Obama pretends North Korea didn't really launch an ICBM?

I realize the NCAA basketball final 4 is engaging everyone's attention these days but in case you missed it North Korea launched an ICBM over the weekend. They're working feverishly on building a functional atomic bomb too. Rumor has it they tested one last year although nobody will say so on the record. An atomic bomb mated with a North Korean ICBM poses a very real threat to Hawaii and the west coast of the continental US. Kim Jong Il is not known for his bouts of sanity, he may very well decide to lob a missile our way just to see how we react.

Judging by how we reacted to his test firing he doesn't seem to have too much to worry about. I kept waiting to blog about this unmistakeable act of war hoping that President Training Pants would man up and do something decisive. He didn't. He's waiting for the UN to dot their I's and cross their T's on the latest draft of an official Sternly Worded Letter to be delivered to North Korea sometime before the next millenium. It will no doubt cause them to sit up and take notice. How could it not? It's from the UN! It contains vague threats of future, more forceful letters to be sent, maybe even the same week they nuke Seattle or Portland or Honolulu.

Quaking in their boots they are not. Besides, Barry has determined that even though they successfully launched a rocket capable of hitting our west coast North Korea did not achieve a "win". According to the striped pants set in his State Department North Korea is now "further isolated". Gee whiz. Do you think they know they're "isolated"? More importantly, do you think they care?

Instead of confronting North Korea with an ultimatum, Barry wowed the Europeans with his promise to phase out our nuclear arsenal. If we don't have any more bombs, his simplistic reasoning goes, nobody else will want to have them either. He can't really be that stupid, can he? Maybe he can; he does after all endorse gun control using much the same logic. Making guns illegal just has to reduce the availability of guns for use by criminals! They'll rush right out and turn in their guns for a handshake and a $5 Carls, Jr. voucher. We all know how well that's worked out so far.

We should be building bigger bombs. We should also be mass producing a whole new generation of tactical nuclear weapons and deploying them around the world. Iran (remember them?) is watching our non-response to the Norks with glee. They can't wait to join the nuclear club too. They don't care if we scuttle all of our bombs; they're going to get one for themselves and they're going to use it. Maybe Barry's crackerjack diplomatic team can get started on the letter they'll want to send after Iran nukes Tel Aviv. Why make them wait for our words of wisdom? We should get it written now. Some of us might not be around after Iran begins dropping bombs so it's even more important that we get down on paper just how really, really, really angry we are with them.

57 percent of the American public wants a military response sent to North Korea. So here's what we should do. Get that letter from the UN and send it via Special Delivery to Kim Jong Il using one of our ICBMs. Tape it to the nose cone so that fat little turd can try to read it before he's obliterated in a blaze of atomic glory. That's how you send a message even those whackjobs in Iran can understand.
