He doesn’t want to ruffle their feathers because he is on THEIR SIDE.

Actually, this is a rare moment of clarity from the Obamoids. It wasn’t an act of terrorism. It was an act of war.

Terrorism does not consist in acts of war we don’t like, but in the war-crime of deliberately targetting civilians (with the intent to create fear). As the Norks didn’t target civilians, it wasn’t terrorism, nor for that matter a war-crime, just a breach of an armistice which would give any of the other parties the armistice the right under international law to resume hostilities without any further diplomatic niceties.

Why would the administration make such a statement? Without a quid pro quo, this would be a statement of weakness.

There is no point in other countries being our allies until this disgrace is out of office.

It wasn’t terrorism, it was an act of war.

It’s an act of war that should at minimum have cost N Korea a couple of ships. Obama seems to think it doesn’t quite rise to the level of a purse snatching.

The State Department said Monday that the March sinking of the frigate Cheonan was a "provocative action" and a violation of the truce that ended the Korean war.

Hmmm. How many "provocative actions," "man-made disasters," and dead people does it take to cancel a presidential golf outing?

South Koreans aren’t black. It’s as simple as that.

It amazes how long this traitor Obozo and his merry band of communists have been allowed to carry on their destruction.

It has become “in your face” to Americans.

I suppose we think it will all will out in an election.

maybe, but I doubt it.

Why must we attach labels to everything and then argue the appropriateness of the label instead of the thing so labeled. Can you say diversion?

SoKo and NoKo are still technically at war. The sinking of the ship was not terrorism. If it was, then the US was guilty of hundreds of acts of terrorism by sinking Japanese and German warships in WWII.

The “Manchurian Candidate from Mecca” is correct - when a torpedo from one nation’s warship sinks the warship of another nation, an act of war, not terrorism, has occurred.

Obama is a liar and a coward. A yellow belly.
