#1 This makes me nauseated. Kerry is an enemy of the United States.

#2 The Cart: The best alternative is for the United States to engage North Korea directly.

The Horse: We all have grown weary of North Korea's truculence its habit of ratcheting up tensions, followed by calls to negotiate back from the brink, followed by concessions, and a repetition of the process.

Leaving Hilly as the sweeper, yet again.

#4 Excuse me while I put some kleenex to the nose bleed this absolutely nutty leap of "logic". My goodness, the lefties really do believe that you can solve every problem with lunch, Perrier and some some good Brie...

The diplomats at Foggy Bottom have forgotten one singularly important aspect of negotiations, i.e., the other side has to be willing to negotiate and have something they are willing to give up to come to a solution.

Since the Norks neither want to negotiate nor have anything they are willing to give up, the flights to Pyomgyang are a colossal waste of time and JP-5.

#7 We had a relationship with N Korea?

Besides the unhappy one with war, broken dishes and milkman fucking that is.

#8 The best alternative is for the United States to engage North Korea directly.

#9 I think he means bending over and grabbing our ankles SteveS.

After all Kerry was in Vietnam you know. If you don't I'm sure he'll be more than willing to show you his home movies.

Me I think the first step would be to sink the Pueblo if we can - just to show we can.

#10 Jeez Kerry shut up. Suppose the S Koreans appreciate this after getting shelled and ship blown up.

#13 Tattoo "Long Pig" on his forehead and send him and his lucky CIA hat upriver to Pyongyang.

#14 Yes, EP 71X6, we'll do that. Sensible solutions tick another box.

#15 I have to broadly agree wid KERRY on this one - iff OWG-NWO + "Globalism", etc. = the US transferring Cold War-era + post-GWOT regional security responsibilities to its various international allies, e.g. QUAKE-TSUNAMI-FUKUSHIMA stricken Japan = NE Asia, then it needs to be able to protect them while in process.

As said before, Amer's allies desire or prefer to have their own arsenals of NucWeaps + other weapons in order to carry out the above.

As per JAPAN, Rising China, US ally the ROK, + other East Asian states are reluctant or don't want Japan to have NucWeaps, etc. due to historical issues. Beijing curren sees itself as World #2 behind the US, soon to be sole World #1 "post-US", + doesn't want any competition or hindrances to same.

2011-2020/2025 = dangerous period for the US-World vee Rising Nuclear Terror Threat + other - THE US MAY HAVE TO MAKE "DEALS WID THE DEVIL" TO PROTECT ITSELF + ITS ALLIES DURING THIS VULNERABLE PERIOD.

THE DEATH OF OSAMA HAS ONLY EXPANDED THE REGIONAL, GLOBAL MILTERR TERROR THREAT, NOT REDUCED IT.
