It won't be a long protracted war, we know who the enemy is and we don't have to pussyfoot around with any religious and ethical crap.
I kinda admire the NK swagger and stupidity.
They don't hide behind the population, we know where they are and I can bet that 1 million NKA regulars would love to see the head AH get wiped off the face of the earth.
DONE.
And how many times has that little twerp threatened us?

A conventional war with the DPRK would not last very long. At best, they operate equipment whose hayday was in the 1960's. There is, however, a LOT of it. If they could achieve strategic surprise and successfully deploy their large 'special forces' units, they could make a mess of things for a day or two.
But they have nothing that could even come close to matching what happens to them when SK, Japanese and US airpower gets involved.
The 'war' part of a conflict with the DPRK is the 'easy' part to deal with. How Russia and China react is a complicating factor... Add to that the massive humanitarian crisis that happens after the DPRK's government is gone. THAT would be the expensive and complicated part.
All IMHO, of course.
With thousands of artillery pieces in the mountains north of Seoul, it would be a bloodbath. Our best tools for dealing with them are all in mothballs (I remember well Dad telling me about the New Jersey turning hill 368 into hill 320), and there are some things which require large amount of explosive delivered in a penetrating package at a high arc. Precision is alot, but it ain't everything.
Conventional war on the Korean Peninsula would be damned ugly. There would be two humanitarian crises, the first being the massive amount of civilian casualties in Seoul and the surrounding areas, the second being integration with the North and South after the war was over.
China holds Kim's leash, so it's not going to happen. We get into a war with Korea, China backs the North, and the US simply voids all China's bond holdings as a result of their support of the north.
Russia, at that point, would be sitting on the sidelines laughing, as China is their enemy in more ways than one.
A 2000lb JDAM makes a rather large mess. Or, a MLRS firing platoon, talking to a FIREFINDER MI unit, with a FBCB2.... A conventional artillery battery might get 6 rounds down range before the rain comes. You know, all those 'video game' gadgets we have. The reason why western militaries outclass potential opponents in every way... Even though 'we' are almost always heavily outnumbered.Quote:

He won't be writing any checks, he's an institution in MA. (assuming you're referring to Sen Kerry's yacht)
Here's an interesting angle on that one..........if he's claiming he's mooring the yacht in RI, which would arguably make him a resident there, is he eligible to be the Senator from Massachusetts?

They might if it got them a full plate at the dinner table .Quote:

This is from a couple years ago- but it's too good not to post. North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il is the best golfer in the world, hands down. On his first ever trip to the golf course, he shot 38-under par, including 5 hole-in-ones! This is reported by the government controlled media. He routinely shoots 3 or 4 hole-in-ones every time out.
Their is only one course in North Korea and it plays to about 7,700 yards, making Jong-il's feat even more impressive. 38-under par on a course longer than almost any in the US = NOT BAD!
Just for fun- it is also important to note that the N. Korean media also reports that Jong-il bowled a perfect game-300, on his first time out bowling!
At about 5'3" and wearing that crazy jump suit of his, this is all very impressive.

There once was a senator from Nantucket.
When it came to taxes he said, "Forget it".
He just cannot be trusted
for non-paid taxes he was busted.
And the payment? no, he won't buck it......
:confused:
Clap clap clap clap !!!! Well done Richard...I luv it :pQuote:

When you walk into the polling place, you have to declare a party in order to get the correct ballot. (This is only for the primary, of course. General elections you get all the names, and don't have to declare.) Anyway, that R or D gets hooked up with your name. Then the Party feels it can inundate you with robocalls, mailings, all manner of junk from now to the end of time.
There are only two people for whom I want to vote, and of course, one is R, the other is D. One woman is running for the State Senate; the other is running for County Commissioner. Not a single gubernatorial candidate appeals to me, nor do any of the candidates for Congress.
Douglas has a similar problem - not wanting to be labeled - and where are the Libertarians?
:( :( :( :(
Wow Grace... That is a late date for a primary. Ours was in April. I actually registered as a "R" for the first time in years because there was guberantorial candidate I really liked. He lost. :( So, it will most likely be business as usual in PA. But on the bight side, they had a box on the form for "do not bug me" and so far, so good.
It would be on the state Libertarian party to organize a primary. Get on your local's to make it happen.
Any other states have primary's this late?
Far back as I can remember, the primary has always been in August.Quote:

Well, maybe if he was FROM Nantucket ... but of course he was born in Brookline, has offices in Boston, Fall River and Springfield, MA - as well as Washington, DC. Boneheaded, sure - from Nantucket, no. Ask any Nantucket native - "Summer folks" are not real Nantucket people.Quote:

Just think, Sen. Kerry was almost our President!
New York's primary is in September. The primary in 2001 was Sept. 11.
Well, finished my poem, actually it a limerick, my first.:D
There once was a guy named puck
who went for a ride in his truck
got hopelessly stuck in the mire & muck
and missed bringing home a big buck
Just no luck, poor, poor puck :(
I want my royalties.

The senator could "park" in Nantucket.
When it came to taxes he said, "Forget it".
He just cannot be trusted
for non-paid taxes he was busted.

Btw?
My prez ditched the 100th anniversary Jamoboree for the Boy Scouts to go hang with the hens from The View.
Brilliant !!!! Clap clap clap clap. :pQuote:

-----Lesson from an actual scientific experiment
Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go
to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold
water. After a while, another monkey makes the attempt with same result,
all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs.
To his shock, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and
attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new
one.
The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.
Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth,
then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is
attacked.
Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not
permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating
of the newest monkey. After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of
the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water.
Nevertheless, No monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the
banana.
Why not?
Because as far as they know that is the way it has always been done around
here.
And that, my fellow monkeys, is how politicians operate....
THEREFORE, WE HAVE TO GET RID OF ALL THE INCUMBENT MONKEYS SO THERE WILL BE A NEW APPROACH TO GETTING THE BANANA'S :D
Cliff notes please?

Amen.
