SSDD - Same Stuff Different Day

Is anyone surprised that North Korea is protesting South Korea's navel exercise? I question if the should get the satisfaction of being reported every single time...

The most recent threat, carried by the north’s state media, said Pyongyang’s forces would deal harshly with any threat proposed by Monday’s kickoff of annual South Korean-U.S. military drills that North Korea characterizes as a dress rehearsal to an invasion.

We (The US) Might Want to Denounce!

I know these threats from the north are a dime a dozen; however, they could also mean something - could lead to loss of life... especially, if there is no acknowledgment or consequences from the US!

A year ago Wednesday, North Korea launched an attack on the civilian island of Yeonpyeong, killing two marines and two civilians and shattering the sense of security that South Koreans had enjoyed for almost 60 years.
The island shelling came half a year after North Korea torpedoed a naval ship, the Cheonan, killing 46 sailors

More Tension in Korea

This is something else our government needs to be watching...

North Korea is Going to Keep...

...pushing until either WE (the US (i.e. The "O")) do something or worse something REAL bad really happens.

They will keep pushing until they are told enough is enough. Not to mention, I am sure we are supposed to keep our eye on this while they are doing something else - Like helping Iran with their nuclear program!

Sounds all To Familiar

While the world focus on one side of the world North Korea plays its usual games; however, there is a new twist, it seems they are playing unchecked and unchallenged by the US - Wonder if this is the change voted for?

...wasn't this suppose to stop with his election?

I thought the "hatred" of America was supposed to stop, with the "we can get along with everyone" president and an appeasement foreign policy - Guess the North Koreans didn't get that memo.

Mad Mom is Back

"Mad mom" (Cindy Sheehan) and Code Pink are back to making fools of themselves. Protesting something they know nothing about (hint: the Korean governement asked for these base consolidation)... By the way, you misspelled base, dumb-dumb-dumb--but that is not a surprise!

US activists protest larger SKorea bases

Shouting slogans such as "Stop US military base expansion!" and "Stop repression in Pyeongtaek!" the protesters held up their US passports and asked police to get out of their way.

Medea Benjamin, founder of Code Pink, a US women's peace organization, said: "There is no way that I feel my family will be more secure or that Korean families will feel more secure by expanding the Camp Humphreys base (in Pyeongtaek) and taking land from people who have farmed there for generations."
