Obama actually had the correct posture early on in his presidency regarding North Korea, which was to ignore the provocations and histrionics of the country and Kim Jong Il. However, he learned that being president is hawd! work, especially between vacations and golf, and his policy started to be all over the place, to the point where China has rebuffed him, and he has told the military to prepare for “N. Korean aggression”. I’ll give him credit, he is trying, but, like with Bush, there is no appeasing Kim Jong Il unless you give him stuff. That’s the game he plays. Where are all the people who slammed Bush for not resolving the situation now? Are they slamming Obama? Will they blame him for this?
North Korea vowed Saturday to respond with ”powerful nuclear deterrence” to joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises poised to begin this weekend, saying the drills amount to a provocation that would prompt ”retaliatory sacred war.”
North Korea routinely threatens war when South Korea and the U.S. hold joint military drills, which Pyongyang sees as a rehearsal for an attack on the communist North. The latest threat comes amid increased tensions on the divided peninsula over the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship that Seoul and Washington blame on Pyongyang.
Welcome to dealing with nutjobs, Mr. President! Actually, you should be used to this type of over the top unhinged “I’m going to cry and scream till you give me a unicorn” behavior, considering the state of your voter base.
