Obama pledges US to defend its ally South Korea

[miles]

Does anyone believe he'll do much more than ask for restraint while the commies invade the South?

No rushes over the DMZ happened yet.

Based on his action in Afghanistan, and sucessfully getting the combat troops out of Iraq so he actually has some peices to play with fuck yeah he'll send in the Marines. The question is if he'll be like Bush 1 and let the tin horn go home with his country in tact or like Bush 2 and end up committed to another long term occupation.

What makes you think any Marines need to be sent in? We already have troops in SK, and the NKs do not appear to be gearing up for an invasion.

30k or so troops may not be enough to stem a million man army, but then again, troops march on their stomachs...

Miles set the rules and in his rules the North are constantly at the ready and will invade and take over. I don't know what NK military capability is but I'm assuming they've got more people in country than we do.

Obama?

Eh?

A fresh righteous war is just the thing a president needs to get elected to a second term, no matter how bad things are going.

It worked before.

I'm hoping we learned from our mistake.

 

[Ham Murabi]

I've only read a little about the situation, but my take is that South Korea won't need any help defending itself in a conventional war.
Too bad for the South if it's left counting on Obama and the North drops a nuke or two.

So suddenly your limp dick asshole self is sitting up on Freedon Bridge assising troop movements?

Bush Sr. learned that you don't want to pick a fight that's over too quickly.

Hey I got a reply. I thought I was finally put on ignore.

The ROK army would kick the shit out of the KPA army.

I just wanted to use the abbreviations, I never get to use them.

I used to be one of those US troops in Korea -- everyone stationed there knows that the US presence is just a tripwire to ensure that an attack from the North kills American Troops and provides a 'bloody shirt' for the President to wave while sending in the main force.

It's just another rat-fuck ploy for pick one (or any combination):

Maybe we should forgo a ground war and just make a few bombing runs.

It wasn't a flub... she honestly thought that the north koreans were our allies.

She's an idiot, but she mentioned that the North Koreans were our enemies ten seconds before that flub.

This goes in the the same file with Obama's "57 states" and "my Muslim heritage" flubs.

So which of her two comments was the flub?

More to the point, what did she have written on her hand?

What? is this 1972????





*sacrifice*

Remember, it's a UN show and when Russia raped Georgia, Obama's reaction was to get it before the UN Security Council and a Russian Veto...
