Spying for the US versus Stupidity
August 7, 2009 - 19:57 ET by DoktorFrankenThe folks on the Pueblo were doing spying on a Communist country because that's what some of our military's job was at the time - gaining intelligence in order to better protect Americans. It was called a Cold War, not a Cool International Debate.
DPRK said that the Pueblo strayed into their territorial waters, but the US maintained that the vessel was in international waters when the incident occurred. Surrounded by many vessels, who threatened to blow the Pubeblo out of the water, the DPRK ships opened fire and subsequently killed two Pueblo crewmen, the Pueblo was boarded and the crew captured.
What were those (virtually unknown) women 'reporters' doing going into China and then North Korea? Who told them to go there? They are adults and should have known that the DPRK is not a nice place to be. The consequences are well known to most everyone that has heard of Lil' Kim. I am not sorry for not giving these apparently stupid Lefties any slack. I don't wish them harm I just wish they made better choices.
So are you willing to
August 7, 2009 - 20:11 ET by mister josephSo are you willing to uphold the laws of a crazed, paranoid dictator, rather than give a liberal a break?
I must admit, though, that in thinking about the potential outcomes, that ultimately nobody would be satisfied; stupid these girls were, yes. But should they suffer torture and death because of it? And yes, they are adults. But this isn't like, say, Michael Fay, who did something stupid and had consequences to face. These girls were political pawns by a country that has been waving its sword at us and increasingly challenging the US on a political and diplomatic level.
Mr. J
August 7, 2009 - 20:29 ET by DoktorFrankenI don't discount what you say about the stinky-awful DPRK. I just don't want to give those 'girls' the benefit of doubt. It is my choice. You can call me evil from here on out if that will make you feel better.
Keep in mind that I have, myself, paid for stupid mistakes. Some caused extreme physical and psychological pain. And you do not know torture until you have spent time with my ex-wife.
Interesting question. The
August 7, 2009 - 21:12 ET by SnappyInteresting question. The Laws of a crazed paranoid dictator or give a liberal a break.
For one thing they are adults, they should know what would happen if they strayed into NK and got caught. Paranoid and crazy he may be, it IS his country....no? Or maybe not? As we did go and get them they wont have to pay the penalty for their stupidity. Another example of the death of personal responsibilty in our country. At some point you have to stop forgiving stupid and the penalities come due.
Penalities in this case may be whatever we had to give to get. And we can be assured it wasnt just pride we lost.

I find the subject of this week's Captionfest OFFENSIVE AS HELL!
August 8, 2009 - 22:05 ET by R D HelmTo this point, I have been able to hold my tongue, but no more.
As far as I am concerned, William Jefferson Clinton is singularly and wholly responsible for the fact that the Norks now have not just nuclear weapons, but also the capability to deliver them to targets thousands of miles away from their hideous little runt country.
They also have the ability to sell said weapons to rogue nations the world over, such as Iran, thanks to the efforts of this ass-backward, incompetent boob of an idiot from Arkansas.
That worthless Nork gargoyle has sent thousands of North Koreans to not just never-ending imprisonment, but probably their deaths, just for looking askance at his oppressive, murderous regime.
As for Billy Jeff, this completely worthless Piece of Shit (yeah, I spelled it out, so shoot me) of a former POTUS should be riding a bench in a federal prison for dereliction, and most certainly should not be placed in a humorous environment as he is here, for any reason whatsoever.
Fuk Bill Clinton, along with the two people who brought him into this world, as well as the horse he rode in on.

Dave, I, too, have held my comments -
August 8, 2009 - 22:16 ET by Cape ConservativeI find it very uncomfortable to have to acknowledge that a former PRESIDENT of our country can be mocked and ridiculed (and rightly so) as has been exhibited by these many comments. I guess I wonder why...yet he has proven over and over again, that he has NO SHAME!
My best to you and your dad as he fights the last good fight...I like to remember Ronald Reagan's letter as he entered the twilight zone of Alzheimers. We should all be so gracious. Give him a hug for me (as you whisper SEMPER FI) and keep one for yourself. I have several friends in similar circumstances, guess it comes with the territory of getting older. God bless you both.
PS I hope you get a pass tonight...I know how truly frustrating it is when the subject matter hits home as this did with you and your loved one.

Dave-
August 8, 2009 - 22:47 ET by BKeyserYou've got my support- little as that may mean. I understand your frustration at the Clinton involvement in this debacle, and for that matter, anything having to do with US policy matters. And like your Dad, I too am a former Marine, not coincidentally choosing not to re-enlist in November 1992. They didn't- but had they asked, I would've told them why- I wouldn't serve under a man who loathed the military.
However, I think it's doubtful that this episode will lead to any significant change in the way that we, as a nation, are viewed around the world; and the same goes for NoK. The same arguments we made while Bush was President hold true today- much of the world dislikes us because we have, until recently, been the bastions of freedom that so many nations try desparately to restrict from their citizens. We are mocked, ridiculed and derided as stupid, selfish, capitalist pigs and always will, so long as we dominate the world militarily and monetarily. Mr. Can't-keep-it-in-his-pants isn't going to change anything. Hopefully, the current douchebag-in-charge (DIC) won't be able to either.
Semper Fi to your Dad, and I look forward to your future posts here at NB.

BK, I think we and NK will
August 8, 2009 - 22:50 ET by Radical1979BK, I think we and NK will be viewed differently after this. We will be thought of as weaker, and they as stronger. Since Obama's presidency we have acted as Chamberlain did before WWII and we will pay the price.
Lets hope not Rad
August 8, 2009 - 23:23 ET by BKeyserthough it is entirely possible. I'm just judging from the past- we had no weaker President than Carter, and thanks to the strength of Ronald Reagan, we overcame that with flying colors. I suspect that we won't suffer greatly with respect to the NoK situation singularly- most of the world knows the Kim agenda, and I'm sure, expected his tactics. However, how it will play out is still to be determined.

"... My now 82 yo father, a Marine and Korean War vet, who risked his life
in that all but forgotten war, and who is dying from Alzheimer's two
rooms away from me as I write this, deserves far better..."
God bless you and your Dad and please tell him from all of us,
Thanks.
