#1 Bring everybody home now. SKor, you're on your own.

#2 If Roh wants Kimmie's A-bombs on his doorstep, that's his choice. Ask him if he's sure and then bring everybody home. But he'd do well to contemplate where that leaves Japan. Does he want Japan armed to the teeth too? That's what he's going to get. And we won't be working with him on missile defense -- I'm going to shrug when Kimmie launches a missile and the radioactive debris field drifts onto South Korea.

"Roh also said there was no evidence to support claims that North Korea was linked to terrorist organizations."
Refresh my memory. Wasn't a shipload of missiles hidden under a load of concrete intercepted just a year or two?

#3 Lee is the main architect of Seoulâs policy to seek closer ties with North Korea and distance Seoul from Washington.

[...]

"This could further strain the relations between Seoul and Washington," the diplomatic source said.

We don't need to defend you guys. You wanna run into Kim's arms, well, there won't be much of an objection. Oh, and please don't send any "refugees" here.

#4 Here it is. Scuds for Yemen hidden under bags of cement on a ship of dubious registry and flag. Yeah, no misbehaving going on here. Sure.

#5 Um, why is anyone surprised by this? Roh's attitude towards the US has been pretty evident for years.

Pfah.

#6 It seems that Roh has his own agenda. It would be infinitely better if SKor, Japan, and the US had a cohesive position vis a vis the Norks. Roh's position puts his country at great risk. This is an exceedingly dangerous position, and the gov't and political leadership of SKor better get it together really quick, or SKor will be left in the cold. The US and Japan will fall back to defense in the waters around SKor. I cannot believe this asshat. But the decision is up to the SKor elected officials.

#7 Of course, having an SKor airliner blown up by NKor with half of the SKor cabinet aboard is not terrorism.

#8 The sea blockade against North Korean Nuclear Weapons and missles is ongoing. We need to remove ALL Americans from Seoul ASAP. Let Roh stew!
