well, before i make my point, let's do some simple math here:::take 4/12/2013 & subtract 4/5/2009 from it & you should end up with::::7 days/4 years or, for you not-so-swift people, 4 years & 7 days. the math ties into this: 4 years & 7 days ago, obama gave a speech in prague just after north korea tested a rocket after warning them not to---this is an excerpt from that speech & at the end of it, a link to the whole speech as released by the whitehouse..............."But we go forward with no illusions. Some countries will break the rules. That's why we need a structure in place that ensures when any nation does, they will face consequences.
Just this morning, we were reminded again of why we need a new and more rigorous approach to address this threat. North Korea broke the rules once again by testing a rocket that could be used for long range missiles. This provocation underscores the need for action –- not just this afternoon at the U.N. Security Council, but in our determination to prevent the spread of these weapons.
Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished. Words must mean something. The world must stand together to prevent the spread of these weapons. Now is the time for a strong international response -- (applause) -- now is the time for a strong international response, and North Korea must know that the path to security and respect will never come through threats and illegal weapons. All nations must come together to build a stronger, global regime. And that's why we must stand shoulder to shoulder to pressure the North Koreans to change course."
after all the blustering, posturing, sanctions & global agreement, north korea is defying us once again & all we do is talk....4 year & 7 days later our gov't is now saying that north korea may be able to mount a nuke on a missile...all i want to ask is: who allowed it to get to this point? &, the answer is; obama.
