| North Korea today confirmed it had carried out its third and most successful nuclear test yet which triggered an artificial earthquake near the underground explosion site. The test was an important step toward its goal of building a bomb small enough to be fitted on a missile that could reach United States. North Korea made clear that the explosion of its third atomic device--which it claimed was smaller than the ones in its previous two tests--was a warning to what it considers a ´hostile´ United States. Its actions drew immediate condemnation from Washington, London, the U.N. and others

Interesting. Why the aggressive schedule? Where is the money coming from for such expensive R&D?
Answer: Iran. My guess is that the North Koreans are in fact the contract R&D vendor for Iran, both for the nukes and the missiles. That explains why the Iranians just announced that they are "already a nuclear power". It also makes it impossible for the Israelis to stop them.
The red line for our survival has just been reached.

The U.S. should use this test, combined with recent propaganda video, as provocation enough to act unilaterally and nuke North Korean test sites. There will be protests and whining from all the pu$$ies for about a week and that will be it. Secretly many nations will be thankful. This policy should apply to Iran as well.

Democrat solution? Send Madeline Albright to present then Dear Leader with a basketball (instead of a sensible pantsuit makeover) and have Clinton hand over U.S. missile tech.
Then remember when all the marxist druids screeched and gave George W Bush verbal spankings for calling North Korea "The Axis of Evil"?

Will bet anyone any amount of $ that Obama does not deviate at all tonight from his proposals to cut military and missiles! This man´s basic flaw is his outlandish arrogance: he was a community organizer (who had to give back his law license, as did Michelle---anybody ever look into that?) who thinks he knows more about everything and anything than any of his experts, except perhaps the also unqualified Valerie Jarrett. As Hagel asaid "I won´t be making policy decisions in any case." Guess who will?

Truman should have listened to MacArthur when after the Chinese entered the Korean War, changing what was victory in sight into a stalemate at best. MacArthur called for the immediate nuclear bombing of Chinese cities to get them out of the war. Truman refused, then even fired MacArthur for being defiant. MacArthur responded, "There is no substitute for victory". How true that is.
Most rational past American presidents would have treated any nuclear "warnings" as a direct threat and would have responded proactively with a strong and decisive attack to lance the boil, especially Mr Reagan. Now thanks to Bill Clinton´s ill advised gift of a nuclear reactor to the DPRK, under the pretense of it being for generating nuclear energy, it has come back to haunt us: The world to the DPRK is now smaller and within range of attacks. Forget conventional only attack worries, Bubba gave them the gift that keeps on giving.
As DPRK capabilities increase, so will their threats. This is unacceptable. We can pay now or later. One day, when the DPRK have several ballistic missiles aimed at major American cities, they may very well try blackmail such as demand for immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all South Korean based US troops. Now or later?

Seems to me the forces of evil in this world are teaming up against us. Obama will enable them with his indifference and intention to gut the military. We are not invincible and nuclear bombs will take out our cities just as they would any others. They bad guys are just waiting for Obama to bring us to our knees.

When was the last time we conducted an underground nuclear test? How do we know that our aging arsenal is fully ready? Time to abrogate the test ban treaties. If PRNK and Iran achieve nuclear weapon capability, our only counter is to rebuild and expand our own as a credible "mutual assured destruction" deterrent.

Recapping and re-emphasizing several of the good points above:
a. The Norks are indeed a beard for A-jad and the Mad Mullahs re nukes and missiles b. China´s leaders are only interested in and supportive of the Norks if they: 1. continue to poke the US in the eye [surrogate role]; 2. don´t act against China; 3. keep their starving people from crossing into China. China´s just using the Norks, and isn´t their "friend." c. The Nork leaders are and have been nuts; paranoia, isolation, and reading their own propaganda contribute. d. the world´s hostile nations know, explicitly or intuitively, that Obama is damaging the US significantly and he wants to do so e. nations that are or want to be friendly toward the American people and the America of history also know, explicitly or intuitively, that Obama is neither trustworthy nor grateful for their support of America f. the day before the SOTU speech was chosen consciously: 1. in yo´ face, Stinky!; 2. foreign nations play our media and pols like Steinways and have for decades g. See the decades of fun you have when you back off from winning a war? h. a treaty creating "a nuclear-test-free world" works no better than laws creating "gun-free zones" j. almost all the resulting blood will be that of innocents [note: skip "i" and "o" in lists etc. to avoid confusion with numbers One and Zero]

Vietnam last 12 years, and we lost about 4,500 kids a year on average in that war, Korea lasted only a few years and we lost 23,000 a year on average. And that was when we were a strong, serious nation of people who gave a sample about world peace and freedom. Now, we are a nation of quivering children, who have elected a skinny, weasel of a man as our leader who has declared himself more concerned with school children and free healthcare than world peace or national security. We are nearly catatonic with fear over a one man terror show in Southern Cal. The Norks have our measure and they no longer have any fear of us what-so-ever. The Iranians also know we can´t even subdue a pitiful little rag of a nation in Afghanistan- what do they have to fear from us? the world looks to us and sees, we can no longer even afford to put fuel in our once mighty aircraft carriers. We are has-beens. Tyrants run rampant.

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

North Korea has loaded two intermediate-range missiles onto mobile launchers and hidden them in an unidentified facility near the east coast, South Korea´s Yonhap news agency has said. "It has been confirmed that North Korea, early this week, transported two Musudan mid-range missiles by train to the east coast and loaded them on vehicles equipped with launch pads," Yonhap quoted the official as saying.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

Mark Sanford won Tuesday’s GOP runoff over former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic, according to unofficial results. Sanford now faces five more weeks on the campaign trail before a May 7 showdown with Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, whose business background and moderate politics are expected to create a tight contest.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
