"actionable intelligence"

There have been certain concerns trying to push us into bombing Iran for sometime now. Fortunately, we had President Obama at the helm, and he negotiated a nuclear agreement with Iran.

Also, the "red line" for them based on their rhetoric, is testing.

The bottom line is this, there is no motivation for NK to attack any of its neighbors unless it is attacked. They realize they would be toast if they did a pre-emtive attack.

South Korea has made it very clear that they do not want ANY country engaging in a pre-emtive attack, including the United States.

What needs to be done is to get all parties to the negotiating table, like President Obama and John Kerry did with Iran, and to stop the saber rattling bullshit
