not a threat? why even the tea party attendees were labeled as terrorists by the obamabunch......our own military are under suspicion, yet NK is not a threat? children playing at running the country.....not a sane adult among them.

“...he could skip Israel and hit some major Saudi oil fields - refineries<

Which would wake up the American people with a determination to not remain dependent on foreign oil but instead develop their own oil producing industry.

Obama Defense Secretary Says North Korea NOT A THREAT

While he is now working for Obama, he was appointed by Bush. Why not just refer to him as "Defense Secretary Gates?"

Who cares who appointed him. Who is Defense Secretary Gates working for now? Hence, "Obama Defense Secretary." =.=

Bill Casey (Reagan’s DCI) must surely be turning in his grave to hear his one time protege speaking this kind of craziness.

While it seems that everyone wants to overstate the threat that North Korea represents, it is just as dangerous to understate it, and Gates has just done that, and by his words may spur Comrade Chia Pet to up the ante to demonstrate that “by gorry, we ARE a thleat, a velly, velly SELIOUS thleat!”

Nice work Gates, you dunce.

I wonder how South Korea feels about Obama’s stance right now.

I wonder how Larry Craig feels about that stance.

It would help much if the headline matched Gates’ comment. The fact that this isn’t a crisis does not equate to NK not being a threat. A crisis requires immediate action. We have been working on the NK problem for at least 16 years and we have no answer. The answer will come when they give us a good excuse to bomb their nuclear and missile facilities and that will be that. I don’t see that happening for some time. But of course it will happen. The North Koreans are truly nuts.

Gates, you are a schmuck.

A worthless, mindless schmuck.

After reading your statements, you are the type who will probably die before acknowledging just how wrong you and the other Obama lackeys are.

God help us all.

Especially if members of the previous administration sit by silently and prefers to get reamed.

Don't kid yourself. They (Bushies) know exactly what they're doing, because they're in the same rowboat pulling in the same direction. OhhhhBaby and his folks are on the left oars and Bush 41 & 43 are on the right oars pulling just as hard. The destination? Communist state, NWO style.

Obama “They are just little countries”.... they don’t pose any threat to the great big USA...

A good reporter would ask Obama... “Mr. President, do you believe the arrogance of the United States is what caused radical groups to attack us on 911”?

>Make me Prez and I’ll declare it vital to National Security and get it done.<

No, I shall not vote for you unless you plan to develop an oil industry based on CRUDE. Coal gasification was already practiced by nazi Germany, but gasoline production via the crude process is so much cheaper. Besides, what good is that beautiful black (or sometimes wiskey colored) liquid doing in the ground, unused? A waste of one of God’s many blessings of our country.

I think you’re right. Not a crisis, but definitely a threat.

“I don’t think that anybody in the [Obama] administration thinks there is a crisis,” Mr. Gates told reporters
_____________
Gates wonder why everyone hasn’t figured out the only crisis in this administration will be ones that they themselves create.

“Gates mustn’t be getting any sleep.”

OTOH, Obama’s been looking like he’s sleeping quite well.

Kim Jong Il can’t hit America at this time.

He has nuclear weapons and he has boats.

What more does he need?
