#3 And a UN Security Council respnse would have accomplished what? Response or no response, the result is the same.

#4 "the Chinese might now be telling Barry, "mess with the Norks and we won't buy your T-bills anymore."

I would not be at all surprised to learn Barry and the Hildebeast consulted with China on this issue prior to making any statements at all. We're "all in" with the Chinese Communists and have been for years. Now they call the shots.

#5 Well it would have been nice to shoot down the Nork missile but we didn't. Maybe this was because China asked us not to.

I don't think the PRC cares much about the missiles but there is some reason to think they have restricted the NORK nuke program (no tests lately, no satellite signature of a reactor operating) If the cost of slowing the NORK nuke program is letting them shoot a missile, its not too high a price.

#6 This is just the beginning. Obambi is a limp-dick and everyone knows it. He will be rolled by every country in the world, big and small. No wonder they were cheering him on so much.

#7 Biden: Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking... were gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

FAIL

#8 Barry might as well hold up a sign and tell the Chinese Communists to go ahead and take Taiwan. Of course there would be the perfunctory, strongly worded appear to the UN Security Council.

#9 Our response should be to sell Pershings to South Korea.

#11 Maybe with Barry running to the UN and nothing coming out of it is maybe it will show how useless the UN really is to those who are on the fence.

Or is that hoping for too much?

#13 Did anyone really think that O-Chamberlain was planning to do anything meaningful here?
