...To do what? This is another exercise in one handed clapping, motion without any results.
North Korea launches a "communications satellite" that falls a couple of atmospheric layers short of orbit, but manages to cross over Japan. Do we go back to the six party talks, the only thing that North Korea even pretended to respond to over the last decade? No, Obama and Hillary roundly condemn the action, and promise to go to the United Nations.
To which China, in their Security Council catbird seat, has already objcted to the use of the rather benign word, "concern" over the missile launch.
And then Obama comes out the next day to announce defense cutbacks, with specific ones in missile defense. Isn't that sort of like sending invitations to a bar bash out to a neighbor whose parents died in a DWI crash the previous weekend?
That is not just assinine, it s downright dangerous. I do not use that word casually. I look around at the dangers we face as a nation, and I'm having trouble keeping this President off the list.
