So much for talking with terrorists. Barack Obama’s defense department has ordered the USS John McCain to intercept a North Korean warship named “Kang Nam” suspected of carrying weapons of mass destruction. The threat of an Obama War comes one day after North Korea is reportedly ready to fire a missile at Hawaii. See the video and photos below.
USS John S. McCain versus Kang Nam: Obama War?
The USS John S. McCain is an Aegis guided missile destroyer in the US Navy, Arleigh Burke class (Flight I), named after the father and grandfather of Senator John McCain, John S. McCain, Jr. and John S. McCain, Sr. They were both 4-star Admirals and decorated war heroes like the Senator. The ship’s port is Yokosuka Naval Base in Yokosuka Japan. This is the same ship that collided with a Chinese submarine on June 11th, 2009.
One hopes that world realities are beginning to sink in with this White House, where it was once hoped that youthful exuberance would substitute for learned diplomacy. Not so fast.
The reality is that bad guys in the world want to stir up trouble to pacify their own populations. They need bogeymen like the United States of America to serve as foils for their own problems. The recipe is used in all totalitarian states from Iran to North Korea. They don’t want to “talk” with Barack Obama. They want a weak-kneed president who let’s them get away with hostility.
Many analysts watched in alarm during the election season when Barack Obama proposed talking without preconditions with dictatorial regimes. Such a proposal can only come from an extreme moral relativist, one who puts his own democratic country on an even playing field with the darkest nations on earth. It ignores the reality of our superior position and influence, and the motivations of our enemies.
So the navy destroyer USS John McCain is steaming toward destiny with the Kang Nam, a North Korean ship, on the precipice of an Obama War, a date with destiny that would have been avoided with a stronger, consistent message from the United States. Godspeed to the brave men aboard. May they be wiser than their commander in chief.

“The threat of an Obama War comes one day after North Korea is reportedly ready to fire a missile at Hawaii.”
Security experts have already stated that N. Korea doe not have that capability. That is rhetoric and propaganda used by FAUX News and you’re regurgitating it.
A better story than yours - that is laden with flag waving drivel; “So the navy destroyer USS John McCain is steaming toward destiny with the Kang Nam, a North Korean ship, on the precipice of an Obama War, a date with destiny that would have been avoided with a stronger, consistent message from the United States. Godspeed to the brave men aboard.” You forgot about Russia and China. Anyway, a somewhat better story is here:
With its ship Kang Nam, North Korea tests UN’s resolve (June 19, 2009)
“The North Korean ship the US is monitoring in the Pacific Ocean offers a vexing first test of how far the international community can go to prevent the North from shipping nuclear materials, even as it works under a UN resolution that some say lacks teeth.”
–
“Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged during a Pentagon briefing Thursday that the US faces a tricky situation with North Korea, but offered no details about the Kang Nam or what the US was prepared to do.”
As usual. Posturing and rhetoric with no plan once they’ve opened their big fat mouths. Perhaps paying attention to your own country is what is needed as it falls in the economic abyss.

The best thing to do would be to sink the thing, and then say,”As you assure us the ship was doing no wrong it got sunk for doing absolutely nothing”–now send out a ship that IS doing something and see what we do to it.–the they respect only those they fear.
