What's Cookin On the Threat Board. Nothin???
I hope that it is just my paranoia getting the better of me but this little gem from an article about North Korea in the NY Times this morning gave me a start:
North Korean nervousness is expected to reach a higher pitch in late October, when warships of the United States Navy, the Japanese Coast Guard and other allied nations are to conduct joint exercises in the Sea of Japan. The maneuvers will be held under the banner of the Proliferation Security Initiative, a program designed to interdict seaborne illicit cargoes from an unnamed country. Previous training has taken place in locales distant from North Korea, such as the Coral Sea, off the coast of Australia.
"They really believe that Bush and Koizumi are in a plot for a pre-emptive attack on North Korea," Mr. Quinones recalled of his early August conversations in Pyongyang. "The hardliners will use P.S.I. The military will say, `I told you so.' "
Hmm, a preemptive attack on North Korea that could escalate into a nuclear shooting war.
Sounds like a good reason to cancel elections. Nooclur combat toe to toe with the commies.
Lets see, we have a megalomaniacal dictator raised from birth to lead his nation, armed with nuclear weapons whose country has been identified as part of the axis of evil. Do you think he might have an itchy trigger finger?
On our side we have a moronic president, also raised from birth with the certainty that his family is bred to govern, who has announced a new military policy of attacking enemies before they attack us. Both leaders feel in their bones that power may be slipping from their hands.
Who will shoot first?
What time is it on the doomsday clock?
Where in the hell is Major Kong?
