Something big happening?

[wryter2000]

Randi is talking about something big, but she's going to triple check it before she reports it. She says "all hell is breaking loose" in the studio. Anyone know what that's about?

[Vickers]

1. I dunno...Georgie is on vacation, so who knows WHAT is up their sleeves

:shrug:

2. N. Korea on brink of nuclear war

N. Korea says it's on the brink of nuclear war with us. She's reading it from ABC on-line.

[liberalhistorian]

But-but-but

but they don't have any oil, so they're not on the "axis of evil list", so that can't be true!!!

GOD HELP US ALL if it IS true, because the Boy King has no fucking clue what to do about anything, and his neocon handlers just want to blow everyone away anyway.

25. Stop Feeding The Monkey!

Hey people, if worst comes to worst-why are we paying our so called taxes, and our credit card bills? Want a revolution, got a revolution?

[bearfartinthewoods]

32. again?? yawn......

the quadrennial, kim (i'll hold my breath until i turn blue ) jong's hissyfit.

[mouse7]

3. It's the N. Korea "brink of nuclear war" quote

I think there's a thread in breaking news.

5. Pre-Emptive Nuclear Strike on North Korea by US if I'm hearing

Randi Rhodes correctly.

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/79459/1/.html

SEOUL : North Korea said Friday the standoff over its atomic ambitions was on the brink of nuclear war as US Vice President Dick Cheney headed to the region for talks with key Asian allies.

The Stalinist state's official news agency accused Washington of "driving the military situation on the Korean peninsula to the brink of a nuclear war" with plans for a pre-emptive strike on North Korea.

More on link.

7. well...

... that is laughable. NK isn't going to do jack squat and they know it. Unless they are feeling suicidal.

[Arbustosux]

19. agreed

Its one thing to have the weapons, its another to be able to deliver them. They can threaten and attack our allies in the region, but they can't touch us here.

I feel so much safer knowing that Shrub is at the helm. He must have been the Captain of the Titanic in a former life.

[Sagan]

9. To be honest, I don't know why this would be such a huge deal..

North Korea periodically comes out with these kinds of statements. Not that I am trying to downplay it, but that's the truth.

[arcane1]

10. Bushes trying to justify their pre-9/11 missile-defence obsession?

:shrug:

[NewJeffCT]

4. nuclear war with whom?

South Korea? Japan? China?

[loudsue]

11. With the U.S.

It says that we've been positioning ourselves for a pre-emptive strike in the peninsula, and N. Korea says they have to rachet up their nukes, because of our position.

We're in trouble here folks.

Bush has been dying to drop a nuke ....probably since he was a kid, but definitely since he's taken over the white house. He's been sliding around his ranch, while our boys in the water are positioning our nukes toward N. Korea.

Not to worry....they're sending Cheney, who started the PNAC problem to begin with.
:kick:

[sendero]

15. You know what...

... I truly believe that if Bush* were crazy enough to drop a nuke, the military would tell him to go fuck himself.

It is not going to happen.

[liberalhistorian]

17. And what better way to distract

us all from the what's happening now in Iraq and the brewing shitstorm beginning to descend on the WH?

[Arbustosux]

22. You just know that dropping a nuclear weapon is masturbatory material

for Georgie!

[Journeyman]

24. Maybe with themselves? . . .

Like Clevon Little's character in Blazing Saddles, stick a gun to their own head and threaten to blow themselves away if we take a step closer.

Damn fools threatened too many times. I refuse to get involved. Plenty of other valid disasters on the planet than to worry about a bunch of second-rate stalinists with a low-grade device. Oh, sure, they'll be involved in the destruction of the world, but like most of us as simple witnesses.

[bearfartinthewoods]

33. that was a great bit...and i was trying to remember who did it and

in what movie...thanks.

[jimshoes]

6. Story about N. Korea at brink of nuclear confrontation

There was a thread this morning in LBN about this I think.

[northernsoul]

12. well, this would be an opportune moment for them to start trouble

our military is stretched to the breaking point
our diplomatic capital is at an all-time low
NK doesn't have much to lose
B*sh admin can't tie its own shoes correctly

oh shit.

[SoDesuKa]

8. Relax. Bush is In Charge

Bush is in charge. Relax, he won't let anything bad happen to us.

[loudsue]

14. Why do I not feel better?

:hi: You said a funny

:kick:

[hippiegranny]

21. you forgot to include

a sarcasm disclaimer on your post.... right?

[SoDesuKa]

35. /Sarcasm

OK, a sarcasm disclaimer.

For the record, I do not feel confident in Bush's leadership.

[Paradise]

13. this is the best i could do...

16. LBN - US gunships target Fallujah - maybe?????

[rucky]

18. maybe its this TX GOP crossdresser story:

[liberalhistorian]

20. Hey, they finally

found out about GOPisEvil, whaddaya know! :evilgrin:

[opihimoimoi]

23. More like Bush and Team gonna say UNCLE and do the strategic retreat thing

[BostonTeaParty04]

26. It's clear - Kim Il Jong has no idea what happened in the energy task forc

that cheney had in 2000/2001. North Korea isn't on the presumed 'map' of interest.

[Nicholas_J]

27. I bet

Cheney is over there trying to brief asian allies on a possible pre-emtive strike on the known nuclear facilities in North Korea, particularly China, who might get a bit edgy if the U.S. sents a a few dozen cruise missiles into North Korea to destroy the reprocessing reactors and storage facilities for any bombs the North may have built.

An article indicates that the N. Korea is threatening.

29. Yeah, does anyone know by now?

Was it the North Korea nuke story, or something else?

[seabeyond]

30. yes it was n korea story

and just briefly in one of her posts she read it said cheney threatened them with a nuclear preemptive attack. i only heard it from her, once and not since. i really want to know if cheney threatened n korea with a nuclear attack

[liberalhistorian]

31. Well, if that fucker

did indeed do that, then I haven't heard anything from the mainstream media at all. Which just goes to show you what whores they really are! Can you imagine if a DEM had said that (like a member of Clinton's WH), or if NK had threatened a preemptive strike on US?

[dpibel]

34. Fascinating assumptions

Read down this thread and look at all the people saying, "Oh, that little Korean peckerwood! What's he think he's going to do?"

The assumption being that lil' Kim Jong Il is threatening the great USofA. Silly rabbit!

Then, wayyyy down at the bottom, we get to the truth of the matter which is: He's reacting to threats made by the USofA. Sometimes it works that way. More now than it used to.

He's not saying he's about to attack. He's saying he's about to be attacked. He just might be right.
