North Korea Attacks South Korea

This is very disturbing news...what should the US do? What can we do? That's the problem - all our forces are spread thin in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we don't have money for our own infrastructure - what can we do? What should we do?

(I ask questions - I donlt know the answers!)

RUSH: Well, it's time, ladies and gentleman, time for Obama Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24, and that is, "Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of speeches." Yes, Obama has spoken up about North Korea firing on South Korea, and he has said that they have failed to live up to their obligations. That's really tough. That's right, he said North Korea's failed to live up to its obligations. I wonder if they bothered calling him at three a.m. (interruption) They called him at four a.m., and did he take the call? Did he wake up and say, (imitating Obama) "Okay, oh, okay," and go back to bed, or what did he do? Strongly condemned it. Yeah, that's right. The situation in North and South Korea is about to get out of hand and there's only one thing to do and that's a Cairo-type speech. Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of words, speeches, except in America, where ours is a world governed by the excessive use of gropes.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The Pentagon says it's too soon to say how the United States might deter a North Korean attack. Too soon to say? What have we been doing for the last 50 years in preparing for a potential attack on South Korea from North Korea? I'll tell you what else to keep a sharp eye out for, and that's the ChiComs making a move on Formosa, Taiwan. They want it back. You know, I've asked people, "Why do they care?" It's a tiny little island. There is absolutely no threat posed to the mainland by Taiwan. And ChiCom experts tell me it's a matter of face, saving face. The ChiComs are gonna get that island back regardless. It doesn't matter, it could be inconsequential, it's a matter of saving face, respect or what have you. And I'll tell you something else. My best guess is -- and of course I'm a pretty good best guesser -- my best guess is they're gonna do this, make a move on Formosa before Obama is out of office, and the way things are going Obama is gonna be out of office in a couple of years, hopefully, theoretically.

So here we're gonna do nothing, formulating our plans. Is Obama gonna do anything about it? Do you think Obama would do anything, even though we have a treaty, even though we have promised the Taiwanese, do you think Obama would actually do anything if the ChiComs make a move? Nah. That contrail of a jet, ha. No way. Folks, I'm telling you, I've thought about this, I've looked at all of the things, I've talked to experts, a jet contrail? No, that was a missile, and it was a message.
