BREAKING NEWS: North Korea is firing on South Korea Island

They were South Korean Marines.

Nobody that matters wrote: I think he'll sit them down and have a very serious talk about the serious nature of their actions.

He'll expect an immediate apology.

Then he'll figure out how to use the situation to spend another couple o' billion dollars.

ugggh i think you are right. no matter what, time to throw money we don't have at the problem.

Is N. Korea's attack on S. Korea a test of Barry's lack of leadership in dealing with Foreign Policy? Has Barry emboldened our enemies?

I knew if you all could come up with a way to blame Obama you would jump at the chance.

N Korea has been on a power trip for years....this is exactly how wars start........(implied in that is.... rather than starting wars with countries that haven't attacked anyone, like Iraq). The problem becomes, where would we get the troops and equipment to even rattle a sabre over there? Bush committed them all to the middle east. That is one way to embolden a potential enemy.

Since Bush had 8 years to bring them to the table...and didn't... Hmmmmm.... Yep, must be Obama's fault...

And the chlamydia speaks rofllol

Bear in mind that the War in Korea has never officially been ended, only an Armistice was signed. There have been literally thousands of attacks of one kind of another since June of 1953.

Whether or not our Liberal friends will admit it, Obama's Foreign Policy has left a lot to be desired in maintaining our stance in the world as the superpower. We need not remind them that the intelligence that everyone in the world signed on to, including the Democrats, said that Saddam had WMDs. The past is the past, but Obama would rather apologize for the U.S.A than to do anything concerning foreign policy. Look at how long it took him to commit more troops to Afghanistan, the War that he said was his.

To this day, IMO, he is still campaigning, not governing.

Specifically, what about Obama's Foreign Policy is lacking?

Agreed.
I don’t think N Korea does much of anything without China’s tacit approval. There was a sinking of the S. Korean destroyer; shots across the border, Chinese sub missile launch 30 miles off the coast of California, the nuclear expansion news and now this attack. The Chinese are testing Obama, I hope he doesn’t capitulate.

A side note A long time ago I participated in war games on the Korean peninsula, alongside Korean Marines. They are tough bunch of SOBs, I’d be proud to have them on my side any day of the week. It has to be very very hard for them not to be retaliating.

Fact: Liberals are considered weak on the international scene. N. Korea knows Barry is a weak president. The world has lost respect for the once-super powerful, fierce, strong America. The White House has just released word that it "condemns" the attack by the N. Korea. I'm sure a serious response like that will frighten the hell out of them!
