Will we wnd up back in Korea fighting?

I hope not, last thing we need right now. Scary as this situation has developed since the attack on SK a few days ago.

YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea ? North Korea warned Friday that planned U.S.-South Korean military drills are pushing the peninsula to the brink of war as a senior U.S. military commander toured an island devastated this week by a North Korean artillery barrage.

North Korea's state news agency said drills this weekend involving South Korean forces and a U.S. nuclear powered supercarrier in waters south of Tuesday's skirmish between the rival Koreas are a reckless plan by "trigger-happy elements" and that the maneuvers target the North.

"The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war," the dispatch from the Korean Central News Agency said. "Gone are the days when verbal warnings are served only."

North Korea's army and people are "now greatly enraged" and "getting fully ready to give a shower of dreadful fire," the agency said. "Escalated confrontation would lead to a war, and he who is fond of playing with fire is bound to perish."

The comments came as Gen. Walter Sharp, the U.S. military commander in South Korea, paid a visit to the island targeted by the North Korean attack to show solidarity with ally Seoul.

Sharp, dressed in a heavy camouflage jacket and army fatigues and wearing a black beret, walked down a heavily damaged street strewn with debris from buildings. Around him were charred bicycles and shattered bottles of soju, a kind of Korean alcoholic drink.

NK is all bluff.

NK is all bluff.

We found that in the fifties...we also found that China is another story. They might be the only group to control NK. I seem to recall a story from a few years back about the South being tired of the US troops in their country. We also have been in Afganistian as long as the Russians , seems as if we will never learn.

Looking at pictures I saw recently of NK's defense setup via Google Earth is odd. They still have a lot of Korean War era planes ready to go at anytime.

Guy doesn't live in the real world. Another note, a shipping company "misplaced" a shipment for Knoxville. Just caught part of the story on WQUT, shipped from Minn, Mich- somewhere up north, but it was some radioactive material to be used in quality control at the company that bought the stuff. Said it was in a metal cylinder weighing about 20-25 pounds. Wonder what else gets lost in shipping that wouldn't be worth mentioning?
