RICE: BULLY N KOREA BETTER WATCH OUT
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Yes, it’s time to turn our heads once again toward North Korea.
America has had its head turned in so many significant directions during the recent past, that it’s possible for a slip-off-the-charts modus operandi concerning a nation or two. But North Korea can’t be one of those slips.
It’s bullying, the press has stated. That’s what North Korea is up to with its recent test-fired missile. Bullying.
Then it’s time to recall Operation Iraqi Freedom’s three-week-win war when the planetary military plates were changed forever. Forever.
How soon the world can forget with the fast-paced events flurry that we have become used to. However, when it comes to the US military might, it’s wise for Iran and North Korea and China and the like to keep abreast of the American military acumen before going too far with bullying.
According to Bill Sammon of The Washington Times, Secretary of State Condeoleezza Rice put it to the North Korean’s this morning. It was a "blunt warning." She stated that America can "’deter whatever the North Koreans are up to.’"
North Korea is a country that is overloaded with military presence. They don’t have much of anything else, but they do have soldiers aplenty, all over the place — in the country, in the cities, visual presence maximum.
Holding forth with killer machines is what North Korea does best, produces the most and delights in offering up as a display card, particularly when intimidating democracies. North Korea’s government despises democracies. It has no time for a freedom spread such as the US President George W. Bush has sought to yield across the globe.
Therefore, all the more that the United States continue its staccato warnings to a destruction-oriented politic.
"’I don't think anyone is confused about the ability of the United States to deter -- both on behalf of itself and on behalf of its allies -- North Korean nuclear ambitions or gains on the peninsula. We have, after all, a very strong alliance with South Korea and a very strong alliance with Japan.
"’And, of course, the United States maintains significant -- and I want to underline significant --deterrent capability of all kinds in the Asia-Pacific region. So I don't think there should be any doubt about our ability to deter whatever the North Koreans are up to,’ Rice stated."
President Bush continues his echoing of Rice’s remarks with the nonproliferation conference taking place at the United Nations. In other words, pressure on North Korea won’t let up.
White House voice Scott McClellan went further by stating to press that North Korea needs "’to make a strategic decision to abandon their nuclear weapons program. The international community is speaking very clearly . . . and saying: "You're only going to further isolate yourself if you take steps that run contrary to what the international community expects. You will realize better relations if you pursue a course like Libya, and abandon your nuclear weapons programs."’"
The same goes for Iran, McClellan underlined.
With that, the free world waits for the proliferation assembly to give like imperatives so that the military despots get the message without doubt. It’s not enough for America to continue as front man for liberty nations, particularly disciplining the "bullies on the block." All democracies must step up to the threat, glare into the beady eyes of the military discontent, and warn them with hell’s fires.
