gonna git you sucka

Condi, Condi, Condi... 

Were they showing Team America on the flight over?  Did you not get that it's satire?

"We are going to use the 'full range' of our military might, and let me underscore 'full range' to defend Japan."

Now why would you want to go and bait ol' Kimmie-poo, who has a brand new, shiny nuclear warhead and an itchy trigger finger?  You've just done a diplomatic pom-pom toss and declared an international "Bring It" to North Korea.

I wonder how the Japanese are feeling now that you've practically dared Kim Jong Il to swing his cajones. Maybe they're thinking they should have called the Australians...

And Kim Jong Il?  He's the bomb. 

I mean he's got the bomb.

He's a small man with a big (war) head.

As much as he loves the witty reparteé with his dear pals over in Washington, DC, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't more interested in playing with his new toys.  If you own a gun, you're going to pull the trigger just once...

And the 'full range' of the US's military might would by definition include...nuclear missles?  Now that's the way to discourage developing countries from pursuing nuclear weapons: drop a few on them.

Again, the Japanese must be skittish (if not outright offended) at all this thinly veiled nuclear chest-thumping.  Since the US never apologized for dropping the bomb on them, maybe they think we've forgotten about that little glitch in our shared history.  Maybe they worry we might miss.  Maybe they remember that somewhere right off the coast out there, Godzilla is probably just waking up from a long nuclear winter's nap...

So Condi, Condaleeza, Miss Rice--whoever you are--please, please, please, for the sake of us who'd prefer not to glow in the dark, think before you speak.
