united is a douchbag!

they are nose and can suck clveage

to clear some things up

i think i should take the comment by dave michaels and clear some things up. spewing opinions from arrogance is not how you show your ideals to others. the reason north Korea is threatening us is because the U.N. lawfully and with good reason, prohibited north Korea from developing their nuclear program that was clearly being used to illegally build nuclear missiles. yes the Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq war didn't have anything to do with American freedom. but those wars were all because a harsh dictatorship invaded our allies with no regard for human life. yes we stepped in and it did shed our own blood, but it was for the greater good to better life to all, and that my friend, is worth anyone's life, even my own. also, the bases in other countries are all voluntary. we cant just go guns blazing and say were putting a base here. all bases are leased to America BY the country which it says " you can stay here if you pay for the expenses" to prove this, we had a base in the Philippines and when the lease ran out, the Philippines basically said " were not renewing your lease, get out" and we did. the reason for these bases like in Germany, was to create a NATO web of bases for mutual defense. which is so say if the soviet union attacked germany in the cold war, they would be attacking the United States and all countries of NATO. most people don't see that the acts of the U.S. aren't all just cause we feel like were better. but lots of Americans don't want to accept that thier wrong.

So much for patriotism!

What makes us such a super power is not our government, it's our people. It's a sad day when i see Americans bad mouthing Americans. I see both sides of the story whether it's we shouldn't be butting our nose into other countries business or coming to the aid of foreign countries. What kills me is that we're Americans regardless of what political mindset we're in and i think that we all forget that. It's kinda funny to me to see people talk about Military presence and action around the world yet have never been forward deployed and seen the good we actually do. They like to "arm-chair" analyze everything they see on the news when they have never been on the front lines. I think this world might be better off if we backed one another...it's kinda like family. Regardless if your brother is an idiot always getting into trouble he's still family and you should back his play. Instead of cursing the government and what we as a nation do wrong we should honor the ones who have died for our freedom because if you think about it, those that died, that you say died for nothing, joined and served our nations defense because they believed they were doing something good. Maybe those that curse the government should pick up a rifle and protect this nations assets! Put up or shut up, don't be immature and point the finger at someone when you yourself are to much of a coward to stand a post, Dave Michaels of IL.

United States Deserves a Beating!

All this country does is dictate to other countries how to be, "do it our way or else!". This country can have any military base in any country and no country is allowed to express resentment. Yet dare this country have a Chinese military base on U.S. soil. We won't allow it! This country gets involved in Foreign Affairs that do nothing for Americans. Nothing but a bunch of fat cats getting richer and destroying this country day by day. Jobs are being lost. Crime is rising. Our borders aren't protected. This country has engaged in problems in other countries that are not ours and spills American blood to prove a pathetic point... what? We're better then everybody else? Get real. United States is weak and every country knows this now. The Korean war had nothing to do with American Freedom or the Constitution. Neither did the VietNam war and neither did the war on Iraq! This country likes to bully and get involved in problems that are not ours.

The Commander in Chief and staff are weak

If the US gets in a tangle with N. Korea, the press will not be able to protect the President or isolate him from the big decisions that would ensue.

The main reason he got into the presidency is because he is a smooth talker that is able to lead a lot of ignorant people astray, that and Mcain was not able to stand up for himself.

The people who bled and died for this country would be ashamed of a president that says that the world problems are laid at the feet of the US.

North Korea

They have been building these weapons for decades and a "talk with them" is going to help?

U.S hand was too weak to start with..

Perhaps if the U.S had actually used its strength for a change, North Korea would see who it is really dealing with.

Cago Ship carrying war cargo to Mynamar

The best thing the US can do with this ship right now is try to have the Chineese Navy pull the ship over under UN rules. We are over their now talking with them on it. I don't think they would start war with China over this. This is our savest and best rought to go.

north korea

they need to take the president out he is more of a threat than sadaam ever was go in and take him out before anything goes down in hawaii take them out now not next 5 years.
