this world needs an enema.

hope you meant enemy.

An enema (plural enemata or enemas) is the procedure of introducing liquids into the rectum and colon via the anus.

No way do we need that!!!

Or N.Korea will make concessions for food aid as usual, and let the UN inspectors back in as they agreed today.

And that religious nonsense can finally be forgotten...... until the next lunar eclipse!!

"At the time of the end the king of the south shall keep pushing at him, and the king of the north shall suddenly come at him like a wirlwind" Book of Daniel.

Wow!! thats really crazy and worriful. You think that someone would bring this text from the bible to the souths attention even though the religion is probably different you would think that anybody no matter what religion would want to keep the world from ending.....I guess satan has almost taking most of the world. and keep thinking its nonsence and you will regret it but believe what you will

SEOUL, Dec. 20 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson met Monday with a ranking official of the communist country to deliver "a present" for leader Kim Jong-il.

A two-paragraph dispatch by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) suggested Richardson has failed to meet with the 68-year-old leader amid festering regional tensions.

how strange would that be if they strike tonight - on a once in a 500 year event - full lunar eclipse + winter solstice...

Wasn't that one of the things that was predicted? That the moon would turn red?

They wont even see it, it will be on the other side of the earth i think. Northeastern Asia will just be able to catch the end of it at sunset when the moon starts to come up. Itll be most visible in the Americas.
Maybe im wrong tho

Lunar eclipses aren't that rare actually. The moon would appears red during any total lunar eclipse, regardless of the day of year.

Well, I for one do not want war to kick off, so I am happy with this resolution although the drama in the Koreas is far from over. The further they can push back a war the better imo. Sights now back on Iran/Isreal/Lebanon.

Wars, Wars and rumors of wars.

I'm lost as to why anyone would think the lunar eclipse has any significance to the situation in Korea...

I can't help but wondering why the world still allows NK to exists. I understand the pawn game being played out, but their is very little difference between Nazi germany and NK. We should have left Iraq alone and made an example out of NK. Its not too late. We just get CNN to show all the horrible things going on there and FOX will pump the war and bam. Done deal. I have never pushed for a war but NK government needs to be removed... not now, but right now.

The US justification for these exercises is that it is South Korea's "right" to do so. But just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

Kim Jong is crazy enough without this kind of provocation. The US and SK have acted very irresponsibly here, not thinking about the lives they are endangering with their "games".

South Koreas justification for the artillery exercises is that they have been doing it monthly for 37 years.

At least that is what I heard on ABC radio this morning. Not saying it's true, just saying that they are saying that.

Anyone out there with a mil/air scanner? It would be very interesting to see if traffic has ramped up with ATC in the Pacific region.

I find the talk in the MSM of mass evacuations of foreign nationals rather alarming. If that starts I think that will be a very serious indicator that hostilities are a fore gone conclusion no matter the diplomatic noise.

As far as the moons go, many ways of looking at it. Many Asian belief systems are lunar in aspect, the best example being Tet and if we remember our history we know what happened forty plus years ago on that date. The Tet offensive is also a good example of a "come as you are" situation with total tactical and strategic surprise even though the lower level Int folk were getting signs. PRNK is a supposed "communist" state where such superstitions should not have any bearing on the affairs of state as was North Vietnam but of course old habits die hard.

Militarily the UN/ROK would prefer the dark of the moon as their NV gear is good while the north would probably like the full moon both for aviation and ground navigation lacking as they do with this equipment.

The problem is NK DOES have Weapons of Mass Destruction unlike Iraq did. That is what no-one is in a hurry to attack NK. Plus, even if they had no Nukes or chemical weapons, their artillery would kill over a million South Koreans within a week. Just look at the problems caused by them shelling a very under-populated island with ~200 shells. Multiply that by at least 5,000 and imagine that in a city as densely packed as New York or Tokyo.

There is just no quick way to neutralize all the conventional weaponry NK posess before they'd wipe out millions..

Bluetwo, do you think this still has the potential to erupt into open conflict? Does that seem more or less likely to you now after the North hesitated?
