North Korea claims U.S. planning imminent "pre-emptive nuclear war"

Pissing contest indeed.

What the hell good does it do launching an ICBM towards Asia from the West Coast? Idiots.

All that does is add grist to Kim Jong Il's mill so he can point and say "see, I told you they are preparing for war!"

Or maybe we are still on the Keynesian Acid Trip from Hell where there are too many guys coming home in handbaskets from the Middle East, so public opinion is utterly against any further engagement there because too many of their sons and daughters have lost their limbs and their lives for no fucken reason, yet war is a wonderful way of keeping the military-industrial complex going.

So we'll pull out of Iraq and eventually have to concede that we fucked up in Afghanistan too (all those old Soviets must be laughing their asses off at us). But we need another theatre of war.

Keep on producing weapons, keep on using weapons, keep on spending government money on weapons - keeping people in work, and keeping more people in the army than on the welfare lines...

Or am I just confusing real life with 1984?
