You know, I've always overestimated how smart Kim Jung Il is. I never thought he'd be dumb enough to threaten nuclear war. Now, I always knew he was dumb enough to threaten to build nukes, but to say that if you get hit with a pre-emptive strike, you're going to wage all out nuclear war? Well what does that tell the allies?

I'll tell you what it tells them, if you're going to hit first, ensure that it's a difinitive blow and N. Korea is unable to respond. How do you avoid getting hit with a nuke by a country that only has a dozen? you annihilate them, that's how.

Slick move, Il. Very slick.

It's one thing to be crazy, it's another to be stupid. You get nothing now.

For years he's used the threat to secure energy resources, finances and the like. Now he has no bargaining chip. For him to have a bargaining chip, he'd have to be willing to hit first, and who is he going to hit, and what does he expect to accomplish from it? It doesn't matter who he hits, the only thing he'll accomplish is the complete destruction of N. Korea. Way to back yourself right into a corner.
