North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map as Washington and its allies watched for signs the regime will launch a series of missiles in the coming days.
Off China's coast, a U.S. destroyer was tailing a North Korean ship suspected of transporting illicit weapons to Myanmar in what could be the first test of U.N. sanctions passed to punish the nation for an underground nuclear test last month.
The Kang Nam left the North Korean port of Nampo a week ago with the USS John S. McCain close behind. The ship, accused of transporting banned goods in the past, is believed bound for Myanmar, according to South Korean and U.S. officials.
The new U.N. Security Council resolution requires member states to seek permission to inspect suspicious cargo. North Korea has said it would consider interception a declaration of war and on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking to provoke another Korean War.
"If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all," the official Korean Central News Agency said.

After 3 Kamikazes using only US Commercial airliners toppled the WTC, killed almost 3,000 people, inflicted centi-billions in damage and effectively closed US Capital markets for a week I take these threats a little more seriously, especially from a nuclear armed country no matter how big or small.

North Korea state media has been blaming the U.S. (for everything) and threatening it for decades. If you're interested in the subject, check out the documentary "State of Mind," in which two (either BBC or CBC) documentarians got into the country to follow the lives of two young girls as they trained for the state games. It's incredible--ostensibly, the film is about the two atheletes, but its subject is really life in NK--bizarre in ways that are difficult to imagine until you see it. At one point, the power and the lights go off in one of the family's apartments--they immediately (and with utter seriousness) blame Americans directly for the outage.

Not to worry, "the administration" will issue a letter to the opposing party. "The administration" will let the opposing party know that they should not use such harsh language because it is not nice as it sounds kind of "cowboy-ish" and then "the administration" will ensure that the opposing party knows that the real reason they are mad at us is because of BOOOOOOOSH. :whistle:

until you can confirm a hijack, it's just an off course airliner.
for all the control towers know, the airliner's radio is down, and has serious control problems. That does happen.
the only way you can fire on the airliners is if you:
a. know they are hijacked
b. know they intend to hit a building
c. get presidential approval to fire

and they pretty much as a party went treasonous.
you seem to want to rewrite history.
the FACTS:
bush wanted to take action.
the democrats said "you need congress approval"
Bush said "fine. Give me a resolution today, before the election"
the democrats put on their hawk outfits, to deceive voters. they gave Bush what he wanted
election came and went
Democrats took off their hawk outfits, and went right back to being the treasonous scum they always were, and constantly whining about Iraq, and about Bush going in.

But now a cold stark reality stares in on your misguided world view.
And the worse thing about it, the person who was elected to calm the windy world seas,
doesn't have a clue what to do.
Ouch. That one was right in the solar plexis.

they supported it BEFORE an election.
afterward, they wanted to disown their vote-
and they pretty much as a party went treasonous.
you seem to want to rewrite history.
the FACTS:
bush wanted to take action.
the democrats said "you need congress approval"
Bush said "fine. Give me a resolution today, before the election"
the democrats put on their hawk outfits, to deceive voters. they gave Bush what he wanted
election came and went
Democrats took off their hawk outfits, and went right back to being the treasonous scum they always were, and constantly whining about Iraq, and about Bush going in.
put that in your liberal pipe and smoke it.
Oh.
So they did support IRaq?
But you said they would NEVER support invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 like Iran.
Which is it?
If your brilliant man Bush could bambozzle them into Iraq (as you suggested he did) why couldn't he fool them into invading IRan as well?

Another unanswerable question:
On 9/11 at what point would you have ordered the USAF to fire on off course and fully loaded US Commercial airliners?
Every morning I would have all of them shot down.
Also...I would overreact to each and every threat that is put on my desk.
That way...Michael Moore would love me and not make a stupid movie about it.

they didn't support the iraq invasion-- they supported getting VOTES.
you just don't want to admit that the sole reason the dems voted for the Iraq war, was because it was right before mid term elections.
the democrat scum went right back to their treasonous ways right after the election.

North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map as Washington and its allies watched for signs the regime will launch a series of missiles in the coming days.
Off China's coast, a U.S. destroyer was tailing a North Korean ship suspected of transporting illicit weapons to Myanmar in what could be the first test of U.N. sanctions passed to punish the nation for an underground nuclear test last month.
The Kang Nam left the North Korean port of Nampo a week ago with the USS John S. McCain close behind. The ship, accused of transporting banned goods in the past, is believed bound for Myanmar, according to South Korean and U.S. officials.
The new U.N. Security Council resolution requires member states to seek permission to inspect suspicious cargo. North Korea has said it would consider interception a declaration of war and on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking to provoke another Korean War.
"If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all," the official Korean Central News Agency said.

no, I got it right.
the democrats opposed action in Iraq, from the beginning.
they wanted Bush to get congressional approval
So Bush said "fine. give me a vote, before the election"
and instantly the democrats became hawks. imagine that.
and they stayed hawks until the election was over-
they went right back to undermining the war and trashing our troops.

they only gave Bush his vote because it was political suicide to not do so, right before an election

NK got nukes under Bush 43, FYI
North Korea sent Scud missiles to Iran in the late 1980s and early 1990s. But from the mid-1990s, under pressure from Washington, Pyongyang was believed to have stopped shipments of whole missiles and limited its assistance to supplying parts and expertise to help build weapons in Iran.
If the U.S. and Asian officials are correct, North Korea has restarted exports to Iran of complete weapons. The SS-N-6-based missiles also represent a technological leap from earlier Iranian and North Korean arms, with a propulsion system capable of lofting heavier loads over longer distances, U.S. officials say.
North Korean technicians are stationed in Iran to help Tehran build missiles, and the two countries share data gleaned from test launches, U.S. officials say.

They absolutely can and they are.
It is called hypocracy.
Democratics live and die by it.
For example: hero Obama
Please do us all a favor....look up the definition of hypocrite...look up the quotes from the democratics (during the Clinton presidency, during the lead up to the invasion of Iraq and post invasion)...then apply what you just learned about what a hypocrite is.
It should be fun as well as enlightening.

That's all well and good, but if you accept the notion that the dems voted for stupid stuff, then argued against it, how can you make the case that they wouldn't have voted for some different stupid thing - like invading Iran?
Which is how this particular argument started.
Spincah suggested there is no way Bush could have taken care of IRan correctly because the weak kneed dems would have stymied him....
I am simply pointing out that they weak kneed dems some how supported an equally stupid idea - invading Iraq - so why should we think they wouldn't be up for a two-fer?

Although the October 1994 agreed framework with North Korea over its nuclear facilities mitigated the immediate nuclear threat, Pyongyang still possesses an unnecessarily large conventional force, as well as militarily significant chemical weapons and the means to deliver them.
Proliferation,particularly the broad-based nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and missile programs North Korea has implemented, poses a significant chal-lenge to U.S. security interests as well as to those of our allies and friends.
In the event of another war on the Korean Peninsula, these weapons present a significant threat to our forces and the security of our allies.
Should a conflict occur, North Korea likely will try to consolidate and control strategic areas of South Korea by striking quickly and attempting to destroy allied defenses before the United States can provide adequate reinforcements.
Pyongyang hopes to do this with its large conventional force and its chemical weapons and ballistic missiles complement.
From the DoD report"Proliferation: Threat and Response,"released April 1996
Iran first acquired Scud-B ballistic missiles from Libya and North Korea and used them during the Iran-Iraq war. Later it received Scud-B and Scud-C missiles from North Korea, and CSS-8 missiles and other material from China.
Iran fired nearly 100 Scud-B missiles at Iraq from 1985 to 1988. As was the case with chemical weapons,Iran's motivation to improve and expand its ballistic missile force results from the war with Iraq, during which Iran could not respond adequately to Iraqi missile attackson Iranian cities.
Iran has a two-track ballistic missile program. In addition to acquiring Scud missiles and missile-related equipment from North Korea, it also seeks to establish its own missile production capability.
Its production program is planned for both liquid-fueled and solid-propellant missiles.As part of the process, Iran has already begun assembling missiles using foreign-made components, and eventually it may produce these components domestically. Further, it is actively attempting to acquire other assistance and missile-related technology from a variety of foreign sources for its goal of producing a medium range ballistic missile.
With its current inventory of missiles, Iran can strike targets in neighboring countries, including oil installations and ports in Saudi Arabia. With a longer-range missile, such as the North Korean Nodong,it would be able to strike targets in Israeland in most of Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Iran has Chinese land-based and shipborne anti-ship cruise missiles and Russian air-to-surface missiles, and it has experience in employing some of them in combat conditions.
During the Iran-Iraq war, for example, Iran fired at least 10 coastal-based Chinese missiles at Kuwait,one hitting a U.S.-flagged oil tanker.
Iran will continue to rely on China as its cruise missile supplier. In addition, Iran has artillery and aircraft that can deliver chemical and biological agents and Russian-made Su-24 fighter-bombers that could deliver nuclear weapons.
