We’ve heard this before but not in a long time.
Keeping diplomatic developments coming at a head-snapping pace, the South Korean government said on Sunday that North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, had told President Moon Jae-in that he would abandon his nuclear weapons if the United States agreed to formally end the Korean War and promise not to invade his country.
What’s different?
From RedState:
Ever notice that this administration is only lightning-fast when it comes to shifting blame when things don’t work out perfectly? They practically left a vapor trail in their zeal to anonymously accuse the US military of being responsible for our tense situation with North Korea:
So, it’s the Navy’s fault that the U.S.-North Korea spat has gone so far?
That’s the apparent message from senior administration officials who, according to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, said that they had long planned to send B-52s, B-2 stealth bombers, and F-22 fighters to the Korean Peninsula as part of preplanned wargames with South Korea, but that they had not planned the recent deployment of Navy destroyers.
Last weekend, the U.S. ordered two guided-missile destroyers to the Western Pacific — the U.S.S. John S. McCain and the U.S.S. Decatur — to provide additional defense against North Korean ballistic missiles.
Command takes responsibility, Mr. Obama.
Indeed. Especially when one is Commander-in-Chief instead of Blameless-In-All-Things. Really, other than the Drone killings, and indicating he was fine with the Affordable Care Act being called Obamacare, what positive things has he done? Yes, I know – OBL. However, that was a continuation of a program that preceded him – any President would have given that order. Yes, as it turns out (I bookmarked this a couple of days ago) the Navy used its protocol to send two additional destroyers without getting Presidential approval – it wasn’t needed. In fact, new DoD Sec. Hagel didn’t even have to approve it. Yet, Obama choose to hide behind (not lead from behind) and…
Susan Rice: “As a result North Korea‘s ruling elite who have been living large while impoverishing their people….” The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to impose a new sanction on North Korea that ‘specifies some luxury items North Korea’s elite is not allowed to import, such as yachts, racing cars, luxury automobiles and certain types … Read more
President Obama says Secretary Clinton has been one of our country’s finest Secretaries of State. Huh?? Is the President now smoking something other than cigarettes?
Is the world safer, more peaceful, are threats reduced, is our country more respected around the world, are people more free than they were when Hillary took over as Secretary of State? No, no, no, no and no!
The Middle East is in turmoil and the power of radical Muslims is increasing (with our help!!). Non-aggressive governments in Egypt and Libya have been replaced, with Hillary’s and Obama’s help, with anti-American governments that want to destroy Israel. The Obama administration armed al Queda affiliates in Libya and Syria.
Is the average #occupier as dysfunctional as North Korea? Think about it. North Korea has no practical use. If North Korea disappeared tomorrow and materialized on Kepler 22-b, our world would not suffer. #Occupy, same thing. The NorKs are constantly looking for an excuse to agitate and create conflict. #Occupy is no different. There is … Read more
The big international news of the day is the death of North Korea’s despot, Kim Jong Ill (yes, the obligatory “no longer ill, just dead”). The Communist regime that has controlled the country since the ’40s with its Stalinist command and control can easily be seen from space at night as the image to the … Read more
