North Korea Warns Of Fire Shower of Nuclear Retaliation

North Korea condemned a recent U.S. pledge to provide nuclear defense of South Korea, saying Thursday that the move boosts its justification to have atomic bombs and invites a potential “fire shower of nuclear retaliation.”
The commentary in Pyongyang’s main Rodong Sinmun newspaper was the North’s latest reaction to last week’s summit between President Barack Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. The allies issued a joint statement committing the U.S. to defend the South with nuclear weapons.
It also came as an American destroyer trailed a North Korean ship suspected of shipping weapons in violation of a U.N. resolution punishing Pyongyang’s May 25 nuclear test, and as anticipation mounted that the North might test-fire short- or mid-range missiles in the coming days.
The North’s newspaper claimed that the “nuclear umbrella” commitment made it more likely for the U.S. to mount a nuclear attack on the communist North, and only “provides us with a stronger justification to have nuclear deterrent.”
What in heavens name are we waiting for? Anilate the little yellow men before theywipe us out.
How many threats are going to be made towards us before we do something about it? North Korea is insane and talks aren’t going to solve anything. The only thing they understand is action. Wipe them out before they wipe us out.
Why do we put up with little boys like the boy from North Korea. Enough is enough. If he wants war. lets show him how the pros to it and never let him forget it. He is only a thorn in our foot that we need to get rid of!
Sandra, are you saying we should do as we did in Hiroshima & Nagasaki? Whatever happened to ” Do unto others as we would have them do unto us??” Think about what you’re saying, girl!!
Have we ever really won a land war in Asia without using nuclear weapons?
