Korea

We are placing Patriot Systems on Okinawa to help deal with this situation. The military has been moving these Air Defense systems out of Germany for the last two years - presumably getting prepared for an Iranian incursion. We have infrastructure in place, support services, satellites, AWACs and mucho hardware in Kuwait. The Air Force and Navy are ready to defend and the Mullahs will be toast in three weeks time. Shock and Awe like you've never seen. Do it now for a more secure future and world peace. Allah is waiting for his Jihads.

You got that right Birchtree. Boom!

The Patriot anti-missile system has not be proven, i.e. it is not reliable.

Its redeployment is little more than a sop given to soothe Japanese nerves and as a sign to them that it is a good thing for the US military to have a presence on Okinawa.

There has been some changes and upgrades in the Patriot system. It may have well had some bugs in it when it 1st came out! Maybe it was put in the field too soon? But then again it's kind of like Window XP; always in upgrades.

While some specs are listed. I would bet (whomever) doesn't have a need to know what the full capability of US systems actually are. And, Duke ain't spilling the beans.

There is some news about Patriot Missiles being deployed in Japan. Some of the information? Well you judge for yourself.

The problem is that with increasing technology upgrades the bad guys become even more dangerous over time. That is now visible with the increased rockets ranges that are hitting Haifa and beyond. All this hardware comes from Iran. We need to stop them now before they become a North Korea and start testing nuclear arms. The only way we will have peace is to toast them while the opportunity is available. Carpet bomb the Iranian coast and take out their systems - we have their addresses.

A strong earthquake shook northern Japan on Wednesday and the Japanese government said it had detected tremors, leading it to suspect North Korea had conducted a second nuclear test.

However, Kyodo News quoted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as saying he had no information to confirm a second North Korea test had taken place.

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea on Tuesday blasted U.N. sanctions aimed at punishing the country for its nuclear test, saying the measures amount to a declaration of war and that the nation wouldn't cave in to such pressure now that it's a nuclear weapons power.

For those that are taking North Korea lightly, DON'T. They see how divided we are over Iraq and the dirty politics in our country and they see a weak USA. They have had many years to build tunnels thru the mountains and bunkers. They have been preparing for war since 1954.The people of N. Korea have been isolated from the rest of the world and only know what is being fed to them by their gov"t and believe that we want to attck them.Do not mistake the fact they are looking for a war. They have nothing to loose,they are dying of hunger. I agree that the South Koreans were some of the best fighter I ever saw 40 years ago. They too have grown "soft" with prosperity. Iran is having some problems with their younger folk rebelling and are looking for a fight. They do not want another Saddam in Iraq or the USA. They want to controll that part of the world. These are not easy time we live in.Most countries are doing well and do not have the stomach for war, they would rather look the other way and hope it goes away. Her in this country we point fingers at each other and put the blame on one political party or the other. We need to get our act right and concern ourself with what is right for the country and not which party you happen to belong. I am really sick of both parties and the fact that everyone in government appears to be corrupt and thiefs.What the hell happened to this country? I am not a liberal or a conservitive, I"M a damn American and proud.of it. These damn people are insulting my intellegence with their actions. We as a country need to be aware of all our options. Do we have the will to do what is really needed if we go to war? WE WILL HAVE TO BLOW NORTH KOREA FROM THE MAP.Are we ready to do that as a country? Think about it.

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korean leader Kim Jong Il expressed regret about his country's nuclear test to a Chinese delegation and said Pyongyang would return to international nuclear talks if Washington backs off a campaign to financially isolate the country, a South Korean newspaper reported Friday.

"If the U.S. makes a concession to some degree, we will also make a concession to some degree, whether it be bilateral talks or six-party talks," Kim was quoted as telling a Chinese envoy, the mass-circulation Chosun Ilbo reported, citing a diplomatic source in China.

The key here is how much are we going to give them. Do we give them aid or do we blow them up. We have been giving them aid and they continues with thier program. Now we are pointinmg the finger at Clinton and Bush. Actually it was Kim Jong who violated the agreements, not Clinton or Bush. We just do not see the big picture because we are too busy defending one politicle party or the other. The truth is, the other guy we do not want to deal with. Nor should we, because he is not a person of his word. We can not continue to draw a line in the sand, it is not scaring any one. We need to follow up with sanctions and what ever else we have to insure peace. Sometimes you have to fight tio ensure our safty. Unlike Iraq, where every one hates each other because they happen to be from differrent villages, in Korea we know where the enemy is. Let"s "GIT ER DONE"
