United States B-52 bombers carried out simulated nuclear bombing raids on North Korea as part of ongoing U.S.-South Korean military exercises, Pentagon officials said on Monday.

Pentagon press secretary George Little told reporters that B-52 bombers from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, conducted a training mission over South Korea March 8 during war games known as Exercise Foal Eagle.

I’m not implying anything. Who do you thinmk runs this palnet? It sure isn’t little barry basatrd boy or his soicalist shuck and jive minions. The Norks react to the way they are treated by the ‘international community’, who are behaving as insturcted by their superiors at the top of the banking pyramid schemes.

Too bad we got rid of the ACM’s. I still never understood why you’d get rid of your best stealthy missiles. I assume it was to placate Russia/China, but it’s still stupid.
