So how about that North Korea dealeo..

[bigq]

Looks to be getting better and we didn't even bomb the shit out of them, where does the credit lie?

[centerhill condor]

that "W"...he even pulls one out every now and then.
I'm pretty impressed, so far. Apparently they like yankee money!
Apparently, they are playing by the rules. The one thing these dictator types really understand is self preservation.
The make $1B a year in heroine, fake cigs, fake C notes. The rest of their economy exports $1.7B.

I highly doubt bush had anything to do with it. My guess is Kim spent all thier money working on the bomb and now need to be bailed out.

W is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

Does anyone really believe we have heard the last of this guy?? This is just another shot at extorting money from us AGAIN. We will be going through this same exact thing within another 10 years.

Insert "if we leave Iraq now" here.

W is a dangerous incompetent fool. Damned? Could be.

China.
98% of all life support for N. Korea comes straight from Communist Mainland China. Food, oil, electricity, MONEY.
They let Kim Jong Il rattle sabres a lot to keep everybody on their toes, but unlike the islamofacsist terrorists of the middle east, they have no interest in being anihilated, and will not let him get TOO far afield in his rants.
Credit for reigning him in belongs to China.

correct.

awe, finally someone speaks the truth:D i'm with ya bro;)

[SmokinLowriderSS]

correct.
I can't possibly be correct. I am not currently deployed to either S Korea, or the sandbox, and especially since I do not sell insurance for a living.

Nope, because in 13 months I RETIRE from protecting this entire nation, for 20 1/2 years, and then, since I won't be ripping people off selling them insurance, I won't know a damned thing. :D

I doubt you'll retire "full time"...once a long term custodian of freedom always a custodian of freedom. You can't stop serving your country any more than Blown can stop hatin' the pope.

I'm sure it doesn't hurt that our Secretary of State has an IQ of 200 and knows as much about forgien relations (esp communist block) as anyone on the planet.

[centerhill condor]

She is smart and that is great but Sec of State really isn't about pure brains....it really is more about wheelin' and dealin'.
an Egyptian concrete mogul is pouring over $100million into DPRK and that says alot about what people think the "trend" is gonna be. Few things help a closed society better than new money!

She is credited with saving Stanford University from bankruptcy and she first gained notoriety after she more than held her own to Mikhail Gorbachev in a face to face confrontation, so I'd guess she can do a bit of the above....

Yep, one of the things N Korea is desperately short on, is hard currency, typical of non-oil-bearing communist/socialist dictatorships.
