The question is, what will BHO do about it if it turns out North Korea was responsible for the attack?

A terse warning at the U.N.

But will we stop giving them oil??????
 
After seeing the White Horse Brigade in action in Vietnam the South Koreans can handle anything the North has got. They are trying to prevent the proliferation of arms going to the Iranians and other Arab countries. This action is small potatoes and if the North Koreans are responsible they should have intense fear of retribution.
 
Some news reports are saying another South Korean ship fired earlier in the evening at North Korean targets.

I wonder how that will play out.
 
It means the NEWS will be all over this and not the Healthcare issue for a change..:rolleyes:

South Korea is an ally. We should at least send a couple of navy battlegroups to the area.

Unless, of course, you're saying we should dismantle the United Nations and NATO and tell the our allies that we will no longer defend them should they be attacked by hostile forces. I didn't realize you were an isolationist, FWM.
 
Here are our legal obligations under the 1953 Mutual Defense Treaty with South Korea:


1953 Mutual Defense Treaty

Mutual Defense Treaty between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America
Signed at Washington: October 1, 1953
Entered into Force: November 17, 1954
The Parties to this Treaty,
Reaffirming their desire to live in peace with all governments, and desiring to strengthen the fabric of peace in the Pacific area,
Desiring to declare publicly and formally their common determination to defend themselves against external armed attack so that no potential aggressor could be under the illusion that either of them stands alone in the Pacific area,
Desiring further to strengthen their efforts for collective defense for the preservation of peace and security pending the development of a more comprehensive and effective system of regional security in the Pacific area,
Have agreed as follows:
Article 1
The Parties undertake to settle any international disputes in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations, or obligations assumed by any Party towards the United Nations.
Article 2
The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of either of them, the political independence or security of either of the Parties is threatened by external armed attack. Separately and jointly, by self-help and mutual aid, the Parties will maintain and develop appropriate means to deter armed attack and will take suitable measures in consultation and agreement to implement this Treat and to further its purposes.
Article 3
Each Party recognizes that an armed attack in the Pacific area on either of the Parties in territories now under their respective administrative control, or hereafter recognized by one of the Parties as lawfully brought under the administrative control of the other, would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional processes.
Article 4
The Republic of Korea grants, and the United States of America accepts, the right to dispose United States land, air and sea forces in and about the territory of the Republic of Korea as determined by mutual agreement.
Article 5
This Treaty shall be ratified by the United States of America and the Republic of Korea in accordance with their respective constitutional processes and will come into force when instruments of ratification thereof have been exchanged by them at Washington.
Article 6
This Treaty shall remain in force indefinitely. Either party may terminate it one year after notice has been given to the other Party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned plenipotentiaries have signed this Treaty.
Done in duplicate at Washington, in the Korean and English languages, this first day of October, 1953.
For the Republic of Korea:
(signed) Y.T. Pyun
For the United States of America:
(signed) John Foster Dulles
Understanding of the United States of America
It is the understanding of the United States that neither party is obligated, under Article 3 of the above Treaty, to come to the aid of the other except in case of an external armed attack against such party; nor shall anything in the present Treaty be construed as requiring the United States to give assistance to Korea except in the event of an armed attack against territory which has been recognized by the United States or lawfully brought under the administrative control of the Republic of Korea.
 
Hey folks if North Korea touches South Korea we will be there in a skinny minute, a Military Dictatorship (one step above communism and socialism) that has taken many of our boys in the past, but they will NOT attack our friends again without our intervention. We are like that, we take care of our friends like everyone should. Kim Jong II is a nnuut and is abusing his people, he needs to be taken down. If it wasn't for China we would have taken them out years ago. He really needs nuclear weapons!!:cool:
 
OK Nnnuut- here is the question then-

Exactly who are you planning to send, when you say "We will be there in a skinny minute..."


What units would you send?

Since most of our forces are a little busy, at the moment...
 
Navy, for now! Do you think we will just stand by and watch? What are you afraid of, getting beat again?
 
Just a minute I forgot just who is the President now, there is no telling what will happen come to think about it? I hope we keep our word to help and protect South Korea but there is no guarantee now!:sick:
 
better be a skinny minute, or else my bowl-o-noodles hunger may have to go unslaked, can't be letting some crazy dick tater interrupt the whole global free trade thing now.
