Now, of course, that phone call is fantasy. But let us examine the idea that this North Korean test will help the president and by extension his party change the subject back to homeland security.

It was in January of 2002 that the president spoke these words: "North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens. … I will not wait on events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons. "

Eh, I skim through posts but if we do attack North Korea I'm sure that if we do attack NK someone will make a conspiracy that Bush had something to do with it.

If we are lucky, China will knock over North Korea just to stop NK's saber-rattling from deterring investment in the region at further. Nobody wants to invest in new factories and such, right next to a country that that is taunting the rest of the world for a nuclear smackdown. China however needs all the investment it can get, and has an army that could mow through in NK with relatively little trouble.

It's very funny that NK blames the Bush doctrine on their weapons escalation. "We need these weapons because we fear a pre-emptive attack from the US". Priceless.

I think Kim's on some really strong drugs here, lets look at this:
-Bush says we will pre-emptively attack countries arming themselves with WMD's.
-Kim thinks getting WMD's will prevent a pre-emptive assault on Korea

The whole statement is posturing and a load of BS
