Six minutes! Thousands of artilleries with no known positions." Nope. What do you think that satellite they've got is for? 20 years ago, scientists could find a dried up river under meters of sand in the Sahara desert with weather satellite. Just imagine what they can do with current satellite technology. “The last defense minister publicly announced that Korean air force can take out all enemy artilleries in less than six minutes.

They can carpet-shell Seoul anytime they want. Something to think about. The last defense minister publicly announced that Korean air force can take out all enemy artilleries in less than six minutes. Six minutes! Thousands of artilleries with no known positions. He must be smoking some strong stuff. What is more surprising is that Koreans believed him. Six minutes. I will commit a sepuku if SKs can stop the shelling in six days. The moderate projection is two weeks if the US airforce is still in Korea. Without the US Airforce, forget it. Forget about the war as well. NK wins.

The typical routine. It said that America is the main player for Korean defense. (So, I aided American 2nd division to move out of DMZ and now I am telling the US soldiers to go home). Rho finished his military service as a buck private. He never got any briefing on Korean defense plan. Yet, when he received the first report prepared by military experts, he just trashed it and pressed his ideology. What a pompous idiot! When NKs bomb Seoul in near future, he will finally realize, only too late, that the US Forces are necessary for Korean defense. Read the following article on how Rho feels about Korean defense,

Goguhn is the next Korean president. The evil duo put their stamps on this man. He will continue "sunshine policy"(grovel to KJI) and send billions to NK so that they can finish building intercontinental missiles. Koreans are just too stupid to know it now but next year they will be all for Goguhn, the front man for Korean Commies. Kim DaeJung fixed Korean politics so that only his people can get the presidency. Korean media, universities and community organizations are all run by Jolla Commies. The US should ban Korean goods as long as Korea supports NK by sending money to NKs. Koreans are Talebans. Get it through your heads. Goguhn is the next Korean president.

She has gained in ever-growing popularity despite her ideological backgrounds. She would get more votes than any other names on the surface.

And then all the same people will run anyway, albeit in parties with slightly different names and with slightly different conglomerations of supporters, rending all moot speculation un-moot. Actually, if the Democratic Party and Uri realign, we could at last actually see Jeolla-do voting for a choice of parties, instead of rallying 90% around one candidate, as usual. Which would be a good thing, imho.

The bigger problem is that Koreans don't seem to go for "moderates," so Goh might not generate enough momentum against demagogues like Park and Lee, and whoever the left throws up.

Don't forget that she's where she is in politics in part because of who her dad was. Park Jung Hee, after all, is still quite popular, inspite of the fact he was a dictator. If a reporter brings the question up, she'll simply answer with an appeal to nationalism, something along the line of, " Those were difficult times for our nation and my father did what he thought was necessary to develop South Korea into the powerful country that it is now." I may have been brainwashed by my feminist university professor of a mom, but I think it's time a woman runs this country because the men have been messing it up pretty bad. Besides, the election of a woman as president of South Korea would certainly be a momentous occasion. Baduk, I doubt Park Geun Hee will put on the spot with questions of her dad.
