So what exactly is a “firm stand”? Is that different from the usual “dim view” they take? The truth is we aren’t going to do anything about NK. What could we do? Invade? Bomb the heck out of them? Even if some think that’s a swell idea, it’s not going to happen. This is all bluster. The only country that can influence NK right now is China. The ball is in their court.

I’m fed up with all these politicians. Anyone who thinks they are going to do what they say is delusional.

Hey, how about not cutting funding for Missile Defense? If we can’t hit North Korea, we should at least be able to defend our selves, right? That’s where the difference lies between Palin and 0bama.

Who really cares if SP’s call for a firm stand means anything. The important thing is to attempt to put 0bama on the defensive. SP realizes she has to steadily chip away at this buffoon’s clay feet from now until Nov. ‘12.

A firm stand is like what Bush 41 told Saddam Hussein, "This will not stand". Then kicking ass, as needed.

When we went in to Iraq Kim did a duck dive into one of his special bunkers. At heart like all dictators, he is a coward.

IfI were President,I would announce the assemblage of a joint military exercise with the SouthKoreans including the enire 82nd Airborne, an armored division or two and a pre-positioning of heavy air force units.

The little punk would throttle back pretty quickly.

I agree with you, I am fed up with the politicians and don’t believe any of them. As to what we can do about Korea- if China is the only one that can influence them- who do we have talking to the Chinese besides Pelosi? I know her function was to talk to them about the global warming issue- I hope she is not representing our interests in this Korea issue. That is a real scary thought to me- I don’t see her doing anything but making it worse all the way around if she opened her mouth on this with the Chinese.
