    I'm with ya welderguy. Let Congress tell us why they want to go to war and when we approve it, let's kill'em all.

    Sadly, Winter, that isn't true. The President tells Congress when he wants money for a police action. We don't even bother to declare war any more.

    I'm still ticked about the "Boiled Pumpkin" comment, by the way.

    NK is insane, but they're not suicidal like some nut jobs we've dealt with. (no 72 virgins waiting for them) They know full well that anything they try will be the last thing they remember.
    We'd get hurt for sure, but they'd get annihilated.
    So my guess is, it's a whole lot of who shot John.

    Well if I was Obama, ( I'm glad I'm not ), I would let them make the first move, then use our bombers to take out all of his radar facilities, landing strips, ammo stores, military basis, and anything he could use to attack people with. I would render him helpless in les than 2 days. Then I would make it very clear that there will be no aid from the US to fix the damage and tell Kim, well, it's your move again boy!

    Not me. I'd knock out the sewers and wait for them to back up. They'd be up to their eyebrows in $7!+ and too busy to worry about us. But, hey, that's just me.

    WT, I was there during the Pueblo crisis. My guess is that there's a nuclear sub, or subs, just off their coast in the Sea of Japan. NK would cease to exist in about 15 minutes. I can assure you that our forces have been on an elevated defcon for some time.

    I think nuclear missiles would be the last resort for us because there would be too much collateral damage for the bleeding hearts, and possible nuclear spillover into South Korea. With the pn point accuracy of our Air Force, we could render his military helpless with just a few sortees!

    Yep. Just sayin! We still need to sink the Pueblo which is still tied up in one of their harbors. Fox reported this morning that we've moved an anti-missle frigate into the area, too. I doubt that she's out there with no back up this time!

    I hope it goes without saying that going nuclear will always be the last resort if it's even an option at all. The problem here is hitting virtually ALL of their THOUSANDS of WMD sites (most of which are mobile) and their central command simultaneously, because to do otherwise will virtually guarantee that NK annihilates the population of Seoul and much of the south with WMDs.

    Let's just hope he has an exit ramp picked out to get off this pot hole strewn highway he's headed down.

    Bottom line on this, is that goof ball is dangerous, if even one nuke gets away from him....
    Brought up to actually believe everything he is saying with no point of reference to reality.

    Personally, although I can visualize, and joke about the devastation that may very well occur, anywhere......I still shudder to think of the wide spread results.

    That make me very afraid....

    In my mind......results would be similar to....

    Oh yeah, we don't use that pesky document any more.

    Then we need to do a large sortee and hit all of those first I guess. It's probably going to be a mess no matter what!

    Looks like Ole Pyongyang has ratified a nuclear preemptive strike against the U.S. mainland.

    That would be enough for me. It doesn't have to arrive by air. We may laugh at them, but, dammit, THEY HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

    It's not like we can call the police and ask them to remove the threat. If we lived in a society without police, and my next door neighbor was walking around his yard with a gun announcing he was going to kill me, he wouldn't make it back into his house alive.

    If you see a Tiger in the woods, it's not a good idea to draw his attention and threaten him with a BB gun. The same principle should apply to an Eagle.
