... might also try to conquer the entire peninsula...

They could do it in a week! ROK forces will fold and our people, 36,000... those who are left will be hostages.

They say we have 46,000 troops in Japan. Cannon fodder. They'll go in deaf, dumb and blind.

1950 all over again! Pusan perimeter at best.

The Chinee will back up her little buddy with whatever it needs.

Bush needs to strike and strike now. Send them a message... GET OUT OF DODGE!

Bush does not need to strike now. He needs to keep our forces on a hair trigger and use tactical nukes just over the DMZ when and if they cross it. In addition he would need to hit all areas in North Korea with tactical or strategic nukes that hold weapons of mass destruction.

Once air superiority is established (about 10 minutes after their bases glow in the dark) puff the magic dragon will kill all those whom do not surrender.

If we are not prepared to answer them with "what ever it takes" we may see the slaughter of many Americans and South Koreans. Our president will not let this happen.

Hummmm, or not.
I dare say the US Marines from OKI would not be the cannon fodder.
The (first) use of nukes would most certainly raise the stakes in the US V China game. Maybe some of those "baby" neutron devices employed would make the difference.
But only after the FAE worked over the N Koreans. Limited access routes favor air power, and that we have in spades.
China may be as nervous about Kim and crew with atomic bombs as we are...they now have a lot more to lose.

Hoo-ah
