Can a smart person please explain? Breaking News from Condi

Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 12:34 PM by Nimrod2005

Secretary of State Rice: North Korea missile launch would be a "very serious matter" and a "provocative act."

How does Korea making or testing a weapon is any of our business? Can all countries of the world throw a fit every time we test a gun? or a bomb?

1. Russia and China stepped all over their plans for Iran, so they

needed to go find someone else to threaten.

4. Are you sure? Bush is loony enough to attack Americans.

This administration obviously doesn't care about the consequences of their actions. They probably think attacking N. Korea would bolster Bush's poll numbers.

5. China will disabuse him of that notion......

......in a hurry.
Yea, Bush is looney, has visions of grandeur, thinks he's 'God's Tool' or whatever, but even he will not mess with North Korea.....

3. A truly smart person

would admit that this defies explanation.

Condi has simply stated the obvious.....did she continue with possible 'consequences'? That would require some interpretation.

11. From what I understood.....

....it's a long range missle which could reach the US ...among other Nations, I think. Japan seems to be a little ticked about it , too.
