#2 if there is this much wailing and gnashing of teath over a paltry (in international terms) 24 million dollars, then the north koreans are definately on the brink of colapse...

i say "screw em" if 24 million is so important, then they must be VERY close to collapse and maybe instead we should look for a lever to tip them over the edge and fix the problem permantly rather than put the problem on life support and keep them around and let the UN/msm have korea as an anchor to keep our foreign policy from making headway in other areas

#3 Anyone who believes the UN is good for ANYTHING needs to correct their rectal/cranial inversion. The United Nations may have started out with good intentions, but the only use it has now is to PROLONG conflicts so that it can continue to be seen as "needed". If we scrapped the UN and all its many factions, we'd find that conflict resolution would be greatly simplified. Using the "biggest stick" also works. Scrapping the UN would make it easier to use that stick.

#4 The $24 million is not important. Remember, the 1 million tonnes oil promised in the latest agreement is worth $500 million by itself. It is access to the banking system that is important. It allows payment of goods for Kimmie to buy off his supporters, payment for arms sales, and laundering of drugs and counterfeit currency.

#5 I just have to wonder if that 24 Mil is in counterfeit 50's, in that case it represents pure profit, and releasing it is a direct effort to (Once Again) destroy America's Economy?

#6 On second thought, have treasury officials "Examine" this 24 Mil, if any counterfeits are found, pull Macau's Banks Charter Permanently, and confiscate then destroy ALL AMERICAN CURRENCY in that bank, that ought to pretty well ruin them, no more screwing around, you handle Korean Counterfeits you lose ALL

#7 Oh come now, Redneck Jim. $24 million won't "destroy America's Economy" -- that's just a year's pay for one or two middling CEOs.
