As over fifty world leaders gather in Seoul to address the task of how to more effectively secure nuclear materials, their landing path at Incheon airport will take them within range of North Korean surface-to-air missiles. Although North Korea’s nuclear and missile capabilities are not formally on the agenda for the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit, Pyongyang’s leaders have done their best to ensure that North Korea won’t be forgotten in the global confab, first by announcing plans to launch a satellite in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the birth of North Korea’s founder Kim Il-sung, and then by threatening war if the summit issues a statement on Pyongyang’s nuclear program.
The United States and DPRK in their respective February 29 “Leap Day” statements tentatively seemed ready to hit the “reset” button in U.S.-DPRK relations, but Pyongyang has apparently hit the “replay” button instead by rewinding to the events surrounding North Korea’s long-range rocket launch in 2009.Even more worrisome is that the recent satellite launch announcement puts North Korea on a collision course with the international community as the DPRK seeks to consolidate political leadership under Kim Il’sung’s grandson, twenty-something Kim Jong-un. Kim Jong Il’s formal succession was accompanied by the launch of a Taepodong missile in 1998, and plans for Kim Jong-un’s succession were marked at an early stage three years ago by the North’s 2009 satellite launch, which was roundly condemned by a U.N. Presidential Statement.North Korea’s outraged response to international efforts to ban its freedom to use outer space for peaceful purposes in 2009 included threats to conduct a nuclear test, which North Korea carried out only a month later. The strong international reaction that is building in response to defiant North Korea’s latest satellite launch announcement will heighten outrage in Pyongyang, while Pyongyang’s defiant insistence on its right to conduct a satellite launch will further outrage the international community.
For the United States, continued North Korean long-range missile testing (even under the guise of a satellite launch) highlights the priority concern of North Korean vertical proliferation, identified in the June 2010 findings of CFR’s Independent Task Force on Policy Toward the Korean Peninsula, and underscores the concern expressed by former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in December 2010 that North Korea’s development of a long-range missile capability could become a direct threat to the United States.
The current path illustrates a fundamental dilemma for North Korea: actions taken to consolidate political leadership around Kim Jong-un may subject the DPRK to international protest, while deference to international concerns may undermine internal political legitimacy. But what if there are efforts to call Pyongyang on its assertion that it is only exercising its freedom to the peaceful use of space? What if the international community makes an offer that respects their right to send up a satellite but not a missile?
If one sets aside the challenges of securing inter-agency support, North Korea’s clear efforts to wed the rocket launch to Kim Jong-un’s political consolidation, and the backdrop of electoral politics in South Korea and the United States, how might one construct a policy path that combines diplomacy and force in ways that offer Pyongyang a face-saving way of advancing its satellite aspirations without damaging internal legitimacy by backing down to international demands? Such a course might include the following steps:
1) The United States seeks a third party willing to offer North Korea launch services to place a North Korean satellite in orbit, and mobilizes support for such an offer among allies and partners in the six party framework.
2) The United States quietly puts into place assets designed to give the U.S. president a credible preemptive option by following through on the past policy recommendations of former Secretary of Defense William Perry and current Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter that a North Korean multi-stage rocket be the object of a preemptive strike if it is placed on the launch pad.
3) The U.S. pursues U.N. authorization in advance of a North Korean satellite test to enforce Security Council resolution UNSC Security Council Resolution 1874 with action to preempt North Korea’s satellite launch, arguing that North Korea’s 2010 provocations have shown that limited use of force on the peninsula need not escalate into full-scale war.
4) The United States sends a special envoy to Pyongyang to make the offer of launch services, while underscoring American will to stop North Korea’s planned launch, with the understanding that acceptance of such an offer may be used by North Korean authorities as evidence of international support for North Korea’s new political leadership.
5) The United States coordinates with Beijing to underscore to Pyongyang the sincerity of the international community’s willingness to launch a North Korean satellite into orbit so as to uphold restrictions on North Korean long-range missile launches of any kind as stated in U.N. Security Council Resolution 1874.
6) Having sidestepped confrontation, the United States and DPRK implement “Leap Day” pledges, opening the way for the confidence building measures that North Korea called for in its own February 29 statement.
This admittedly unlikely script would avoid a serious case of déjà vu in which we are doomed to repeat the cycle of 2009. It would also deprive Pyongyang of the ability to use international outrage as a means to unite North Korea’s population in support of the succession process. It might also instigate a serious debate in Pyongyang over the future of North Korea and its relationship with the international community. But does the political will exist to pursue it?

Appeasement; fantasy.
It's fantasy at any rate.
North Korea carried out a launch in April 2009 under the pretence of a test of satellite technology.
It said the rocket made it into orbit. Many didn't believe it and thought the launch was a cover for testing long-range missiles.
Does China have influence on his wilful little brother? Obama criticised Beijing for not being tough enough with Pyongyang.
The problem is that the 3 most powerfull nations are still nuclear power
nuclear power must be eliminated
For this we need a strategy inverse to the neutron bomb
Anihilate hardware, preserve lives
The first step is fast weapons able to neutralize nuclear weapons, and finding a way to neutralize non-missiles nuclear weapons (like the russian suitcases)
the amerucan rail gun and hypersonic bombs are a good step in that direction. but we still lack a way to neutralize the nuclear reaction
Agree.. but even better if gradually dismantle all nuclears weapons for the good of mankind
man will never be able to solve mans problems...we have a vast history of fumbling the ball...and to make things worse we never learn from our mistakes...this is the world my fathers father left him to fix and this is now my world my father left me to fix..i seem to have the right tools but lack the desire and will...i think I'll just wait and see what my son will do....
I don't believe we have the right to say if they can launch a missile, or use a missile to put a satellite into space. We asked them to stop their nuclear weapons in exchange for food. Do we really have the right to tell them that they can't put a satellite into space using their own means? They aren't exactly a trusting group. They have been cut off from the world for a very long time, I don't see them doing a full turn around right away. Also, what right does the U.S... or anyone within the U.N. have to tell any other country they can't have long range weapons? I agree that North Korea might not be the best place to have them, but I still don't think any country, especially those with wmd, should tell any others what weapons they can have and/or use.
@Barb
I fully agree with you! And what I find so outrageous and deceitful with America's whining and finger pointing is that the other countries in the region, you know Russia and China aren't even complaining! I can understand SK's concerns because it fought a war with NK but all this exageration and whining is becoming too redundant and annoying!
Thank you, I agree with you and Barb! The right-wing thugs in Washington keep trying( unfortunately, only too successfully) to disinform us about North Korea.
True, but in foreign politics "whinning and finger pointing" shouldn't be do any harm. North Korea is behaving like an unruly teenager, who loves to disobey and defy from time to time.
Absolutely agree with you. As long as it posses no threat, why can't they do what they want. It's fairly hypocritical to ask them not to do anyhting while the US and other allied countries has thousands of missles. It's not North Korea starting wars aroudn the world is it??
we have a right as humans to tell any and all country,s to stop useing up the oxygen and air, stop expelling rocket and military pollutants into the atmosphere, before you go any further i think you should consider that the oceans that produce oxygen and air have and are being polluted with waste acidity and destroying oxygen produceing plants and coral, don,t you people think there is enough dead satellite s and equipment circleing the earth, it has got to the point where astraunats are going to have to stay inside protective crash bublles,
I think we should point eveything we have at the trouble makers and bring our troops home from around the world. We should never start another war with the least potent weapons we have.We need another Harry Truman before he became Washingtonized dring the Korean War.
Quite true jorge, quite true.
TOTALLY!
Make sense to me!
I agree we don't have the right to tell them what they can and cannot do. But when you can spend that kind of money to build a supposed Satellite and Missle and can't feed your people that's just plain crazy! The only reason that North Korea gets away with what it does is because of China! When you have a huge big brother protecting you every step of the way, one can push there little bit of weight around! Of course China is not real user friendly to it's citizens either! But if one points that out to them they get rather huffy about it. There's no pleasing some people!!!!
The reason we can't allow them to further develop their missiles by pretending to launch a satellite is simple. We must make sure that they never have the ability to send a missile far enough to detonate a EMP device (electro magnetic pulse, i.e. a nuclear device) in the atmosphere over our county. With that one stroke they could wipe out our energy grid and fry all our electronics and bring down our economy. They already have nukes and are demonstrably crazy. We can't take any chances.
Do you honestly believe that NK would be inclined to launch a nuclear missle & detonate it over the U.S. to create an EMP? While admitedly such a scenario is not completely out of the realm of possibility, the odds of that actually happening are probably somewhere up there with the odds of winning a Power Ball jackpot. NK would have to be suicidal to open itself up to a massive retialiatory strike by SBLM's. China might not be all that willing to step in and protect NK in a situation. Communist govn't or not. It appears that the more they adopt capitalism the more they think like us and MAD is very bad for business. Besides if they take up arms against us, they won't get the 1 trillion we owe them back.
Thank you, Barb. You said it all!!!
It's not a satellite launch, it's a test of a ballistic missile. The question is not whether the U.S. has a "right" to say whether they can launch a missile. It's what should the U.S. do about weapons development that poses a threat (not to mention an exit from last month's agreement).
If you trust the North Koreans so much, why don't you ask them if you could fully inspect the rocket that they intend to launch and see how far that get you !
We are caught on a trap. It is like we have to feed the monster bear so it won't hurt us. Let the lazy monster bear do nothing to improve itself and we do the job to get the food for him. When are we gonna stop feeding him food and tell him to be independent and stop threatening us?
As a muslim extremist, you have no rights in America,
We find you on all discussions propagating hate against America and trying so sow dissent.
We know who you are and we are watching you.
Stop spewing poison against the country that is probably paying you and your girlfiends welfare.
I agreed with you,Barb. no too many america has clear mind like you. I wish all of american could think differently. the us gov. has been long time of being evil. food never buy county's diginity and right.
Why waste so much time with so many meaningless words? The whole world knows there is only one solution in North Korea. It is a nation full of brainwashed citizens and military who will follow their leader to whatever end he chooses. They have China on their side so large military operations are out of the question. It is time to start a-s-s-a-s-s-i-n-a-t-i-n-g their leaders until they pick one that isn't bat s-h-i-t crazy. Dismantling their nuclear capability without forcing China's hand is also long overdue. We aren't talking about anything difficult here.
Such is to be expected from someone like you butch, wth you limited mentality. Did you ever graduate from Grade School???
She has a point and you, George Patton, is pointless. Did you ever went to Kindergarten or preschool?
You ALL need to learn to use the English language correctly. Your grammar is absolutely terrible. It is amusing how you sit there and ask each other about finishing grade school, and yet you sound just as dumb and uneducated as the person you are attacking. lf you want anyone to take you seriously, then learn the basics of proper grammar and sentence structure. Not doing so just contiues to make you look like an idiot.
Wow...the American educational system at it's finest.
I'm so sorry but we are currently very, very busy doing just that very thing in those pesky irritating little Middle Eastern countries. What a bother they are! We are warming up to this one. Give us time. Signed, your owners at the CFR
It is what it is. By preempting forecasted aggression, we unambiguously become the aggressor. In either case we lose, but in the case of pursuing aggression, we lose much sooner. That's the nature of limited war. The only way to change the dynamic would be to pursue Total War and wipe countries off of the face of the map. That would not go unchallenged, and the world...humanity as we know it would be gone forever. Aside from the normal deterrence and obstructing of development, we're just going to have watch and wait for Korea or Iran to make an unambiguously hostile move.
shoot it down with patriot anticipated missiles!!
When your government moves an entire battle group into the Middle East they are okay to provoke the Iranians and threaten them with obliteration. But when we the gun is pointed at you, you don't like it. I wonder how many of you yanks can even spell "hypocrisy"? Our media outlets have become an absolute slave to the powers that want war with the world. Shame, it will be your ruin (it already has been). Better learn Mandarin.
china's missiles would never leave their own airspace. why do you think we have so many allies and bases in that part of the world? better learn mandarin? the only foreign language americans need to be learning is spanish.
they chinese icbm have a longer range then the minute man icbm that the usa uses so the dont need to use the closest trajactory they will hit the usa and britain from the north pole and australia and new zealand from the south pole armed with 12 nuclear war heads and a speed of 70000km per hour i think 1 is a nuff for new zealand air defenses against such weapons are limited beacuse of the enter and reenter from the space its not like shooting down a plane and moore like taking out a satelite but of course a satelite moves slower more like 35000km per hour.
Good thing life is short eh?
Learn mandarin? any war with china will go nuclear, so hopefully there is a heaven......
Just give them just a little bit more.....this time it is sure to work
The regime will laugh at a US offer to launch their supposed satellite? Clearly it's a guise for actual missile tests. This regime will continue to play their games with the US as they have done for the past 62 years. Mean while, the people of South Korea will continue to be in complete denial of what goes on in the Northl. Only when the US threatens a complete withdraws from the peninsula will the people figure out how to wipe their own *ss.
Oh, let them do it. Really. Their Fearless Leader just died, and now they've got a new Fearless Leader. He has to prove something. This is a relatively harmless fireworks show put on for the benefit of his regime. Yes, it's a lot of juvenile strutting and puffing, but this is a very immature country we're talking about.
They got loads of fearless leaders all programmed exactly a like.
Or we could yawn and let other countries do what they want to.
"...Secretary of Defense William Perry and current Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter that a North Korean multi-stage rocket be the object of a preemptive strike if it is placed on the launch pad."
A preemptive strike on NK's missile launching facilities would (and rightly so) be considered by them an act of war upon which they would immediately strike South Korea with a massive artillery and short-range missile attack. Within hours, the US would find itself in another Asian war which we could not sustain. Our troops are already exhausted after 10+ years of strife in the Mideast, our military resources are depleted and much of our force projection hardware is nearing obsolescence.
Military action against North Korea is out of the question.
Very true, but lets have a nice draft party and get our war based economy rolling again. War is good, occupying a country is bad.
So let me get this straight! A few months ago America and SK's forces conducted "routine" military exercises near the boarder with NK, exercises they conduct at least two times a year every year but yet they didn't perceive that as provocation or a threat NK's sovereignty! But now NK is about to launch a rocket in orbit, its a threat to SK and a violation of international law! Let's face it, just about everything America stands for is total and blatant hypocrisy!
Show of hands who actually believes; a) this is a realistic boast, b) that the missile will actually work?
Let's just bomb everyone.
That is when Dick Cheyney's replacement heart takes the 5th!
All weekend long I kept hearing about this replacement heart surgery that Cheney had. I am confused. Don't you have to have one in the first place to replace?
Collectively, we around the globe spend billions on this piece of trash country. Ignore it. Set-up some Patriots and let them be. They will ultimately crumble.
"Within hours, the US would find itself in another Asian war which we could not sustain. Our troops are already exhausted after 10+ years of strife in the Mideast, our military resources are depleted and much of our force projection hardware is nearing obsolescence."
Then you turn the northern half of the peninsula into a crater. End of story. The North Koreans already have half the components they need for a deliverable nuclear weapon – to the United States.
That gives us a clear stake and interest here in making sure Kim 3.0 can't play with his space toys too much.
Let them shoot off the bottle rocket they are calling a missle. I'm betting it will be a dud. Any idea how much a satellite launch costs? This is probably the reason we're having to give them food in the first place – I say we make a trade, one pound of food for every pound of rocket fuel they're willing to give up.
If you ever raised a nest of rung rats the best thing you can do is ignore them when they are demanding attention by showing their rear end.
A country that can not feed its people will eventually put a square peg in the wrong hole and ear plugs will be in order.
Simple answer: Threaten to put nukes in South Korea or at least start saying you are launching long-range ballistic missiles in South Korea. Maybe China might get serious with this issue and do something to prevent the crazy N. Korean government from getting in deeper waters. China and and U.S. have too much invested in each other to let this nut nation of N. Korea to ruin everything. China taking over N.Korea is better than what the world has now.
So your solution is to convince the North Koreans that they shouldn't have a missile OR space program and that if they need to put a satellite in space, we (in their eyes, the enemy) will put it in orbit for them? First of all, water it down with whatever fancy language you like, but this is exactly what you're saying in this article. Good luck selling that to N. Korea. Secondly, are you serious? We're in the process of – for all intents and purposes – shutting down our own space program because we can't afford it. We're going to assist a known enemy to launch their vehicles? Are you stoned? Finally, the very concept of providing scientific and military assistance to a militant rogue nation in order to prevent them from building ballistic missiles reeks of cowardice, naivety, and flat-out nonsensical logic at its very core.
WAIT!! The USA is sending food-aid to North Korea?? North Korea is attempting to put a rocket into space??
Where is the priorities?
Why are they still given aid?
You can bet they will not get by but one time screwing up with a nuke. Then all of their problems will be solved at once.Y
Roger that. As the poet once wrote, "There ain't no un-(expletive deleted).
North and South Vietnam fough a long and deadly war and nothing was achieved! We lost 54,000 soldiers in Vietnam and today the number Vietnamese commodity exported to the world is not oil but bananas! So just imagine all those dead US soldier for bananas! What a f-ing country we are! Now we are spending billions of dollars annually to maintain a 30,000 force in SK and nothing is being achieved. let's face it, if lasting peace is to be achieved between the two nations, I believe its only going to happen when we decide to demilitarize the region and let the two countries work out their differences!
What better way to solve the problem while sending a message that they are bush league by shooting the missile down after it's reached space.
Pray to God...... The USA does not need another war. WE are broke...... How can we pay for another stupid war when we can't pay our home mortgage.... The US needs to worry about our own countries problems and stay out of everyone's business.
Just try telling that to the right-wing thugs in Washington!!! They'll only turn a deaf ear!
The entire situation is simple. NO MORE HELP. They have money for missles....let them buy their own food.
Giving food and other aide to this country is like giving foodstamps to a crack addict. They are still going to find a way to buy the crack....and we make it easier for them since we are providing their food.
USA South korea joint military campaign is not threat or provocative but north korea missile lunch is provocative ? Howfunny . What a double standard . Shame on all stupid and idiot people. US think they own the world, stoping Iran, hunting kony, now punishing n.korea! Then alot of American idiot think they are supreme among other races! Wth,they dont know that they are slave of Zionist
Those of you who blame the US for provoking NK in various ways are ignoring history. The US and SK have spent the past 50+ years PROVING that we are not interested in attacking NK. We've had fifty years any MANY opportunities to do so if we'd wanted to. But as long as NK stay inside of it's little self-imposed cage and minded their own business, we also minded ours. It was THEY who escalated this conflict starting 20 years ago by beginning a nuclear weapons program. They did this because, with the utter failure of their political, economic and social systems, they needed some way to get the world to pay attention to them and send them aid. Now that they have nukes they continue to progress by developing missile technology under the guise of putting a satellite into orbit. What nonsense! What possible use would a satellite be to NK? How many people own GPS? How many get cable TV? How many have cell phones? The only possible use for a satellite is to help the government 1) test new missile tech, 2) provide new routes for propaganda, 3) develop a GPS system to help target weapons (like we have).
Stop blaming the U.S. NK is the basket case. And they have WMDs, and are developing delivery systems for them. And they are led by a megalomaniacal child and his megalomaniacal sycophants.
Sid
give them what they want...Lots of junk American food
The US could always hit it with one of their space based lasers, a ship based infrasonic weapon or they could just jam all communications between launch control and the missile and watch it crash to earth like their last one. They would never know what hit them.
Ascending launch rockets blow up all the time, so could this one. (Smile.)
Wait a second. Wasn't the White House and Hillary Clinton hailing a "diplomatic breakthrough" with North Korea just a few weeks ago? They were going to let in inspectors in the country in exchange for food. Thinking people everywhere rolled their eyes while looking at the naivety of the Obama administration. Lo and behold, look at things now.
I understand what you all are saying about we don't have a right to tell them what to do and what not to do, but you have to look at it from all angels. North Korea doesn't particulary have the best track record when it comes to following directions or holding agreements. The reason we are against this is because we are trying to get rid of the worst case possibilites. As Pyongyang said, anybody who is agianst what they're doing, he will assume it as a decleration of war. Korean's are basically the bullies of the world, and we just cant let them get out of hand, because one day, they won't be bluffing.
If they can afford to put a rocket in the air they they shouldn't get a bite of food from here
Agreed
1) What country need a third country to launch its own satellite? We certainly don't want another country to launch our satellite. 2) We would preemptively strike a country that plan to launch a satellite. What country should be on the list of preemptive strike? 3) Our preemptive strike would not provoke North Korea's escalating to a full-scale war. Can UN guaranttee that? The only way to ensure no fuul-scale war is we don't retaliate when NK starts retaliation. UN can't decide what NK would do. UN can't decide what China would do. UN can't decide what we'd do. 4) Do we really want to offer NK luanch service to show the world we really like NK leaders? How gullible are NK leaders? 5) Ask China to convince NK of our sincerity to help launch a NK satellite? To be really sincere, we can give NK a satellite at our cost. Every other country can demand our sincerity by developing satelite program at our cost.
I see that these right-wing idiots here are at it again, ranting about going to war with North Korea! All this stupid warmongering does get old after a while!!!
The only thing that north Korea understands is violence and shall be met with violence and more than they wished for.
The only reason that N.K. does these type of things is to irritate south Korea with the backing of China and Russia, If it weren't for those two than north Korea would be absolutely nothing but beggars.
Scott's plan sounds like a bizarre, reckless idea.
It will certainly re-ignite the dormant Korean War.
Glad he is not sitting in the White House!
Under the 2/29 announcement, the Obama administration said
the US has no "hostile" intent. By shooting down the satellite,
Uncle Sam will be the one breaking its pledge.
The smartest thing is to welcome NK into the space age.
Once again too many sledgehammer history revisionist are spewing propaganda and keep tensions tight. Cliinton deak w/N. Korea was not broken by them but by a Republican regaln of Congresr and led by Gingrich and the same Neo ConA*Holes that led us into Iraq. Korea spent hundreds of millions under DIRECT SUPERVISION OF UN AND US building all the nessesary buildings and infrastructure only to see US Hawks refuse to sell them the reactor. What has changed? It was the very same group* C F R* that advised Hawks to break deal back then.
To all the immature saber rattling, or is it baby rattles, N K does indeed have but one millitary responce to any attack that would hit their homeland, Full bore nn punches pulled, allout war to the death and assassinations are acts of war, just be US finds or at least the hawks have glorified a cowardly act into a foreign policy. Armitage. yes of Valery Plame affair. wrote what amounts to an Asian PNAC paper and our millitary knows well what a war with NK would cost. Iran like NK har same ideas towards attacks upon sovereign soil full bore millitary reasponce. They do not have the luxury to play war games but knowing they cant win will darn well at least give even worlds biggest bully* US* a darn bloody nose.
of course i like north korea...we are dont havent success move US !?
Let's see now... a story about Syria, a story about Kurd and Turks who obviously dearly love each other so giving them both arms to go to Syria should be OK, and a story about a North Korean woman who had to leave her child behind. Uh huh. Excellent! I'd say the CFR and Bilderberg members are rubbing their hands together in delight at how well this is all lining up. They have destabilized Libya and Egypt. Demonized Iran and al-Assad. Yes, things are coming along very nicely now. Always remember, the Rothschild banking family cartel outright own both Reuters and the AP wire services. Newsspeak.
There has been a regime change. I smell a large, stinky fish. Best thing the youngster can do is go on YouTube and denounce all these scary stories as a plot to involve him in a World War.
As soon as the missile clears North Korean air space, shoot it down as per UN resolution prohibiting them from conducting missile tests. Shoot down every one they test until they run out of cash. The South Korean economy dwarfs the North Korean economy.
I see no problem with N. Korea launching a satellite. I see a lot of hand-wringing over a nation trying to develop technology for peaceful purposes. The US has many satellites in orbit as do a lot of other countries, that space is open to everyone including N.K.
It's a joke,Russia and China are the problem – If they weren't so corrupt and worried about there arms industry then they would back the USA in sorting out all the rogue countries and this problem may be easier to solve.
Why did the greedy businessmen of USA take all the industry off to China and help build that corrupt country, they made a few bucks and now China owns them.
GREED is behind all wars,a chosen few in each government are benefitting and most working people don't care about foreign policy
Knocking it down in during second stage boost is the best way I know. Who's gonna say?
LET NORTH KOREA DO THE JOB AND WHY NOT? THEY HAVE NATIONAL RIGHT TO TEST A MISSILE. WORLD MADE BIG PROPOGANDA AGAINST THEIR NUCLEAR PROJECT. THEY LIED ON THAT THEY ARE CONDUCTIONG ONLY FOR PEACEFUL PURPOSES. BUT THEY DETONATED NUCLEAR DEVIVE. EVENTHOUGH IT WAS A FAILURE, THEY DID IT. WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD DID/ VIRTUALLY NOTHING. NOW THEY ARE SELLING NUCLEAR BOMBS TO IRAN AND TERRORISTS. WHO CAN STOP IT? ANSWER IS NO ONE.WE HAVE A PRESIDENT. AND HIS JOB IS TO SIGN THE PAPERS AND TAKE SALARY. I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT. ALL HIS PROMISES DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN ARE FAILED. NOW HE WILL COME WITH NEW PROMISES. WE WILL VOTE FOR HIM OR ANOTHER GUY. THIS CYCLE WILL CONTINUE FOREVER AND USA WILL BECOME A BIG ZERO IN THIS WORLD.
It's a great idea that the North Koreans be offered satellite launching facilities. Russia could provide such services in Siberia. The world should pick up the tab in the name of permanent peace! If the largest world power, the United States, can use the Russian services for launching rockets, without losing sovereignty, why the North Koreans couldn"t?
I beloved as much as you will obtain carried out proper here. The comic strip is attractive, your authored material stylish. nevertheless, you command get got an impatience over that you would like be turning in the following. unwell indisputably come further formerly again as precisely the similar just about a lot often within case you defend this hike.
My brother recommended I would possibly like this website. He was entirely right. This submit truly made my day. You can not imagine just how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
Usually I do not learn post on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to take a look at and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, quite great article.
