It does smell a bit like we’re doing something to poke the mad dog enough to get him to bite.

Which begs the question ... is there a reason that this administration wants to wag the dog right now?

Obamatollah needs a distraction.

Announced today: 90 Million Americans NOT in workforce.

Lowest level since 1979.

It bothers me just a bit that one of the targets is Austin, TX.

That’s about 20 miles as the crow flies from my house.

Exactly right! First they send bombers over to antagonize and poke at the crazy person to try and make Obama look strong and then when they get the obvious reaction they want to back off to deescalate the situation. This is just more proof of how inept this administration is.

Nah...that dog could care less...he’s simply staying with the traditional play book....scare everybody...get worldwide attention....force backchannel consessions...and come out the victor.

He’s on the fence, not too many options left but to fire...has to save face among his own...no choice but to go forward now...he got out on that limb all by himself.

Based on what I’m seeing, it looks like the Norks are the ones poking the dog. Kim Jong Un is just taking his father’s place at the chess board imo. He wants something and this posturing gets it. perhaps it’s respect from his military leaders. Perhaps he’s just sparring with Obama to see what kind of opponent he is. Perhaps he just wants to intimidate Obama or test the measure of his resolve. Perhaps he wants to go to war and have us turn his palace and his country into rubble with 1,000 lb bombs but I doubt it.

0bamugabe would love to hand the entire region to the North government, just as he asked Mubarak to step down and turn Egypt into Iran. Anything that lessens the number of America-friendly governments.. 0bama is all for it!
