Until then, their pre-emptive talk will ring hollow. Of course, who's to say a few USAF KC-135s might not accidentally refuel an F-2 strike package?

Roh is right on schedule in his plan to isolate the entire peninsula, to bring back the glory days of the Hermit Kingdom--when it was a shrimp amongst whales. I wish him luck as the last GI leaves.

I have also been saying the FTA was set up as a long running issue for Uri hopefuls and the party to regain favor among voters. And the USFK base environment issue is another drum that will be beaten heavily until next years presidential election. “i honestly think this administration is trying to deflect attention away from their own failings by blaming japan to incite nationalism”

It also deflects attention away from North Korea and its missile test.

I have also been saying the FTA was set up as a long running issue for Uri hopefuls and the party to regain favor among voters.
