1. The reality is that just about anyone who was President
would do exactly the same thing that President Obama did. That's how it's done.

8. It's not what's said. It's what's done that matters.
No U.S. President is going to go to war over some mutual artillery attacks between North & South Korea. It simply would not happen. Talk is just posturing.

13. Words have consequences
The leader of the free world can either tone down or crank up the rhetoric until there is no face saving way out for either side. Its their call.

You honestly believe there is no difference in the way President Obama handled this and the way a President McCain would have?

If you do we can agree to disagree on this one without being disagreeable.

Happy Thanksgiving.

9. He became owned by the PNAC crowd.
Wasn't Korea next on their 'hit list'? So I voted that we'd already be in a 3rd war.

10. same, as bush and obama have, threats, but no military action

NK showed we are a paper tiger when they threw our inspectors out, built, and then detonated a nuke.

with china and russia supporting them, there isn't much we can do.

14. I don't know, but if Palin had succeeded him by this time
I can pretty much guarantee she would have already bombed SOUTH Korea.
