North Korea threatens U.S.A. with nuke attack

[HS345]

I realize N.Korea is well known for their rhetoric, and saber rattling, but this seems over the top to me.

What say you?

N.Korea vows nuke attack if provoked by US (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090625/ap_on_re_as/as_koreas_nuclear)

Punching their fists into the air and shouting "Let's crush them!" some 100,000 North Koreans packed Pyongyang's main square Thursday for an anti-U.S. rally as the communist regime promised a "fire shower of nuclear retaliation" for any American-led attack.

North Korean troops will respond to any sanctions or U.S. provocations with "an annihilating blow," one senior official vowed — a pointed threat as an American destroyer shadowed a North Korean freighter sailing off China's coast, possibly with banned goods on board.

they do keep making threats and we keep giving to them.
we need to stop and the world needs to act on them.

[HotinOKC]

They are a bunch of loons. This latest statement is no different from the hundreds before. Do they not know that just ONE of our subs has enough fire power to take them off the face of the planet?

[John R]

Problem is--and I fear--thousands of innocent North Koreans who want nothing to do with their "esteemed leader" will suffer most if we act.

exactly the same as the Iraqi's and the Taliban/Al-Qaeda

[LadyGodiva]

You really think they would go through with it? If we don't attack (as is our way), there should not be a problem.

If this was anything other than rhetoric the US would already be at war with them. Give it another month and see how it plays out.

[ceramictec]

I say cut their asses off.
the thing is we and the UN still need to stop them from being Nuclear.
that's what they are pissed about.

[HS345]

Yes, I think the UN should quit pussyfootin' around, and send NK a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, strongly worded letter. :mad:

You know, show 'em who's boss. :nod:

[Davestone]

This admin will do nothing but apologize as Iran and N korea become nuclear powers that we have to deal with later.I see the newly appointed Commander of Afghanistan operations is going on a listening tour.Let's see how this goes.:dance:

Thing is "attack" has yet to be defined by the North K's..

[sandbagger]

If we don't attack (as is our way), there should not be a problem. <sigh> and if we had just given Hitler the Rhineland. and Poland. and...... ooops. I guess we tried that, didn't we?

[HS345]

US will not use force to inspect NKorean ship (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/06/24/international/i002013D27.DTL)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls.

Lest we get too far ahead of ourselves.

North Korea's Long Schlong missile is an adaptation of the infamous Scud. Remember them? Saddam's guys, who have considerably greater expertise at firing such weapons in anger than anyone on the planet, aimed 3 at Bahrain and missed!

a couple of guys with slingshots on a Japanese beach is realistically all you need for missile defence against the peons from Pyong Yang.

[Crestone Tile]

Let Japan and China worry about N. Korea.

Japan could go nuclear overnight if they want to.

[sandbagger]

uh, Jeremy, that was before Clinton handed the ChiComms the Hughes/Loral guidance technology back in 1996. Remember, the ChiComms had been blowing up satellite launchers until we fixed their problem.

[jjwq8]

OK scratch 2 guys and a sling and make it a patriot battery and do you believe that Pyong Yang has the wherewithal to make good on its threat? OR that China or Russia would allow them to do so? China now plays with the big boys. Pyong Yang is still just an insignificant bully in the kindergarten sand box.

[sandbagger]

simple question, Jeremy - are you willing to bet Hawaii on your theory? We've been down that road once before, you know. :shrug:

In the meantime, Obama has moved $1 Billion from missile defense to "cash for clunkers." :nod:
