South Korean military ship sinking has sunk – the ship patrols the Yellow Sea near the North / South Korea border. It isn’t clear yet which country (if any) might have attacked the ship.
Hope you 20 somethings who voted for Obama folllowed the law and registered for the draft.
So maybe this was what Biden was talking about with the comment about Obama being tested. Be interesting to see how he responds.
Quick, someone tell him the North Koreans are Republicans!
Or if you’re more conspiratorial – it’s to unify Americans around the President and forget that silly opposition to stuff like cap and trade and immigration “reform” – time of war, blah blah
You may be on to something here…… Gulf of Tonkin?
Or Pearl Harbor for the really intense conspiracy minded
John Batchelor came in on his night off to cover this Korean story – which might hint at what he thinks about its significance
Leading theory by Korea watchers – based on the lack of reaction of South Korea and the illogic for North Korea to attack at this time – is the South Korean ship probably hit one of its own mines…. or possibly one from North Korea that had broken loose and drifted south. The explosion apparently was to the bottom of the boat, not on the side, which suggests it wasn’t a torpoedo…. but until they get divers to the boat, we won’t know. About half of the crew also survived, which means there are lots of witnesses.
