John Kerry implied last night that he wants the same fate for South Korea he once supported for South Vietnam.

Kerry: 'I want bilateral talks which put all of the issues, from the armistice of 1952, the economic issues, the human rights issues, the artillery disposal issues, the DMZ issues and the nuclear issues on the table."

In other words Kerry would be willing to end the armistice agreement with North Korea and allow North Korean troops to cross the DMZ in exchange for North Korea giving up nuclear weapons. I wonder if our South Korean allies will be willing to give up their freedom just so we won't have to worry about North Korean nuclear weapons.

You know, if that alone doesn't set off huge red warning flares to everyone in the country, then we need to be afraid - very afraid.

We have to keep slugging right up through election day - I have little faith in our electorate.

We voted Clinton and his co-President into office TWICE and if not for the grace of God and foresight of the founding fathers in creating the electoral college, we'd have been stuck with algore the day the spit hit the fan. Rolling Eyes

Keep pointing out these things - Kerry IS scary!!!!

When Kerry said he wanted BiLateral talks with the NK commies, as opposed to Bushs insistance on Multi-national, I said "oh yeah"! I realize most of the diehard Liberals will not remember the Carter/Klinton/NK fiasco, and if they do they wont care, but many "in the middle" will and this will affect their vote.

I cant believe Kerry was "if I can qoute the princess" so "stupid". He would actually cater to NK and the deranged midget, as Carter/Klinton did, which gave NK the few years they needed to finish their bomb. We already tried buy peace on the Korean peninsula and got screwed and Kerry was actually this dumb to even suggest trying to do it again? I think it was his biggest blunder of the night, to bad Bush didnt pounce.

Oh well, maybe next debate..............Rich

It never got much attention, but in 1968-69, there was plenty of activity by N Korea. We always knew something was up at the DMZ when K-2 Air Base scrambled and those F-4s went screaming over, usually at night. In March of '69 the N Koreans infiltrated 31 sappers at Pohang about 50 miles East of us. ROKs finally accounted for them by capturing one and sending the others to their ancestral glory. Kim Il Sung was in charge then. His son Kim Jong (mentally) Il is worse. Mr. Kerry could use a history lesson. The Armistice was in 1953 and we still have 35,000 troops deployed 50 years later. The N Korean regime is dangerous and unpredictable. Talk does not show them anything. The only thing they uderstand is a show overwhelming force. That's just the way it is.
