South Korea vows retaliation
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak announced today that South Korea’s military “must respond relentlessly when they come under attack” from the North. He went on to say that South Korea isn’t afraid of engaging in a war with the hermit kingdom. This following a statement from the North indicating that their roly-poly pompadoured leader is a bit irrate over the South’s continued war exercise.
Kim’s military chief threatened last week to launch a “sacred” nuclear war against the South.
The North’s main newspaper issued a warning Monday that South Korea’s recent exercises are “reckless military provocation” that could lead to the South to face a self-destruction. “There is limit in our patience,” said the Redoing Sinmun commentary carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
Well, in my opinion, Myung-bak had better worry about a war with the North. Not because of any particular strategic reason, but because of the world’s Leftists.
Look at Israel. They were condemned for erecting walls that have since ended homicide bombings. When they retaliate against missiles launched from Lebanon or Gaza, the weight of world opinion crushes an effective response. Hell, right now there’s another flotilla headed for Gaza. Does anyone remember any condemnation when Israeli commandos were attacked on the last effort?
Yeah, if an ally of ours tried to save the lives of several million dregs living under the Stalinist regime of North Korea, the Left would twist themselves up in knots even with credible mitigation.
We’ve got VFP still protesting the Korean War. Some of them were waving “US Out of Haiti” signs the last time I went to one of their protests. Of course, I’d kick in a coupla bucks to send a plane load of them to North Korea to be human shields.

I must say I would find it extremely funny if the Left decides to side with North Korea, given North Korea’s policies of racial hygiene and eugenics.
Oh well. The Left sure hasn’t been on the side of women’s rights in the Middle East. Why should we be surprised if they side with North Korea?
You know I’m really not looking forward to going north of the 38th
Doc, if it turns into a real shooting match again I’m not sure we would physically risk ground troops without exercising ‘other’ options first. I hope we don’t have to find out.
Dems have a nasty habit of getting into wars bass ackward. Usually backing into a corner, before they get stuck in a war they didn’t plan on, and the last two Dems that took us to war got corn cobbed, yet strangely enough the country went left. . . go figure.
