Don’t worry.....I’m sure if they attack our bases, our _resident will wait till ‘Un’ leaves North Korea, and then have him arrested and tried in NY City....

This is just more extortion by the PRK. It has worked before. They become more bellicose and we respond with aid packages.

Note that B-2 bombers not only can carry two 30,000 pound bunker busters, but also the 22,600 pound, air burst, MOAB.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_Massive_Ordnance_Air_Blast_bomb

This is a very large area surface thermobaric, aka “fuel-air” bomb.

“The overpressure within the detonation can reach 430 psi and the temperature can be 4,500 to 5,400 °F (2,500 to 3,000°C). Outside the cloud, the blast wave travels at over 2 miles per second - 7200 mph.”

In practical terms, this is about comparable to an 11 kiloton nuclear air burst, except with a much longer blast wave. For reference, the “Little Boy” bomb dropped on Hiroshima was about 16 kilotons.

The US turning into Queersville doesn’t help our image either.

At least their kids are free to play with toy rifles. In the USA you’d earn a SWAT raid for letting your kid do that.

“What did Obama do to cause the poor North Koreans to hate us?”

Project weakness.

Bullies like nothing better than the strong becoming weak enough to threaten.

I’m glad I’m not a kid growing up today. All we ever did was play guns, or do dangerous things outside.

O assumed power because he promised Laqueesha and her seven fatherless children a free phone and unlimited welfare. Black people voted him in at 95% without a single one ever stopping to think that one day he might have to make a decision like this. I am betting 90% of those don’t even know what N Korea is. As long as the welfare checks keep coming...

However, hungry, desperate people can be formidable foes. I don’t for a minute believe the norks could do significant damage to the US mainland. I do believe they could raise real hell with South Korea, and I don’t think a land war with them would be a particulary good idea, given the president we have and economic conditions.And then there is always the possibility of China starting to smell blood.I don’t subscribe to the crowd that says “just throw a couple of tomahawks at them and forget them” Wars have a way of generating unintended consequences. Same with Iran, The Russians could get involved pretty easily in any conflict with them. Sure would be nice if Reagan was president right now,IMHO.

I think us Texans could take the norks on OK. But we’d have to provide our own transportation and weapons, we’d get no help from the feds....

Take a swing, fat boy .. the South could prolly use the parking !

That sounds like Bush babble.

Then Bush proceeded to wage a, "Compassionate war" costing thousands of American lives while looting the American treasure to the tune of multiple trillions.

In the end, we won sky high gas prices and the Mideastern religious fanatics still hate us and want to kill us.

If I was a Dictator and I met someone representing the United States that looked and acted like Dennis Rodman, my first response would be to want to BOMB THEM TOO.

Had a strange dream last night. I was viewing a missle launch through a large plate glass window overlooking an ocean. Very dark. From a platform at sea a rocket launched and I realized the Norks did it. Followed the rocket over the horizon until out of view. Then mushroom cloud. Then heard that impact was over the ocean.

Could have been the pizza I ate before going to bed. :/

No argument there.
However if this same dynamic were a Conservative story, it would be a 24/7 MSM circus. You’d be living breathing and s&^%%ing this information.

It’s a documented voting pattern and one the Liberals routinely bank on with success. However, ... there isn’t a single news documentary or any other reporting on this kind of voting pattern.
