The time for O’s mettle test is here: North Korea prepares for war

Joe Biden said our unseasoned Dear Leader would soon be tested. The time is here and now. North Korea tonight has abandoned a 1953 ceasefire and is preparing the peninsula for war in the wake of South Korea’s decision to side with an anti-proliferation coalition led by the U.S.

Wonder if that red phone woke him and Hillary up yet. Brrrrrr–ing. Brrrr–ing:

North Korea’s military says it considers South Korea’s participation in a U.S.-led program to intercept ships suspected of spreading weapons of mass destruction tantamount to a declaration of war against the North.

The communist North’s military said in a statement Wednesday that it will respond with “immediate, strong military measures” if the South actually stops and searches any North Korean ships under the Proliferation Security Initiative.

The statement, carried by the North’s Korean Central News Agency, said North Korea no longer considers itself bound by the armistice that ended the Korean War, as a protest over the South’s participation.

Flashback October 2008:

“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Flashback February 2008:

Right now, the intel is that the NoKos can’t make a nuclear device small enough to fit on a missile. The only thing they can blow up is themselves.

My God…is it possible for someone’s IQ to regress daily? It has to be somehow medically impossible for someone to be this unintelligent.

So, in your mind, a missile is the only way in which a nuclear device is able to be delivered to it’s intended target?

Try to think about this one, since you obviously have yet to in any of your previous postings.

Yep, RetFireman….ship to harbor to boom. Protesting against any boardings and searches all the while enroutee and Obama sitting on his a** waiting for them to magically and suddenly join the fellowship of man….all because of his charm and personality. I would bet on “Boom” happening first. And a whole shipload of his slaves would think nothing at all of sacrificing themselves for their glorious leader.

And just what were all those B-52′s loaded with from 1962 on? ICBM’s?

And just how was WWII and Japanese expansionism and torture and other crimes against humanity stopped in 1945…Atlas rockets?

Just exactly what are we looking for feverishly at all our ports of entry? SCUD missiles tipped with nukes?

My God…what an amazing ignoramus. And he is supposedly an educator. The parents of his students should sue the school.

I know, let’s get a large group of those “activists” from the colleges and ACORN and get in North Korea’s “face!” I’m sure they will be educated and learn the error of their ways.

I think North Korea’s reaction would be the same as what I would do to any activist who comes to my home and tries to get in my face. DOA

I love this quote:

“I don’t think that anybody in the (Obama) administration thinks there is a crisis,” Gates told reporters aboard his military jet early Friday.

except it needs a bit of modifications, to wit:

“I don’t think that anybody in the (Obama) administration thinks ~~there is a crisis,~~” Gates told reporters aboard his military jet early Friday.
Good lord man, what will it take to (a) make them think AT ALL, and (b) do we have to wait for them to roll across (and under) the 38th parallel before they “think” there is a crisis?

As is so often the case in this administration, they are just waiting for their opportunity to make change. Can’t let a crisis go to waste, and by extension, you can’t take pre-emptive action to keep it from erupting.

Is this not the most clueless administration on foreign policy, or is it just the most clueless administration PERIOD???

Mr. Gates needs to listen to his Generals and Admirals, not Rahmbo and Gibbsy. I think even Sasha and Malia, with their wealth of foreign policy background could do better than the clowns in the clown car at the moment.

PS – Paint roof white? So heat is reflected into atmosphere causing additional global warming? Good answer. Another one without a clue.
