Rice Flexes That UN Muscle
North Korea conducts underground nuclear tests and missile launches. President Obama condemns the actions and our United Nations ambassador says the NorKomms will “pay a price”. Those UN resolutions can be a bitch.
If North Korea’s leaders continue to act provocatively, “they’re going to find that they will pay a price, because the international community is very clear: This is not acceptable. It won’t be tolerated, and they won’t be intimidated,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told CNN Tuesday.
Rice said the United States would pursue within the U.N. Security Council a new resolution on North Korea, “a strong resolution with teeth.”
Oh, and by the way… North Korea has just test fired yet another missile today.
I’ll bet Kim Jung Il is puking up kimchi in fear of a U.N. resolution…!

“Very clear”? reminds me of what “Slick Willy” said about Saddam’s WMD program – “Our purpose is clear”..essentially to be all bark & no bite. I swear, the libs have never known how to win a war since WWII

I don’t know what’s more hilarious. A Security Council resolution with teeth or puking up kimchi. Geez, I bet that smarts coming back up.

Why, they even might go so far as to write a nasty letter…

Ooooohhh – a strong resolution with teeth!
My bet is that it will be a resolution on paper and the teeth (with emphasis on the fangs) will be drawn by a 7 yr old.

nicolas,
i disagree.
they weren’t libs in WWII.
they really were democrats then.

So, the question is: if LA, San Franciso, Portland, or Seattle experience “the mushroom” first hand, will the survivors vote for Obama in 2012?
May 26th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
lou – aren’t libs & democrats the same? my point is, the democrats haven’t won a war since WWII
May 26th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
@ Lazarus Long- no the survivors won’t vote for Obama but those that died will vote for Obama in 2012, ACORN will make sure of that!!

Machine, in order to go that far they would first have to strongly consider the possibility of convening a council session to debate whether or not to discuss the situation to address it a future meeting. I’d hate for them to rush to judgement.

Teeth, eh? Kim will probably say “Show me those teeth! Bite my a**!”
May 26th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Dentures probably.

Prediction: Republicans in 2012.
The adults will be asked to clean the children’s mess, yet again.
I wonder if Obama will have a Monicagate or possibly a mental breakdown following all, that, hard, work — it’s not easy being inept.

nicolas,
aren’t libs & democrats the same?
now they are.
imo, now there aren’t any democrats.
just libs.
but back then, there was a two party system.
my point is, the democrats haven’t won a war since WWII
that would be correct.
i may be making a pedantic argument. but what i am trying to hold onto is the memory of when democrats cared about the security and preservation of our culture. now the libs don’t give a damn.

chris,
true that.

Nick, the closest thing today are the Blue Dog Democrats. Fiscally conservative, and more moderate than their liberal counterparts.

I say that the Rooskies will tell ‘em to tone it down.
As Hitler had to tell Tojo to tone it down back in WWII.
It takes a bigger demon to control a demon.

Machine, I think the Rooskies are using Kim as a stalking horse to test Babmi. Just like Biden said would happen. Then they can determine how many divisions to use to take Georgia and start eyeing Ukraine.
Kim has basically declared war or said that the cease fire no longer is in place. Maybe a few B2’s might remind the dumb fuck he hasn’t a chance or a clue.
