Defense Secretary Robert Gates, en route to an annual security summit in Singapore Friday, signaled as much, saying North Korea’s actions so far do not warrant sending more US troops to the region.
“I don’t think that anybody in the [Obama] administration thinks there is a crisis,” Mr. Gates told reporters aboard his military jet early Friday morning, still Thursday night in Washington.
Meanwhile South Korea children are doing something similar to our duck and cover drills at the height of the Cold War.

Well if Zero’s Defense Secretary says North Korea is not a threat, then it must be so. He must also remember if that turns out to be untrue, Zero won’t be able to blame the previous administration.
Yeah, what are they? The size of one of the smaller of the 57 states...Bitterclingonia, maybe.
Well alllllllllllriiiighhhhtttttttttty then, I guess I can sleep safe and secure tonite, whew!

Not a threat or not a crisis that immediately calls for the redeployment of troops? I think those are two different things.
I wonder how South Korea feels about Obama’s stance right now.
Is there something in the water over at the Pentagon?

I’d be more concerned in a short time if I lived in Hawaii.
In fact, I would move.
Hey don’t worry about the guy with the gun in your back he is here to check things out and is of no concern to your life style. If you believe this you are in for a big suprise when the gun goes off and you die.
I imagine Mr. Gates knows more about that than we do. He's not the sort of guy who would say something like that without reason.

I’m sure they would have uttered the same comments after the Cole was hit or after 9/11. Zero says there’s nothing to be concerned about therefore God has spoken.

He’s ground zero for crisis!!!......
“Zero won’t be able to blame the previous administration.”
I think that’s the biggest reason he kept Gates. So he could blame the Bush admin.
