran) is to accept a premise I posit is false, namely, that Obama wishes to stop North Korea and Iran.

First we will enact a political reversal--many exuberant FReepers tout Palin-Bolton--or Petraeus-Bolton.

Obama hates America and will hold North Korea and Iran harmless in their headlong pursuit of nuclear capability.

In this he will pretend to be the Thugo de Thugs.

It's a terribly dangerous train running down a hell-bound track.

Let's see a defiant Israel stomp Iran and then see how Kim expects to market his toys.
