Does anyone else feel like this is a cartoon and Elmer Fund is drawing a line in the sand and Bugs Bunny keeps crossing it? “Provocative [...] serious consequences.” said Secretary Clinton.
Today North Korea launched it’s missile and put a satellite in to orbit. This means they can now hit anywhere on the planet and what is the “serious consequences“? A special meeting of the security council has been scheduled for later today.
OK, so meetings are her preference…What are her intentions? Apparently she is going to deliver a message that normalized relations is now going to be very hard to achieve. Is anyone still concerns that President Bush completed work on the missile defense program? At least now we have the chance to knock one of these things out of the sky.
I have no doubt Mrs Clinton feels she is doing the best for our nation. I applaud her effort, but how far is she willing to go: how many lines is she willing to draw in the sand? Will they act before or after the next attack on American soil?
Why didn’t we shoot this missile out of the sky? Over international waters we have the authority. The Satellite is more than likely flying over our country, why not take out the satellite? She said serious consequence. Would the demonstration of our abilities be a good deterrent?
God save America and all of the Free World! Please.

An update to the post. Apparently the satellite did not make it into orbit. However, it is obvious, that words don't work either. Remember all the talk about abandoning the six party talks and working directly with N.Korea? Now the plan is to continue pursuing the six party talks.
After a long session in the Security Council, the current plan for dealing with N.Korea's violation is…well…no conclusion. It appears China doesn't see the need to upset the balance. What happen to "serious consequences"? N. Korea just crossed the line in the sand and kicked a few grains into the eyes of all peace loving nations. What is the President's plan to respond? the associated Press reported Secretary Clinton was working the phones in advance of the Security Council meeting. Good thing this new administration is good talkers…
