The name of the US Naval ship that is following the NKorean ship is USS John McCain. That should tell you what they will do. Most likely, nothing.

The U.S. naval ship should fire UN resolutions at the North Korean ship.

Pretty funny if you ask me. There’s a long tradition of poking fun at speeling mistakes here on FR. Check out Hugh and Series. FR classics.

Can’t really comment on the quality of this navel ship until I see the rest of the fleet.

I agree it was my fault and my spelling error, but I would like to add that the viciousness and outright glee that is shown by many who pounce on such errors here on Free Republic is something that I find most disheartening, more like something I expect over on Huffington or DU.
I would think that if you feel so compelled to point out such an error you would use a bit of civility about it and send a private post, but then a private post would not allow you to publicly mock and humiliate the poster would it. I leave it up to you to decide why you need to do so.

I wonder if The Chosen One will have the balls to inspect the ship once they’re past Chinese waters??

What no one is really understanding is if the ship makes it to Myranmar the Dictatorship of Myranmar will use the materials on innocent people.

Maybe the Chosen One doesn't remember President Bush's sanctions on Myranmar (known as Burma here in the USA still) last October 2007. This government approved of killing the Buddha Monks in 2007.

The tsunami in the Spring of 2008 killed thousands and the Government gave no warning to the people who lived in the port area where the NOKO ship will be docking.

I guess the POTUS today only cares about his own skin-and I don't care what fricking color it is - the man is not a man of color he is a man who only cares about himself.

So far as I can tell, The Chosen One's foreign policy is to reward our enemies and ignore our friends. So, letting this ship get through to Burma would be just like him.

There have been rumors Burma is trying to develop nukes - maybe this is it.

So that’s you excuse for an uncivil act? Let me see if I have this straight a person makes an error and that automatically gives someone else the right to be rude? Sounds like you haven’t grown beyond the civility of your grade school days. As to your statement for me to ‘lighten up’ about your rude behavior I say it speaks volumes as to your thinking, it was rude of me to not realize that you are the victim here and it is my behavior which has been rude and offensive, so since I am the one at fault let me extend to you my deepest apology for my lack of being able to ‘lighten up’ to your rude grade school behavior.

The UN’s response will be to hire some third-world hookers, throw a Mazola party, then, on a pair of thong panties, draft a (very tiny) resolution calling the North Koreans “poopyheads” and blaming their hostility on the United States.

Then they’ll demand more money and send the cleanup bill to Hillary Clinton, who has experience in such matters.
