Could have been flight 007 all over again. The Lexus liberals here in South Korea really know how to manage the relationship.

I guess he hasn't heard of Dokdo yet. I liked the comment he made about Japan and South Korea being close allies. I guess he hasn’t heard of Dokdo yet.

It makes it much harder to blame Clinton for allowing that "threat" to grow during his tenure. After all, if there really is no threat to the US, or if that threat is being exaggerated, then how can Fox News talking heads lay all the blame at Slick Willie's doorstep for something that doesn't exist?

He spends several column inches sounding the klaxon regarding the threat posed by the NORKS, but then concludes by castigating the Bush administration for not demonstrating that such threat really exists: <blockquote>While not quite at the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction level, the Bush administration also needs to provide far more evidence there was a real threat and that it was not simply seeking publicity, and to distract attention from Iraq.</blockquote> Anyone who is as confused or has such an apparent political bias doesn't as Cordesman doesn't really derserve an audience.
