Remember the Big Talk=Small Penis rule.

He who talks the loudest is holding one of two things in his hand: a lousy set of cards or a small penis.

Kim Jong Il is desperately in need of attention. That's what that whole MiG incident was about. This little clown needs the attention of a strict Freudian.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

AA is anti-aircraft
AAA is anti-aircraft artillery i.e. guns
SAM is surface-air missiles

Usually you hear "SAM site" or "AAA battery" to indicate the deployment of these. Of course, we're dealing with the press here, and they really are semi-clueless about the military.

"North Korea would launch a ballistic missile attack on the United States if Washington..."

go ahead you puny little pork belly. We've been waiting a long time to kick your ass. We are not intimidated by your chest thumping (should I say belly thumping?). So you have 1 or 2 nukes? So what? No one seriously believes your ballistic missiles could hit anything.


this will give us the chance to finish the Korean war once and for all. After we are done, we will turn over pork bellied Kim Jong Ill to all the people he starved and let them decide what to do with him. I'm sure they have some creative ideas.

I'd like to suggest that we all pause for a minute's silent tribute to the architects of this crisis, Jimmah Carter, and the Nobel Committee that awarded him its "Peace" Prize. We should not forget the major contributions of another former president, Clinton. Our media tend to forget where credit is due.

Clueless now but about to be rapidly educated or is it embedded?

Like the game warden who feigned himself a fisherman and went out fishing with a man suspected of dynamiting fish (That lure is called a Dupont wobbler :).

When he revealed to the fisherman that he was a game warden and that the suspect was now under arrest, the fisherman ignored him, lit a stick of dynamite and handed it to the officer. Then the fisherman asked, "You gonna talk or you gonna fish?"

I was in southern California once. I stopped by a briny lake to watch the sun go down over the mountains beyond. Unfortunately, I inadvertently left my headlights on and the car wouldn't start.

Well, I had some jumper cables and figured they might act as electrodes if I dropped them in the lake. So I did, and what do you know! I could see the car start to recharge.

Just then a California Highway Patrolman stopped by. He saw what I was doing and he wrote me a ticket for.....

A Salton Battery.

It wouldn't surprise me to see this lead deficiency remedied. President Bush will probably quietly rescend the executive order against political assassinations and this little nut case is history. Hopefully, the CIA has identified people who can form a new government that we can work with. If the Chinese complain, tell them that they should have dealt with the nut case before it became a problem that we had to deal with.

Bush needs to restate, to no one dictator in particular, that any nuclear weapon that falls on the US will be answered with the complete destruction of the country that sent it. We won't go for regime change. We will go for "strike that country from the map".

And if that nuke arrives via a container ship with "no return address", what then? I understand that nuke material has a distinctive "signature" that will allow us to track it back to the reactor that produced it, but what if that material is delivered via a state-less terror group? These are some of the questions that keep presidents awake at night -- Clinton excepted, of course!

"If American forces carry out a pre-emptive strike on the Yongbyon facility, North Korea will immediately target, carry the war to the US mainland," he said, adding that New York, Washington and Chicago would be "aflame".

Speaking of fools, this is the perfect illustration for the mental deficients who argue and whine that "why should the U.S. not allow other countries to have nuclear weapons when the U.S. has them?"

Some countries are more responsible than others.
To my knowledge, China and North Korea are the only two countries who have ever threatened another country explicitely, even to the point of naming targets.

For most rational adults, that, right there is enough to answer the stupid question.

Kim Myong-chol, who has links to the Stalinist regime, told reporters in Tokyo that a US strike on the nuclear facility at Yongbyon "means nuclear war". "If American forces carry out a pre-emptive strike on the Yongbyon facility, North Korea will immediately target, carry the war to the US mainland," he said, adding that New York, Washington and Chicago would be "aflame".

I wonder why he named targets beyond the reach of North Korea's missiles? Suitcase bombs? Dirty nukes?

Finally, a press report that says it like it is "a Stalinist regime", everyone take note who is the string puller of North Korea.


NOT CHINA BUT RUSSIA

Yeah, I know...the average Kim-in-the-street is blameless.I feel sorry for their suffering to a degree but its not my or our fault or doing.

I would say, however, that this insistence in talking directly to the US is nonsense. We have nothing to do with him. The only reason we are engaged at all is to keep the noko's above the 38th parallel. This so-called non-agression pact he wants is bogus too. We haven't attacked in 50yrs. If lil il is feeling lonely and isolated, its not up to us to fill up his dance card. I am saying he can eff off.
