They're obviously not buying into the US's "We want a peaceful resolution" bull**** and have learned that when Bush starts talking about your country, the US Armed Forces are probably already moving towards your ****.

When North Koreans evacuate to underground facilities, they should make sure that they take the portraits, plaster busts and bronze statues of Kim and his parents so that they can “protect” them in a special room, the guidelines say.

I love North Korea.

[Tiara]

Ugh.

[Moonsword]

I have to agree that Bush could very well go after them, but personally, I think he's more likely to go after Iran.

[Unknown Target]

Woohoo! Another war! *does the worldwide domination boogy*

[Tiara]

Iraq is going to look like a glorified sandbox if this is gonna happen...

[Taristin]

Nucular. It's pronounced Nucular...

[Jetmech Jr.]

Kyunghyang did not clarify where it acquired the document classified as “top secret.”

...why am I feeling doubtful about this whole thing?

[an0n]

Because you didn't consider that naming the source would get their informant killed?

And from the looks of it, the US Army Reserves are being prepared for active duty. So I'd say Iran is pretty much ****ed.

[Rictor]

Uhm, no.

Iran would make Iraq look like a day at the beach. North Korea would make Iraq look like a day at the beach, while sipping expensive wine in the presence of the Swedish bikini team, who have decided to sunbathe sans clothing.

The US military is overstretches as it is. Without a full blown draft, and probably even with one, no one's getting invaded unless its like, Haiti or something, and a half-dozen recruits can do the job.

[MatthewPapa]

I seriously doubt there will be another war without a draft.

[an0n]

Like I said - they're preparing for a draft.

[IceFire]

Well then...if things really suck now...they are going to really really suck later.

The US, as powerful as it is, would be utterly insane to try and start a new conflict.  Iraq is far too volatile...if they move on and divert resources elsewhere then the place is going to fall apart.  Its going to take years to get out of Iraq.  The optimist in me ways saying that the next four years would see Bush split his time between Iraq and the homeland.

[an0n]

The pessimist in my says they'll pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan to destabilize the region and tie up UN, NATO and Arab forces while they butt**** Iran.

[Gank]

Nobodys going to get invaded. Especially not north korea.

And if there is a draft troops will be sent to Iraq, not Iran or NK. Very simple reason for this, starts with o ends with l.

[aldo_14]

Iran has oil, though...they're probably just waiting till they can complete converting the USS Nimitz into an oil tanker.

[dan87uk]

i live in the UK, the T.A. here is desperatly drafting in reserves here at the moment and we've rushed ahead our new aircraft carrier production.....jus a coincidence? or...?

[Rictor]

didn't Iran just sign a very, very lucrative oil deal with China? Something like $70 billion over x years?

With that sort of investment, you can be damn sure that China would protect it any way it can. They have enough political/economic influence to *****-slap the US should they try to invade, which as I said won't happen cause at least 200,000 or so NEW troops would be needed to invade and occupy Iran, probably more.

TA being...?
Even in the highly, highly unlikely chance that the US doe try to start some ****, I very much doubt that the UK would be on board for it. Now of course you know your own politics better than I do, but even Blair wouldn't sign on for another war, especially given that public sentiment for the existing war, and general displeasure (or at least thats the way I see it) with Blair's role as the empire's lackey.

[Unknown Target]

The UK wouldn't go for it, and the US would not go to war. You'd get so much flak, Congress would go bonkers, you'd never get it through./

[Rictor]

with a Republican majority? oh yeah, they'de be real adverserial...right.

Bush could pretty much ask for a 100-meter tall gold statue to Fred Flinstone that doubles as a nuclear silo and congress would give it to him.
