Hahahaha...so far the record for Demokratic leaders after JFK has been one of foreign policy weakness! LBJ: Vietnam! Carter: Iranian Hostage Crisis is a start! Clinton: Somalia, Rawanda, Saddam Hussien calling his hand all the time, Kobar towers, the Embassy attacks in Africa, Bombing of the USS Cole, failure to get UBL when Sudan would've handed him over to us, last but NOT least 911! Yeah, 911, it was his polices that set that up and his failure to do a proper "hand-off" to GWB,
So, as you can see, recent Demokratic Presidents are miserable in this field!

I think President Obama is on the case and near future events will prove as much. We've finally got a POTUS with balls and brains. Trying to portray him as a weakling only resonates with his right wing opposition who fervently hope for some catastrophe that in their wet dreams, will propel them back into a position which they have proved they are incapable of manning.

Tough talk and costly swagger is all the right wing requires.

I don't think Patreaus would touch the Republican brand with a ten foot pole. He's a very smart guy - like Obama.

You should have been around and served under Jimmy. Bush might not have been a real friend to our military but we were still strong. The USSR could have rolled right over us when Jimmy was CinC....IMO

You got that right they downsized our military by 500K,to increase the pay and lure volunteers using less troops to cover more ground. And now we will be forced to downsize again our already inadequate military due to excessive cost. When what we need is a draft with a pay rate that is affordable and sustainable. A civic duty where all serve and not a job with parity to the civillian sector the direction it is heading.
Everyone gets thier turn in the barrel and bites the bullet for a few years.

To effectively knock out the US IT infrastructure, you would need a burst in the megaton range.


Im not so sure about that and all this EMP talk.
Im confused since I experienced a 6 MT air burst
over 54 years ago and there were no effects on the electronics or infrastructure. The Islands systems were unaffected desalinazation plant,communications, electronics, radar tracking, ect. The 7th fleets task force that ringed the Island with all the AEC test equiptment was unaffected also, So in reality I dont understand what changed? EMPs today are the same as they were then I would assume. So WTF are they talking about??

You do know your post is silly? Obama made a major effort to manuver Kim into this present untenable position. And in a recent speech, he point blank said that unlike past Presidents, he's NOT going to let Kim bluff his way into getting more welfare.

So you think he first deliberately created a situation where Kim is right behind the eight ball, only to back down? You have a hell of lot more bias then most people if you can't even see this.

Dave they just dont understand how the game of chess is played by the masters. Right now Obamma has kim in check, Its his move and a tough one since they dont like to lose face and that makes him dangerous. but Obama is unlike his predesessor being smart is already 5 moves ahead of him.

I haven't a clue what people expect from Obama. Is he suppose to start a war over this?
Those that are slamming him for not reacting to Kim, think about it, what CAN he do? Those giving the President props, why, he isn't doing anything. Come on folks, stop looking with your partisan blinders on and understand that there is NOTHING he can do to NK.

Sheez, between the bashers and cheerleaders, is it no wonder this country is falling apart?

Basically stating that Kim does not have a nuke capable of knocking out the US IT infrastructure. The actual amount is higher than what I stated. I'm just trying to keep the conversation to an unclassified open discussion. As for electronics, the electronics now are even more sensitive to emp and tempest than they were 54 years ago. Remember, you had vacuum tubes back then, versus the printed circuits we have now. As such, the electronics back then weren't as sensitive to emp as they are now.

I believe he's prepared to "risk" a war, in which most of the actual burden will be on the South, with us providing air support, and if necessary, nuclear support. Kim costs us enourmus amounts of money simply by exporting his technology to whomever is ready to fork over the cash.

He's succeded, where Bush and Clinton failed, in isolating the North from it's usual protectors.

I "think" he expects the North to fold, which in this case might be fatal to the regime. Dictatorships like Kims cannot take "The Great Leader" backing down. I believe Obama expects a collapse, but is ready for a worst case scenario.

I certainly don't want him to start a war, but I do expect him to do what he can to get rid of Kim. I didn't complain about Bush trying to get rid of Kim, I complained about the WAY he went about it. For years, using Boltan (who is almost as nuts as Kim) to be in charge of "negotiations." Now that didn't work to well. Smile

Yeah, sure! You and your liberal buddies are hoping that Obama has a worst case scenerio plan. Judging by his Gitmo closing plan, I am not so sure.
We will see. I am predicting that China will ensure that the fruit cake in NK will fissles out. Both will have saved face and NK continues to build and eventually has the capability to have long range missles.
After that, let your imagination work!

Those that are slamming him for not reacting to Kim, think about it, what CAN he do? Those giving the President props, why, he isn't doing anything. Come on folks, stop looking with your partisan blinders on and understand that there is NOTHING he can do to NK.

Sheez, between the bashers and cheerleaders, is it no wonder this country is falling apart?


I believe he's prepared to "risk" a war, in which most of the actual burden will be on the South, with us providing air support, and if necessary, nuclear support. Kim costs us enourmus amounts of money simply by exporting his technology to whomever is ready to fork over the cash.

He's succeded, where Bush and Clinton failed, in isolating the North from it's usual protectors.

I "think" he expects the North to fold, which in this case might be fatal to the regime. Dictatorships like Kims cannot take "The Great Leader" backing down. I believe Obama expects a collapse, but is ready for a worst case scenario.

I certainly don't want him to start a war, but I do expect him to do what he can to get rid of Kim. I didn't complain about Bush trying to get rid of Kim, I complained about the WAY he went about it. For years, using Boltan (who is almost as nuts as Kim) to be in charge of "negotiations." Now that didn't work to well. Smile

I agree with you for the most part. However, unless we use tactical nukes, the South wouldn't be able to hold the North back. Sheer numbers is in favor of NK and who is to say it wouldn't esculate or spread to a regional war. WW3 is a possibility with these actions.
Kim will be dead soon, I think President Obama should stay on Defense, keep the rhetoric low and let Kim bury himself.


Todays politics remind me of an old saying. - "Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?" - Joseph Stalin

The South is quite capable of handling the North, in conventional warfare. War of course is never a sure thing, but the odds are in favor of the South... Smile

Which is Ok by me... Smile

Moreover, unlike some of our so called allies, they have all the money they need, so they wont hit us up for "spare change man, need to buy a tank, you got a coupla bucks?"
