"...obviously, if you are going to launch strikes at another nation, you better be prepared to not fire just one shot."

So, instead you should go in with a poorly planned (or justified, for that matter) invasion with no exit strategy, thats better? :D

At least N.Korea is contained.Too bad we couldn't say the same for Sadam's Iraq.

I would actually argue the opposite. Iraq was more contained under Saddam than North Korea was and is.

I thought Axe was being sarcastic there. Maybe he wasn't.

Hm. The stratgy is let it get in an open area, away from the Maritime and in our "Territory" and shoot the duck over open waters, away from any population or land. It is more likely the Navy's standby position is more than ready, as well the Air Force.

Our missile interceptors can take out those NK tests 1/2 the time with ease, but those danged Iraqi mobile weapons labs could still be ANYWHERE :eek:
