Update 2: According to YONHAP news agency, 104 sailors were on board and only 58 have been accounted for.

Update: And now WSJ says a Korean ship went down near the border, probably due to a torpedo.

Original post: Check out gold! Rumor going around has to do with hostilities between the Koreas.

This comes the same day comments from North Korean media about Kim Jon Il wanting to drop a nuke on the west, so you can see why folks are jittery.

So is it official? Did North Korea just ‘declare’ war on South Korea with this act?

They have been at war I think. A formal truce was never signed.

If the North invades the South, Barry will call on the South to exercise restraint.

Had a conservative president been sitting in the Oval Office, I doubt the N Korea would have attacked. Knowing that this president is, in essence, a Marxist and in concert with their ideology, Communists believe they’re in the drivers seat now.

The Lord is in my drivers seat, and I hope he’s yours as well. May He have mercy.
