S. Korea Confirrms last months attack was a N Korea torpedo!

President Lee’s government appears to be struggling to find an appropriate response that would demonstrate its resolve in the face of aggression but stop short of a costly and unpredictable war. “Military intelligence has made the report to the Blue House [the presidential office] and to the Defence Ministry immediately after the sinking of the Cheonan that it is clearly the work of North Korea’s military,” a military source told Yonhap. “North Korean submarines are all armed with heavy torpedoes with 200kg [441lb] warheads. It is the military intelligence’s assessment that the North attacked with a heavy torpedo.”

So the president of South Korea knows the truth now but seems afraid to acknowledge it? Why? Sounds like someones strings are being pulled from high above.

Text “No one wants to say it out loud,” wrote Song Ho Keun, a professor at Seoul National University in the Joong-Ang Ilbo newspaper. “We told ourselves to be patient and cool, not to jump to conclusions as there is no definitive evidence implicating the North. But if we find one little piece of evidence pointing definitely at North Korea, the rage we have forcibly suppressed will gush forth.”

Another sign of the time if you ask me. The road ahead looks bumpy for the entire world.

Any of us whom followed the story knew what happened.

The blast was external AND on the lower hull.

Therefore only underwater Mines and Torpedoes are viable explanations.

Due to the fact the South Koreans have good Sonar systems, it is highly unlikely that they ran into a mine field.

So the Torpedo option is pretty much the only legit one, given the facts about the story are true.

If the facts about the story are not true, well than, it doesn't really matter now does it.

Personally, I think that that flock of birds the S. Koreans fired at has just swooped by and all in unison took a dump onto the ship - sinking it with so much weight!

The birds were carrier pigeons that belonged to N. Korea, and boy did they send a message!

It's a good thing south korea isn't responding with more violence, why would anyone want a war besides the dictator of north korea?
