For land he hadn’t owned for three years… He (sort of) sold it to a company, then took an interest in the company - and disclosed none of it to Congress. Parliament of whores?

There’s been no confirmation that what North Korea tested were nukes. Not one. Moreover, every reliable source says NK doesn’t have the capability to fire such a nuke in a missile, assuming they had one.
So why all the hubbub, bub? People are acting like a rain of deadly nukes will be fired from Pyongyang by tomorrow at the very latest. Yeah, David did slay Goliath, but c’mon, North Korea poses no genuine military threat against the US.
Look, their leader may be a bit off, but I’m sure he grasps that any serious attack by them against the US means massive retailiation. This isn’t, um, rocket science.
Maybe he wants a deterrent - just like what the US and USSR did during the Cold War.
I bet you many Arabs are jealous of North Korea. A nuclear bomb can at least avert a foreign invasion or a war of “liberation.” And it can’t be used for purposes of domestic oppression.
I’d say the hundreds of nukes missing from the former USSR and environs pose a vastly greater threat than does little bitty North Korea. But it is election time, got to whip up some war fever.
The country doing the loudest shouting against North Korea is the very same (and only) country that has used nukes against a civilian population. Why is that?
And what might be the difference between the Republicans and Democrats on North Korea?
Update: LA Times, front page article, first sentence “Kim Jong Il is neither insane nor stupid.”

If Hastert resigns, it’ll be a signal the Republican Party is collapsing. If he doesn’t resign and keeps stonewalling, well, it’ll still be a disaster for them.
What’s still baffling is how badly Republicans have managed this. Their formerly massive and effective spin machine has malfunctioned to the point of being non-operational. They’ve lied about FoleyGate, then been caught in lies. They are alienating their once-firm base of the Religious Right, who are quite rightfully appalled that Congressional Republicans put a coverup before honesty and the safety of kids. Plus, they’re realizing the Republican elite has “pure contempt for evangelicals.”
It’s stunning how fast the Republican machine is self-destructing. As I’ve said before, there may well be much more happening behind the scenes than has been made public (so far.)
Why did Foley resign so fast? Why can’t they get their stories straight? What are they hiding?
