More of the General

So Clark is on again, this time about North Korea. As he starts off ... he sides with the idiots that say we need to "engage" (whatever that means) 'make-me' Il directly. So I'm sort of standing back wondering ... why would he take such a stupid position? Even the ex-Clintonestas are split ... with the Albright morons clucking about following their disasterous path and others (I think mostly ex-defense) calling for direct attacks, even on the ground.

Well ... of course, Clark was a part of the negotiation group that put together that disasterous agreement with the little dog eating terrorist. Well, now ... how interesting is that? So I guess ol' Wesley is feeling pretty damned stupid at this point, after all he got totally duped by a deranged little tin-horn terrorist. Most normal people would say "screw those guys" after they lie like that ... but not a wannabe liberal ... nope ... you put your head up your ass (well ... OK ... as a liberal you just leave it there) and do the same thing over again.

Once a liar ...

There is something I just don't get ... and I am not sure I ever will. I mean ... how the hell does anybody stand there a say that we need to negotiate with this guy ever again? I mean maybe if you have a gun at his head, but otherwise what? Reagan had the "trust but verify" ... I would not even afford this tyrant that ... "you are a lying sack of manure so your word ain't worth the ink it is printed with".

So what, exactly, do you negotiate against? I could promise you the world, knowing that I don't have a nickel to give you. What is more fascinating ... is that Make-Me Il has CREATED his only bargaining chip (since N. Korea is a complete cesspool now) ... that is his only bargaining chip is the fact that he throws these fits and starts lobbing missiles all over the place.


Random musings

- Regardless of whether you believe the conspiracy theories about China and Russia or not ... the cruise missile approach adds one additional advantage to the discussion ... it denies our enemies any additional information about how well our missile defense systems work. They already know our cruise missiles work, so blowing up their missiles during setup shows our other enemies nothing that they do not already know.

- So, given their clueless thought processes ... do you think you could walk up to Clark's or Albright's house, start lobbing fake grenades, and demand concessions unless they agree to meet with you? Would you end up in jail or at the table with Clark?

Yet ... somehow going into discussions (exactly what Il wants) gets him what he wants. Very strange.
