North Korea, facing international sanction for this week's nuclear test, threatened on Wednesday to attack the South after Seoul joined a U.S.-led initiative to check vessels suspected of carrying equipment for weapons of mass destruction.

The threat comes after South Korean media reported earlier that Pyongyang had restarted a plant that makes weapons-grade plutonium.

"Any hostile act against our peaceful vessels including search and seizure will be considered an unpardonable infringement on our sovereignty and we will immediately respond with a powerful military strike," the spokesman for the North's army was quoted as saying by the official KCNA news agency

It looks like things around Korea could get bad very quickly. Do you think this is just hot air from NKorea or would they actually attack SKorea if SKorea does end up searching a NKorea vessel?

What would this mean for the US? If SKorea was attacked by NKorea and the US responded could we handle a war in Korea along with Iraq and Afghan?

Another world leader with too much testosterone. How wonderful.

I simply cannot see NKorea committing suicide by attacking SKorea.

Go along with the checks I say, it would be suicide for them even if they were serious. Hell, China, even CHINA is fed up with them. I think it would help them more if the NK would just get out.

No, we would be forced to concede both Koreas to the Chinese just to stop the violence and gain some measure of stability in the region.

More grandstanding from NK, tell me is anyone willing to really bet money on NK attacking? After I have spent 3 years on the peninsula from 1999 to 2002 I am willing to take that bet.

Any takers on NK actually attacking?

It won't happen but taking any bets for real money.
 
Kim Joong Il is a gangster who is very hungry and sick now. He only want to eat. Because he can not eat foods anylonger so the world should feed him by his bombs or fake money.

He just masturbation himself.
 
Set us up the bomb.

Make your time.
 
They should go ahead and inspect the ships.

NK is continuing to call the U.S.' bluff on everything, now it's our time to call theirs.

If they bomb SK, then god help them.

Somebody should remind Kim Jong Ill that his country can be reduced to dust if he doesn't shut the **** up.

What exactly would that accomplish?
Really if that was to happen how do you think the world would react.

Does it matter?

I just think Kim Jong ********er needs a taste of his own medicine.

We've been testing nukes and ICBM's for decades...are you sure he's not giving us a taste of our own medicine...now that he is armed with nukes.

It's not exactly like Bush honored any treaties that we had with them.
What incentive did they have to follow the rules?

If you look back at Clinton's agreement . . . .we kinda of did not keep our end of the bargain.

That said, getting nukes is not an acceptable reaction to the US's failure to abide to its side of the agreement.

South Korea yesterday agreed to join the Proliferation Security Initiative, or PSI, set up to locate and seize shipments of equipment and materials used to make weapons of mass destruction.

“What they are saying is that they will take military action if there is any action taken on behalf of the program such as boarding their ships, stopping and searching and so on,” said Han Sung Joo, a former South Korean foreign minister.
In other words, if South Korea first uses force to board ships then North Korea will take military action to defend those ships. Now, do you think that is threatening force or simply North Korea asserting that it will defend its interests if it is compelled to? If South Korea did attempt to inspect North Korean ships then:
“The Korean People’s Army will not be bound to the Armistice Agreement any longer,” the official Korean Central News Agency said in a statement today. Any attempt to inspect North Korean vessels will be countered with “prompt and strong military strikes.”
And speaking of threatening: South Korea dispatched a warship to its maritime border and is prepared to deploy aircraft, Yonhap News reported, citing military officials it didn’t identify.

If anything, this is a pretty appropriate response.
 
No one has any right to check No Korean ships. The world is full of busybodies who should mind their own damn business.
 
We have 40,000 troops on Korea. 39,999 should start shooting and one could take pitcures for us all to see.
 
Nothing of the sort will happen. Kim Jong Il will not risk being fully attacked and losing his power. He knows if he makes a move he will be dethroned.

I didn't see the word "force" in there by anyone but you. Looks to me like they said "as boarding their ships, stopping and searching and so on" so just stopping the vessel would be enough cause.

Lil kim and lil shrub should get together and wave their dicks at each other some more. Both are nothing but loudmouth bullies. If ANY country should have been invaded and it's leader overthrown it is NK but lil shrub only had the nutsack to attack defenseless Saddam.

Thanks for another mess you left the democrats to clean up! :2wave:

I don't know what you think, but I'm pretty sure that since the DPRK is saying that searching these ships would be an act of war, that they won't consent to them being searched.

What are you whining about now?

WOW. :rofl

Biased debating always comes to this. You really should just go back to your boyfriend :rofl and whine to him.

We have better things to do than listen to you bitch.

North Korea just wants more attention to show they're as big a threat as Iran. DRNK won't do anything because they can't. Too many countries would love a chance to invade them. Except Pacifist Obama of course. :2razz:

Also, defenseless Saddam? :rofl oh i know that HAD to be a joke. Any oppressor is not defenseless. He just couldn't defend himself against the United States.
