If Iraq really does wind all the way down, America will only have one war. What will we do with ourselves?! No worries.
Defying North Korean threats of violent retaliation and “brutal consequences beyond imagination,” South Korea on Monday staged live-fire artillery drills on an island shelled last month by the North.

Today we are all eating bulgogi and kimchi!
While I do fear the return of hostilities in Korea, the DPRK will never take it that far. For all their talk of crushing the South, they know too much of their army, having crossed the 37th parallel, would become enthralled by the plenty in the ROK & give up.
I recommend food bombs.
It wouldn't really be another war, since technically the Korean never ended.
The South will rise again!
Don't worry, once St. Sarah figures out whose side we're on she'll display some twitter diplomacy and tell the bad guys that (their there they're) fags and should STFU.
The US won't go to war in Korea unless someone tells Bachmann and company that there's "Al Qaeda" there.
Oh don't forget that they're part of the axis of evil, and as such must be invaded QED.
Or oil.
“brutal consequences beyond imagination,”
And thus news of the candidacy of Michelle Bachmann for Senate reaches the Korean peninsula.
On the other hand, why listen to the whining and crying of a fat deluded 26 year old sociopath wannabe? The generals in NK aren't stupid. They like to eat (unlike most of their fellow citizens) and would like to keep it that way. Fighting the RoK or US America with their nice fancy schmancy weaponry isn't going to help that.
Yeah but they also like to avoid having bullets put through their heads. Unless they're prepared to actually stage a coup, they might have to carry out the wishes of Dear Leader.
Shit! Korea gets to have a fat deluded 26 year old sociopath wannabe in charge and we got stuck with eight years of Dubya Bush.
It is always fun to travel to the Orient. Such a beautiful vacation spot. The DMZ is especially nice this time of year. Lots of nature, the kids are free to roam and romp about and the food, the experience is so much better than Disney.
This is just what we need now that DADT has been relegated to the dust bin. The repiggies will send every gay soldier they can hunt down to the aide of SK.
Actually, the DMZ in Korea is the world's largest zoo. All the animals that were there in the 1950's are still there and nobody fucks with them. And it's freezing ass cold there this time of year, too. (I spent some time there as a "game warden" in the 70's.)
Coldest I ever been was Osan, New Year's Eve 12/31/94. Not sure why I was there, since I was stationed in Okinawa at the time.
By contrast, my "game warden in the DMZ" phase was merely metaphorical.
I'm rooting for the South, birthplace of Seoul music.
This is Don Cornelius wishing you peace, love and Seoullllllll!
I'm a Seoul Man!
Korean wars are the shit, no one remembers MASH?
Oh sure, it's all fun and games until a major character in the war gets killed, and then the war gets all preachy and dramatic and loses its laugh track.
Do not underestimate the truculence of the Korean Military, North and South. These little motherfuckers are fierce warriors and would rather fight than fuck OR eat. We underestimate them at our peril.
They're the exact opposite of me!
I too, can be safely underestimated.
Having spent a year between the two of them, I can say you are absolutely correct in your assessment. I used to think sometimes that if war broke out again we wouldn't know if we wanted to jump in and help or just get out of the way and watch 65 million Koreans in hand-to-hand combat.
I would vote for the latter.
Oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
Everyone was…. shit Takwando doesn't fit… fighting.
It was fast as lightning.
/screw that/
Well, I come from a line of Krazy Korean soldiers and yes, you are correct. A few of them are even Korean Marines (the kraziest of the bunch.) Just don't fuck with a group of guys who can tear down a Viet Hamlet using their hands and feet.
All the Hyundais need to do is throw rice over the wall. The ensuing food riots should take down their retarded-midget-cousins.
I, for one, am looking forward to M*A*S*H: The 21st Century and Beyond
Fortunately, we don't really have to get all that involved if South Korea and North Korea go at it. The South Korean army is WAY more capable than the North Koreans, who couldn't even mobilize without running out of fuel and food in a week or so. We'd do two things: evacuate our troops to safer areas, and make sure the Chinese didn't get too freaked out as the South Koreans obliterated the obsolete North Korean army.
NORTH KOREA IS BEST KOREA
You know, my sympathies for the South are starting to grow thin. This kind of the exact definition of unnecessary provocation. Hell, just shoot into the other direction. The North still gets the point, and you're not provoking a mentally unstable nation into a fight.
