    “Amid expectations over President Barack Obama's comments on the Wikileaks scandal...” There isn't much to say about it, all is said and done.

    Guantánamo, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, what a way to spend your money!

    The day before North Korean attack on South Korean island, Mrs. Clinton said that the U.S. BLAH BLAH BLAH North Korea BLAH BLAH nuclear weapons BLAH BLAH BLAH http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20101129/pl_afp/nkoreaskoreamilitaryunus
    Are you planning to do the same as Mr Bush did in Iraq? Can't you do that? North Korea isn't Iraq, right? It's so strange that North Korea attacked South Korea first, for no reason-

    I believe Pyongyang's statements, and one things is for sure about Kim Jong-il, he is not Saddam Hussein. Obama is following Bush's footsteps and this will make him appear as the tool he really is. A weak man, not the thoughtful hero many people believed he was.

    “George W. Bush labeled North Korea part of an ”axis of evil“ and an ”outpost of tyranny“. So conveninent haha

    “Just as families and businesses around the nations are tightening their belts in this economy, so must the government,” said White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer.” Tighter Mr. Obama, tighter haha
