The USA reputation is that we are a bunch of wimps that
won't take casualties. OBL has said so.

We need to "hit" somebody and then maybe IRAN and Syria will
take notice. Since most of our trouble in Iraq is coming
from Syria and Iran, not local Iraqi citizens, the only way
to win is to either fight a big war with those two terrorist
nations OR slap NK down with enough force that they will be
unable to fire on the RoC. We know that some shelling is OK
with the liberals because Hezba rockets into Israel don't
matter.

So we sink most of the NK Navy, destroy all their runways,
all their operational military airplanes, their ammo dumps
and power plants that supply military bases and nuclear
plants. That could all be done in a week-end with
conventional weapons. The RoC Army and AF are perfectly
capable of defending their border at the 38th.

Then we tell Iran and Syria to surrender, open their borders
and we win.

You aren't this naive in real life are you? Christians and Muslims have
been fighting in the middle east for millenia. You think we're going to
put that all to rest in a few weeks by bombing NK to smitherens? That
is too funny.
