The time for O’s mettle test is here: North Korea prepares for war
Please pick up the red courtesy phone (Photoshop credit: Redhotphones.com)
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.”

And watch how fast KJI uses one of his bombs on the South. Is there anyone foolish enough to think that it is mere coincidence the testing happened at the same time the rest of this has?
Looking more and more like an early Thanksgiving in Korea.
Just how will Obama deal? How will the Dems deal? After 8 years of telling everyone that they alone know how to deal with such things, now the mess with Korea that began with Albright schmoozing with the little despot and the Clinton’s selling certain Top Secret materials to what was considered a very dangerous enemy…until they said they weren’t…is coming to a head.
God help our men and women sitting over there on the border, and God help the cities in South Korea’s populations that are about to see the results of what “Failed Diplomacy” means.
Anyone even know exactly where Hill-Dawg is right now?
Yes…in a rational world and with a rational leader. However, KJI is anything but. This is a man who has been starving his own people for a very long time, and who…essentially…has nothing left to lose. This is why he is incredibly dangerous, and this is why he can and most likely will use his new toys.
2003 was the last time N.K. threatened to abandon the armistice, saying that the US had provoked them.
This is qualitatively different, I think. We now have a working nuke…probably not a warhead, but still something you could put in a shipping container. We have a working ICBM, and with a nuke, you can miss by a mile and still score.
An American carrier battle-group is a big target.
Head firmly in the sand I see.
They have actualy said it is off this time so we are right now at active war with North Korea. obamas responce so far? really harsh words.
Israel is watching ever so closely as to how this administration moves (or doesn’t) to guard an ally who is in need.
As is EVERY capital of every nation on Earth, friend and foe alike.
I tend to take madmen at their word when they threaten or bully, and that is what this is. This is quite dangerous. The DMZ is a very small thing; North Korean aircraft can fire on our air defenses and never leave their own territory. They can be flying a second strike before we know what’s happened.
And our Dear leader will show his spine of Steel — LMFAO
This is really the darkest of comedies being played out for all of us to watch and are virtually helpless to do anything about.
Obama knows its OUR FAULT!!
NK is a peaceful agrarian community, at one with nature and each other…only to be THREATENED by the captalist imperialist racist policies of the US!
we should withdraw so Kim can extend his beneficient rule to the capitalist running dogs of south korea…
to do anything else would be racist.
As I said in another post, KJI has some very strong environmental factors on his side.
His country borders China and South Korea, and is up-wind from Japan (just across the Sea of Japan).
IF KJI were to release a nuclear device, then the USA would likely have grounds to retaliate with one. I cannot imagine a situation where China, S. Korea or Japan (or any combination thereof) would tolerate more than one or two US strikes on NK.
KJI knows this.
There is also the fact that China won’t want US troops along the Yalu any more than we’d want Chinese troops on the Rio Grande. If conventional war comes, China will want all parties to return to the 38th. Perhaps – perhaps – they would tolerate an offensive that unseats KJI’s regime and gets rid of the nuclear program, but even that is iffy.
The fact is, China benefits by having this loose cannon under their control, and we all know that KJI exists at the pleasure of China.
Most disconcerting: once N. Korea has a nuclear ICBM that can reliably reach the US Northwest, China has the ability to basically gut the US economy if/when it chooses with no traceable link back to them and no fear of retribution.
As I said before, this is a classic assymetry, and it makes for a very difficult strategic situation.
Little too late when the mushroom cloud starts to form, wouldn’t you say?
Sonofdy, you and I are of like mind, I see. I pulled me gear out of the attic last night. Seriously. I hope I don’t need it.
me gear = my gear… Apologies, can’t preview on the BlackBerry. DOH!!!
We have 50,000 troops on the Korean border. They are sitting ducks. As a veteran, I am not happy about it at all.
Ever notice that the head-in-the-sand position is strikingly similar to the ankle-grabbing position referenced in “BOHICA”?
Given Kim’s visible poor health and demonstrated lack of concern for the plight of his people, this may well be the one time he is not bluffing.
They “posture” and we cave. So we will cave to the pressure and not search the ships. They will then transport all the nuclear stuff they please to where ever. They know they just need to threaten and the rest of the world will go away. Can’t we just, for once, call their bluff?
“Uptown
It’s murder out in the street
Uptown
It’s murder out in the street
That’s where I found my mandarin plum
That’s where you’d be if you found one
Where the nights are bright
And joy is complete
Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street
Since May
There’s trouble most every night
Where once we danced our sweet routine
It reeks of wine and kerosene
Where the nights are bright
And joy is complete
Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street
There’s a special place for lovers
One we understand
There where neon bends in daylight sky
In that sunny room she soothes me
Cools me with her fan
We’re drifting
A thousand years roll by
Lou Chang
Her brother he’s burning with rage
Lou Chang
Her brother he’s burning with rage
I’d like to know what’s on his mind
He says hey buddy you’re not my kind
Where the nights are bright
And joy is complete
Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street”
A brief musical interlude — a classic album by the way.
Obama is channeling Jimmy Carter, & the guy isn’t even dead yet.. *sigh* >:{
I wish it was “just” Jimmy Carter. I fear, however, he is channeling Karl Marx.
There is no one who displikes Obama more than me.
However, if this is the great crisis most of the posters appear to think it is then it’s time to be Americans. We have one Commander in Chief and it’s his call. If you all want to avoid a war then the best thing you/we can do is simply say, “As Americans we are united behind our President.”
The North Koreans will take note of a united America. You all share a common concern that we appear weak. Well, I suggest we not add to that impression.
I think his policies suck, but President Obama has my unconditional support in facing down North Korea. I may disagree with what he does today, tomorrow or the next day, but I sure won’t let the North Koreans know it.
We can criticize after this is over with. But for now if you want peace, then prepare for war……… as one nation.
DBN,
Good point. Talk about having nothing to lose…
I hear he’s not overly close to his son, and hasn’t really prepared him to be the next “________ Leader.” Thus KJI is probably viewing himself as the last of his family to run the joint.
Not good…
You make a very frightening point. If he is as ill as reported, he may be planning to take his whole country with him, and a few enemies as well. Chilling…and he is a madman.
Flyoverman,
I don’t think the dissent will come from the right. I think Obama’s biggest problems are:
a. his own ideology, and
b. the ideology of his base.
They don’t view this like you do. They don’t view NK as an imminent threat, either nuclear or conventional. Moreover, I don’t believe they would support US intervention even if Seoul or Tokyo were to go up in a flash. And certainly not if N. Korea merely crossed the border or sank some ships or shot down planes.
it’s not that liberals are isolationists… more like “deniers.”
But, again, I can’t imagine conservatives not getting behind even Chauncey if this came to a hot situation.
Only conservatives realize just how significant S. Korea is to the world economy, and the effect that it would have on it.
FOM – that’s why we volunteered to go in harm’s way. I suffered under some of the worst presidents in living memory, but I was always there. It’s time to answer the bell once again.
I’m pretty sure we all know what “The One” is made of. The same seven layers of crap he’s been force feeding the american people since the elections.
Scrapper,
Ever notice how really old people will start to prophesize the end of the world? Of course what they are prophesizing is the end of *their own* time here, but the point is still valid.
If you really believe that the place has gone to hell in a handbasket, that the end is upon you, and you happen to be sitting on a nuclear arsenal, and the means to deliver it to two of your most hated neighbors (S. Korea and Japan)
VERY not good, indeed.
There are some rays of hope however…
Just because he’s crazy doesn’t mean that everyone around him is. It’s possible that they will talk him out of anything stupid, or ignore him. Coups happen, even in bad places.
His only effective delivery system beyond the DMZ is an IRBM – precisely the kind of thing that Japan’s navy is equipped to down (courtesy of the USN’s missile defense). Nobody wants to bet the farm on missile defense working, but we wouldn’t have built it if we didn’t think it would work.
Let’s hope we don’t find out. Plus, soes Seoul have Patriots (or similar) capable of intercepting an IRBM?
But the question here is, “Will he?”.
Sorry, but I am not.
He would have mine as well IF he has the cojones for a facedown, but I ain’t holding my breath. So far he has shown he’s every bit the wuss that Carter was.
Well, Rob, I do confess that those are potential problems, because it is extremely difficult to cure stupid.
Well, then don’t complain the next time the Kos Kids won’t support a Republican in the midst of a crisis.
Michelle,
If the North has truly revoked the armistice, we are not “preparing for war”, we are at war.
The Korean War never ended. An armistice was agreed upon putting the war on pause. It provided a cease fire and a halt to hostilities, but not an end to war.
If one side withdraws from the arimistice, the war is on again, just as before. When I saw this news it was pretty shocking. It is one thing to test nukes and missiles, but quite another to resume a war that has been on pause since 1953.
Having been to the lovely DMZ in a past life, I can tell you that if the North decided to resume the fight, most of our troops at the DMZ would be anihilated. And given the proximity of the DMZ to the City of Seoul – about 30 miles- it would not take them long to reach South Korea’s largest city.
This is about the worst news I have seen in a very long time, if it is true.
Flyoverman:
To me, the question isn’t “Will conservatives rally behind the president?”
To me, the question is, “Will the president give us anything to rally behind?”
And given li’l bHo’s performance to date, the answer to the question is “highly doubtful”.
So I should support Obama no matter what so I can complain. That is illogical.
Flyoverman said:
While I understand completely with what you are saying, I have to respectfully disagree. Our one nation of old no longer exists or if it does, it is asleep. The despots of the world, especially now, see us for what we have become. This government does not support its friends, this government apologizes for our country on foreign soil, this government is headed by an individual that hates our way of life and the country he is President of, this government is dismantling the very core of what made this country great and the envy of the world and most of all this government would rather look the other way while holding a hand out for more debt relief. I fully expect nothing from this government except another excerpt of Teleprompter rage.
I know. They are sitting ducks forming a buffer to Seoul. This in not good. Doing as some on this board suggest is signing their death warrent.
Indeed.
The strategic purpose of the US troops has for decades been to serve as a “trip-wire”.
I think that, given our revolution in war-fighting doctrine, we have to think about letting our forces do what they do best; hit, hit the head and heart, and cut them off. That might entail a calculation that I think THE ONE is supremely ill-equipped to make; a preemptive strike at their command and control, and/or a strategic withdrawal from the DMZ to provide for maneuver. These would be excruciatingly hard choices to have to make, and I just don’t see THE ONE having anything like what it would take.
I think it is reasonable to assume that, if the N.K. actually start a shooting war, they are doing it with Chinese acquiescence. The Chinese, if they do not assent, would have to join us, or at very least forebear.
Given the current occupant of the White House and the useless U.N., its also possible that the Chinese could use such an action by NK to launch an invasion of Taiwan. We’d be hard pressed to react to both situations at the same time.
hawkeye:
True. We are in a very unstable situation.
I have some hope that China would take the part of a sane, civilized nation.
But I am an optimist.
Very rosy on your part. China has always resented European and US influence in what it considers its sphere in Asia and the Pacific. THE PRC will smile at you, work with you, and then stab you if it fulfills its ultimate agenda.
Yep. BUT…
Mao isn’t there any more, even in spirit…AND
they have a lot more to loose than they used to have.
Still, your point is well-founded.
Rags: Scary thought — does botox protect against radiation?
My only hope is she gets vaporized by the first blast as do all the others who got us into this mess.
Maybe Sherrif Joe Arpaio will be the senior ranking guy left in the government and then Kim Jong Il will get what is coming to him!
That’s not a photoshop photo – the company actually sells that phone.
Rags: True, but standing shoulder to shoulder with our troops are the South Koreans — and they will be fighting for their homeland. I’m sure you are concious of just how tough and skilled the South Korean soldiers are. They fought alongside us in Vietnam and they are very tough.
However, as Stalin said, “Quantity has a quality of its own.” and the North Korean have lots of people under arms.
No matter how it is sliced or diced, it will be like Helen Thomas when she wakes up (or when she goes to bed, leaves for work, arrives at work, goes to lunch…) — UGLY!
True, they’d have a lot to lose, but what they believe they’d lose would be worth it to them in the long run. They view things in the long term. Chinese cultural pride and history exists before and after Mao and are very strong influences on what they will do. Taiwan belongs to them, in their view, and they will get it and the PRC also believe we have no business interfering with its goals or its means to acheive them. Why else heavily invest in a deep water navy but to take us on?
Acknowledged. But SOME of the NK troops are literally the comic-book of Commie cadres…super trained, bulked up, and indoctrinated. I don’t know how deep in their force structure that goes, but I do know that, if anybody ate, the military ate during the famines.
I understand…tho I have no claims to real understanding here…that the NK capacity for a protracted fight is very low.
Massed troops were what Saddam had, and we moved through them like warm butter. This might be a different situation, however. No assumptions.
I can’t argue with anything Hawkeye said.
I could add that a blue-water navy is necessary for any modern trans-ocean power. How else do you project force?
DBNinKY said (#98):
The last time conservatives said that — Condi Rice in that case — they were wrong. 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.
… and Ahmanutjob would take the opportunity to take out Tel Aviv. This is getting worrisome. Coordinated attacks on several fronts would be difficult to deal with for a real leader, much less Obambi.
Lately I’ve been reading that the NK Army is underfed and demoralized.
I wonder if Lil Kim rattles his saber just to raise morale.
Or anything they can drive a truck to.
Like Seoul.
Or ship a container to.
Like San Francisco, LA, Houston, Boston, New York, etc.
Or anything they could put aboard a sub.
And put in the proximity of one of our carrier battle-groups.
A disturbing parallel is to compare the North Koreans today to al Qaeda during the Clinton years.
Back then, we saw a steady ramp-up of terrorist acts without any corresponding sense of urgency in the White House. The terrorists must’ve been thinking something like,
“We declare war on them; we blow up their barracks; we blow up their embassies; we blow up their warship; and still they ignore us. What shall we do to get the Americans’ attention?”
The answer, of course, was 9/11.
Today, you can see the North Koreans thinking,
“We threaten them with nuclear weapons; we threaten them with missiles; we threaten them with war. And yet there goes the American president, polishing his golf game…
What will shall we do to get the Americans’ attention?”
The mind shudders to think about what the NoKos’ answer to that question will be.
On the bright side, I don’t believe that any of our troops still in South Korea are on the DMZ anymore. We’ve transitioned that responsibility entirely to the ROK army, and moved our forces back from the front line. So at least our guys won’t get vaporized at the outset if war comes…
True that. A modern trans-ocean nation needs a blue water navy to defend its overseas interests and allies, or to challenge and conquer its presumtive overseas opponents.
Or the PRC is just interested in interdicting and preventing the growing piracy problem in its neighborhood: )
Or anything they can drive a truck to. Like Seoul.
You mean on I-10 the unsecured, unguarded interstate between Pyonyang and Seoul?
Or ship a container to like San Francisco, LA, Houston, Boston, New York
I am SURE any ship from North Korea can just sail in to any of these places without notice and just tie up to the dock.
Or anything they could put aboard a sub. And put in the proximity of one of our carrier battle-groups.
You mean the 12-15 knot conventional sub that can leave a North Korean port unnoticed and catch up to a 25 knot carrier battle group usually accompanied by 2 Los Angeles Class attack subs?
And then there is that small matter of the US Ohio Class Posiedon-equipped “Boomer” in the Pacific with 240 nuclear warheads on board that could take out North Korea with about 1 /4 of their basic load of missles…….
The Obama foreign policy test is here!
Speaking of that, I noted with no small amount of discouragement that my Air Command and Staff College coursework has “doctrine” culled from the writings of one Samantha Power. (Sorry to divert from the thread but I had to vent)
Sigh.
Yeah, I was thinking that too….add to that demented El Presidente Hugo of Venuzuela who might also seize such an opportunity to do something as well.
Things worldwide could go very badly in a very short period of time.
Sort of like they said they couldn’t build another device??
Flyover:
Have the NK kidnapped Japanese…in Japan?
Have NK infiltrators NEVER crossed into SK to do mischief?
If YOU wanted to put a container in an American port, can you imagine a feasible means to so do?
A bottomed sub…no matter how archaic…is very hard to detect, and would nicely simulate one of our own anti-ship mines. All it has to do is be there.
Many of our ships and planes have the capacity to turn all NK cities to glass. Who will use them, and what difference would it make if we lose a city…including Seoul…first?
do ya think they have a plane or two they could put it on???
Even that was a lie.

Thanks, Rogue, for some humor while we discuss a really dismal situation in NoKorea.
I don’t support Obama one bit in anything. I pledged allegiance to the flag and the Republic, which is based on the U.S. Constitution. If Obama’s actions happen to coincide with that, fine, but he is irrelevant to me. If his actions are in contradiction to my interpretation of the Constitution, then he is the enemy.
Not the ship, the container. They could easily truck it to any of the ports in China and throw it on a container ship. It would most likely end up in a West Coast port. LA, Oakland, Seattle, Tacoma…
When the missiles start flying, watch for the protective anti-matter shield to pop up over all of the 2008 blue states.
Call it the “Chrysler Dealership Method” of missile defense.
FOM, this sounds like another excuse for failure by the Obama administration. If they adopt it, you should get royalties, but I wouldn’t hold my breath, if I were you.
Just like the economy and the Gitmo situation, I’m sure Obama staffers are writing powerful, hard-hitting speeches blaming the Bush administration for causing this crisis that BO was unlucky enough to inherit. (The fact they can never seem to resolve anything is irrelevant, it seems.)
My prediction: another Pueblo incident. Then another. And another. The NKs will become pirates with nukes. (How do you think BO will deal with this?)

And he has that quote from Condi Rice right in his back pocket.
“We must close the truck transported container gap.”
General “Buck” Turgidson
Does that intel come from the same CIA that you gleefully assert was WRONG about Iraq’s WMDs, etc?
Isn’t it fun to pick and choose which “intel” you want to believe based on what fits your political ideology at that particular time?
lgm: Your facts must come from the same intelligence source SanFranNan uses since she can’t rely on the CIA any more.
Please share with us YOUR sources.
Also, you might want to send your apologies to your fellow libs BEFORE they get incinerated by a NUDET in SanFranLand.

Dex: Now I KNOW it is indeed the end-times!
Assuming your sources are correct, are we to then just wait until they have a deliverable weapon before taking action?
when i was in s korea, my impression was that the s korean military was well up to the task of defending it’s country. maybe we need to “loan” them a few stealth bombers to project decimation inside n. korea should they actually be stupid enough to cross the dmz. i was with the 2nd inf out of camp casey, so i saw lots of fence time. to think that the north could march those thiry miles from the dmz to seoul without losing the majority of the army is ludicrous. tanks make really good targets for blackhawks and tows, as we saw in iraq 1 and 2. large surging armies can be decimated from above with minimal effort. yes, missiles will fall in the south, and it will be a war for maybe a week. but just as in 1951, the war with n. korea lasted a few months because we weren’t ready for the attack, but the majority of the war was with china, not n. korea.
That begs the question of whether we’ll honor our treaty commitments or not. We bailed out on South Vietnam. How many of our “allies” are starting to quake in tier boots about now?
Each with eyes, ears, and brains…
On-my-soap-box said (#155):
Are you sure about that? Reading MM, I thought all bad guys are either Islamofascists or Democrats, and I don’t think NoKo is run by Democrats.
cpo, rags, of course you are right. as a vet of the vietnam police action, i know full well our troops won every battle, every skirmish, and every firefight. the media lost that war with the likes of john kerry and other legendary dem icons. anyone who believes america under dem rule will stand up and fight needs to look at a history book. clinton, passed on osama and terrorists, carter, passed on iran, kennedy/johnson went halfway to war, but only halfway. the old bill cosby routine about the revolutionary war comes to mind: you colonists, you get to hide behind trees, dress in normal clothes, and kill the enemy any way you can. you british must dress in bright red coats, walk down the middle of the streets, and not attack anyone other than the people attacking you.
lgm, north korea thinks it is domocratic, look at it’s name.
Marxists/Democrats… what’s the diff?
You walked into that one.
North Korea is an example of the logical result of ObamaReidPelosi’s policies taken to the extreme.
Government control of everything leads to universal misery.
Given a choice between a North Korean and a Democrat, I would take my chances on the North Korean.
You beat me to it!
There is no such thing as a Democrat party.
Regardless of what they call themselves, they are socialists/statists/collectivists…pure and simple.
The difference between the North Koreans and other communists, and our domestic socialists/statists/etc., is one of degree only – they are of the same kind.
Not to worry my friends (hate it when McCain says that) Miss Hillary is Gravely Concerned. Nothing forces a nutjob wacko to back off faster than a Gravely Concerned twit.
And if Little Kim does attack Miss Hillary we be Seriously Gravely Concerned: Take that Kim!
I am sure that Russia and China will jump right in to assist us any minute now-the UN and all that-think France and Belgium have mobilized? I understand Belgium’s army has some of the best hairdressers in Europe on board as their troops sing “I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright!”
Allies? If I were going into harm’s way I think I would want Americans covering my flanks.

It’s time for Obummer to issue tasking orders to…
Team America! F@*%, Yeah!
The Korean War almost reignited in Aug 1976 over the “Tree Trimming Incident” Ax Attack at Panmunjom where 2 US Officers were killed by an NK attack to prevent the tree from being cut.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_Murder_Incident
A full squadron of F-111Fs was deployed from Mtn Home AFB, ID as part of the US response force, and current NK Leader Kim’s daddy backed down in a very conciliatory manner! What will our dear leader do in response to Kim’s hostile acts?
Drudge is reporting that the Russians are worried that a Korean conflict could go nuclear! No kidding! Maybe these idiots should have thought of that BEFORE their “Dear Leader” lit off a couple of nukes! Do you think they will suddenly develop this fear when Iran lights off a couple of nukes? Do you think the stupid Russian government has realized they are already within the range of Iranian current missiles?
I wonder if the idiot Chinese are worried now that their lunatic neighbors have nukes?
It is a bit late to worry about that crazy uncle experimenting in the basement now.
