I hate the idea of more combat,However that fat baserd needs to be removed quickly. He has no power to speak of yet threatens everyone around him. Think they need to find out where he is and send a cruise missile special delivery.

He didn't have Chemical weapons
That's BS, one of my adult children aided in securing, transporting and the destruction of a large part Saddam chemical arsenal.

They can do sims.. we'll just do the real thing--if they act up. Kim is nuts..
The about-face of the supercarrier USS Carl Vinson and good portion of her escorts made huge news all last week as increasingly louder war drums were signaling a confrontation between the US and North Korea. By the time North Korea was parading ballistic missiles through its streets, and a missile test launch or nuclear weapons test was likely imminent, it was assumed the ships were closing in on the area, along with a contingent of Japanese warships they were supposed to meet up with. Now it appears this was not the case.
But I will still support the west and America over NK any day.

Up until shock and awe Saddam did nothing wrong, He complied to everything he was asked by the UN. He didn't have Chemical weapons and nor was he responsible for 9/11.

They're much more immediately dangerous to their neighbors in the region, and then they pretty much have to hope they can loot as they go because either they've been hoarding a ton of supplies against needing to supply an army or they have crap for provisions once they get in the field which is indicated by the annual famines.

Absolutely it should scare you. The US is about to square up with a nation who has nukes and by all accounts is willing to use them. Their conventional missiles are enough to inflict heavy casualties, and a usable nuclear weapons arsenal no matter how limited is pretty damn scary.
Adding a little more fuel to the fire the Carl Vinson is now heading north.. I doubt that's going to calm things down at all.
It's also worth noting that the Carl Vinson's group is being tailed by Russian and Chinese naval intelligence ships. It's also safe to assume everyone involved has submarines close by. The Chinese have made a sport out of embarrassing the United States with their stealthy submarine maneuvers, and the russians have a handful of Oscar II class built for the sole purpose of sinking US aircraft carriers.

What are you guys not understanding about this? DPRK have nukes.
Suggesting that we attack North Korea shows a lack of understanding that borders on imbecilic.
