They've no intention of doing a damn thing about Korea!

[norml]

Except to say it shows the need to "deal with" Iran, and how important it was that we removed Saddam.

In fact, you can make a drinking (or toking) game of it.

Every time in the same sentence they say how important it is to go after Iran, while excusing inaction on Korea, take a drink or a toke.

Every time they say Iran, right after they say Korea, take a drink or a toke.

You should soon be very intoxicated.

Why no interest in going after Korea?

Because they've got no oil, fool!

1. Typical bully behavior*. And the fact that there's no oil in North

Korea that needs liberating.

This gets posted here everday. Their behavior is just sooooooooo predictable.

*edit: by that I mean they won't start shit with someone who can hit back.

[pooja]

2. exactly, n. korea has nothing we want or need... so if they get

too trigger happy, we'll just bomb the crap out of them. Iran on the other hand has oil.

3. Can you imagine them sending out the Undersecretary to talk about Iran?

Or talking up star wars or a boycott as a response to Iran or Venezuela?

It's all about telling their sheep to go to sleep as far as N.Korea is concerned.

Not that I'm all that concerned about N.Korea.

It's just that I see, and am appalled by their single minded push for war with Iran, and Venezuela, and any other on the top ten list of world oil reserves, the better to game the market, the better to drive the price high, thus insuring "price stability" forevermore.

4. Show ONE

press release from the whitehouse or pentagon that suggests war with Venezuela.

That is the biggest madison ave sales job in a long time.

I have not read one thing from the government suggesting open military action there.


BTW we do not sell weapons to many nations. We would refuse to sell to Congo that does not mean invasion.

Ready for some real tinfoil...The Venezuela crap is engineered to jack up the price of crude. The crazier, louder chavez acts the more oil goes up. IMHO.

There is not one sane person who writes for Jane's or the other defense mags who thinks anything is going on in Venezuela.

6. "the Cuba-Venezuela axis"

US Launches $80 Million Pro-Democracy Effort for Cuba
By David Gollust
Washington
10 July 2006


Fidel Castro speaks to thousands of people on International Workers Day, May 1, 2006 in Havana

President Bush Monday approved an $80 million program, aimed at fostering democratic change in Cuba. The U.S. administration is also pledging extensive support for any Cuban government succeeding Fidel Castro's communist regime that promises free elections and an end to repression.

It said the Castro regime is actively seeking to control the policy environment on transition, in concert with foreign opponents of peaceful democratic change - led, it said, by the Hugo Chavez government in Venezuela.

The report said Cuba's deepening relationship with Venezuela parallels its earlier partnership with the former Soviet Union.

It said the Cuba-Venezuela axis is advancing a retrograde, anti-American agenda for the hemisphere, but that there are signs that the Havana-Caracas relationship is, in its words, beginning to grate on Cuban nationalist sensibilities.

I think I'll keep this thread kicked by posting LBN concerning their push for war with Venezuela.

Thanks for the suggestion! :toast:

5. I suspect a deal is in the back of all this hoopla

Bush and gang will do anything to keep the illusion that the "enemy" is at the gate and ready to lob missiles our way.
The Koreans toss a few around and Bush gets his minions in a fit and congress grants the IMC more dough for their star wars fantasy.
Someday we may find out what the Koreans got in return.
