MacArthur said something similar to this. I mean the 30 to 60 day thing. He never did get regime change on Kim Il Sung. Last time they crossed the line, China moved 300,000 troops into N.Korea. I guess they expect China to stand by and do nothing while the American neocon regime violates the Armistice it signed with China. Bad move. This will help the Japanese economy though, it did last time. If it doesn't go nuclear. I don't think S.Korea will help. Danger of a new military dictatorship in the South to accomodate the insane neocon strategy.
