We should;

Ask South Korea, our ally, if they would like our help.

If they say no: deploy an airborn laser to Japan or Austrailia

if they say yes, place our “Unproven” missle defense systems in strategic locations around thier country.

At first notice of a launch, knock it down, and bomb the crap out of the launch site, rinse and repeat if necessary. And don’t use those smart bombs, maybe we could get rid of some of the old stuff we have laying around. Solve a few of our problems at the same time!

Once the defense systems are proven reliable we will have no trouble with North Korea, or Iran for that matter.

We are the lone superpower, and we have a responsibility to the world to stay that way!

To have moral leadership to get people to do things arguably not in their best interest requires some moral suasion and the last guy blew that wad all to hell. Sorry to bring up Bush Exiled but the facts are the facts.

At any rate, it seems like the only other option here–the option that history hasn’t proved impotent–is to forcibly eliminate NK’s nuclear capabilities. And Obama would never in a million years do that, barring a direct attack from the Beloved Leader (Kim, not Barack).

Asks Alan Stewart Carl, a moderate blogger: “At this point, I doubt China will want to do anything which might create the feared refugee crisis. And outside of military action – which really isnÂ’t on the table for a large number of reasons – nothin…

Shhhh! Reagan is listening! Do you want to be struck with a lightning bolt?

All power in heaven and earth centers in the person of Reagan. Everything that man needs in this world and in the world to come is found in Him. Without Him no man can hope to succeed, but with Him failure is impossible. No human mind has ever been able to comprehend the height, the depth, the length, and the breadth of the eternal realities that reside in Reagan, for He contains all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

You speak of celebrity to Obama? At least it’s not a cult.

Yes, things would be so much better if Bush was still in charge. Back in his day the North Koreans wouldn’t have dared to test a nuclear weapon or develop long-range missiles.

Oh, wait: that’s exactly what happened.

Is it that you’re one of those people whose memories don’t work? Or do you just think we have no memory?

As for the sainted Ronald Reagan: ran with his tail between his legs after 241 Marines were killed in Lebanon. Then sent a bible, a cake and some spare missile parts to Iran. Then made a deal with Gorbachev.

See? My long-term memory works, too.

Apparently it takes 4 more licks than it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. Which is promising, I guess. Personally, I am at a loss in attempting to imagine how Obama, during his 4 months in office, should have prevented this.

But one thing I am sure of is that it would not have happend if McCain had won.
ROTFLM-MF-AO.

This is the same Obama that was apparently busy with his puppy-vetting process or playing basketball while the Russians where nabbing our Afghan supply air-base in Kyrgizstan.

Obama is endangering our national security, a failure of his most primary duty as president… maybe we should draw a line here?

Living in a celebrity-driven/liberal/MSM fantasy world is not a right of Obama supporters to cling-to indefinitely, as it’s both the voters and the press’ duty to make informed, good-faith decisions… not waste power making a hollow fashion statement instead.

It’s rapidly getting to the point where this kind of willfully-ignorant “thinking” is not just irresponsible, but dangerous. Obamania’s sheeple are deeply delusional, and as Obama’s enablers, these fools are going to get us killed.

We should make clear that any use of a nuclear weapon coming directly or through a third party from NK will spell the end of the NK regime. Any attempt to sell a nuclear weapon to a terrorist organization, likewise.

And then we should let the Chinese deal with it.

But nuke acquisition has always been a “when” question, not an “if” question. Obviously, it has been worth our while to try and prevent the nuke club from growing when and where we can. We do what we can to retard progress in that domain. But ultimately, I don’t see any reliable (never mind foolproof) tools in ours or anyone else’s toolbox. A patient and determined nation is going to figure it out and make it happen. That’s how 1 becomes 2, 3 becomes 5, and so on.

What is the “world’s response” supposed to be? More bluster? More threats? A pointless embargo of some sort? Sooner or later, there is only one response, which is this:

Welcome to the club.

Membership has its privileges. Now we all have to get used to it.

But I suppose there is at least a chance that the Chinese have some contacts in North Korea (in the military, perhaps?) that could be used to generate a less bad regime. If not now, perhaps in time.
