Our torpedo was trundling along, minding its own business, and they put a ship in its way. That sort of provocation cannot be allowed to stand. No juche for you!

#2 So we reap the fruits of the SKor Sunshine Policy (sucking up NKor in public and sending the NKor VIPs lots of money as bribes/humanitanian assistance).

The guy who initiated the Sunshine Policy in the late Clinton era was SKor Prez, Kim Dae Jung. He leveraged this into a Nobel Peace Prize. Then, in the early W years, Roh Moo-hyun was elected on a 'lets do more Sunshine' promise. Lee Myung-bak took office in 2009 and reduced the bribes (he said he ended them but there were probably different people being bribed for less money).

#3 If I was in the SoKorean Pentagon, I would be cancelling any and all leaves, pushing for emergency ramp-ups on weapons and munition deliveries, and calling "unscheduled practice deployments" of all armor, artillery, and infantry OUT of their respective homebases, immediately.

isn't that what's happening...? artillery have been put on high alert and deployed - so has the navel border patrols - just because they are not printing deployment conditions in the blogs, does not mean it is not on the ready
