North Korea is pretty much telling the Obama Administration how things are going to work now. Do you think that this president will ever grow a backbone?

Nope. Plain and straight I think he is a coward, he would have probably joined the League of nations back in 1919. If there was another Pealr Harbour, he would cave in to the aggressor and not fight. hey, are you yanks going to get your act together and get rid of the arsehole (No stars there peeps)? In fact, why dont you Obama supporters get your bloody act together and realise what you have done! Obama. As they say in Liverpool, he is a fucking basterd mate erright? . payton, you deserve a knighthood for your question.

If he follows the Democratic Presidential model, he will ignore things far too long, then do something that his successor will have to try to remedy.

No..he will not to answer your question. Because of this our reaction time to any strike by any country will be delayed and the situation made much worse. Watch us back off the maritime searches also because that PUSSY...I said PUSSY.. will not call NK's bluff. If we begin searching NK shipping I will apologize for my description...but not until.

When it comes to nuclear war and other people's lives, which is more important to you, oh armchair warrior? Taking the course that allows everyone to win, or salvaging your pride?

I think it is possible that North Korea is doing what they are because they are afraid....So showing them a "backbone" might be the worst thing to do....In fact that might be what caused the problem.

No have you not seen the man walk he looks like a damn walking bowl of jello!

Last I checked, we've been telling them how to run their country for the last 50 years.

I always feel bad for our diplomats when this kind of thing happens. They communicate in measured tones and carefully crafted messages, and some folks back here at home think they're wimps for doing it. What people miss is the fact that they would love nothing more than to go into a conference room with Kim Jong Il and tell the bouffant-haired nut case that he can stick his missiles where the sun doesn't shine. But they know that, if they do that, there is a price to be paid. And that they won't be the ones to pay it -- that price would be paid by our kids. I mean we give them machine guns and training, but the bottom line is that the diplomats know that insults to the other side are a self-indulgence that someone else ends up paying for. So, they do the right thing, keep the conversation going in an attempt to avoid armed conflict, if they can, and some people back home call them wimps because of it. The really heroic thing about them is that they know this, and they don't care.

I shouldent say this but he is basically a coward. N. Korea cant tell the US/Obama Admin. how anything is going to work because their not part of the US.
