N. Korea launches rocket

If you say so. There's a big difference from a missile that can go, what was it? 1200 miles, vs. one that can hit anywhere on the earth.

Sorry I didn't specify the difference before. I didn't know you would be ignorant of the difference.

I must have missed where you posted the difference....

please explain again what the difference is.

ftr, the missile had an approximate range of 6700 km which equals approx 4200 miles.

Dude, when you try to weasel out of like this, it makes you look so much worse than admitting you were wrong in the first place.

You do this everytime someone nails you for something stupid you say here.

"But, but, but..."

Man up, admit you ed up and drive on.

What about a ing nuclear test they did in 2006?

In my book nuclear test > satellite launch

Our opinions differ. Not weaseling out of anything.

How did I up? By not caring about either launch? By understanding that the two have different ranges? By thinking from a strategic point, that the different range can have different results?

Ain't nowhere in this did you say all about any degree of difference in the ranges. It also doesn't take into account their supposed (I tend to doubt that they actually had an atomic detonation) atomic test, either.

Its irrelevant to your point, and you ing well know it.

"The president is a liberal pussy, there wouldn't be any way that they would do that with a REAL man in the White House like the two Republican alternatives."

The implication was clear, you can't take it back, and we all saw it.

Quit acting like a and admit it.

You're wrong. Man up and admit it. Sheesh.

I don't think they would've pressed the issue

He got America's ass beat by a bunch of back-alley militia men with lunch boxes and dynamite. Ain't nobody scared of pussy ass republicans at this point.

How do you figure America got it's ass beat?

They would have done the exact same thing. Bush or McCain's response would have been the same.

Pretty much.

Our policy on such things is remarkably stable between administrations.

Personally, I would absolutely LOVE for us to pull out of the Korean penninsula altogether.

It is a huge waste of resources. The North Koreans ceased being relevant to our interests about a decade ago. Let them have their hermit kingdom, and make them a problem for China to deal with, rather than a convenient buffer.

I think the japanese people are still holding great hatred against us but they just hind it in their mind, the us would be their first target to with if they got that power. russia/china use N.K. as the fence of their houses while the us also treats the japan just as a pawn to prevent them from expanding their affaction to the Pacific Ocean. I think us would rather to let N.K. have nuclear weapon than japan, though japan is a very "loyal" ally with us.

politics is more complicated than whatever we can imagine so the politicians consist of only the smartest people, espeically the international politics. Hillary Cliton is obviously not capable enough to work as SOS, that's why I have been ranting that Obama should have given this job to Halle Berry who is the smartest woman of the world.

The generation of japanese and americans that hated each other are all pretty much dead. We have one of the closes alliances of any two nations nowadays.

...that was always my assumption, but it was assumed nonetheless.
