I gave you a link, someone who only wants to attack me or the link and won't even take the time to do their own search is just disrupting the thread. Waste of time. |

OK, time to apply some logic and reasoning here. It has been reported by our own government that North Korea has successfully tested ballistic missiles. Does anybody doubt our governments reports? Secondly, the missiles are capable of carrying warheads. Third, it has been reported by our government that North Korea has continued to develop and test nuclear weapons. Fourth. A ballistic missile can travel from that region to here in under 30 minutes. Fifth, tests of our missile defenses have been spotty with many failures. Sixth, there are now large defense spending cuts due to the sequester process. Seventh, if a conservative media source posts that 1+1 = 2, this fact is correct. Eight, reporting concern that we doubt that Obama's statements are correct given points one through six are known quantities based on our own government reports. I have no problem debating or discussing the overall bias of media sources, but I will not do as some here have done, and suggest or outright label everything from a conservatives keyboard plus their information sources are lies, half truths, or misleading. To do so reflect more on the credibility of the accuser than the accused. Now I could be wrong or misinformed by what I read in government reports passed on by the media, but until proven so, I'll take them at face value===except this statement by Obama which seems to deny published reports. North Korea is currently in violation of the armistice and peace treaty, as they are now engaged in war games in Korea. It is probably time for China, Japan and other regional powers to deal with them. |

newt we asked for a link from a neutral source & you have not been able to provide one. If you provided an endorsement of hitler from Goebbels would we believe it? Give your head a shake. |

You're too lazy to look on your own? Do I have to give you a link to a search engine? You're doing nothing but trying to disrupt the thread because you can't deal with the article. |

The point here is that, given a link to an obviously biased right source and nothing else, we simply do not know if the highly biased right wing source is telling the truth or not. Pat, I am sure that if a highly biased right wing source published that 1 + 1 = 2, since other neutral and/or sources with left leaning biases would publish the same thing. That is why the Right wing source could be trusted. Otherwise, there should be no trust in the highly biased right wing sources being truthful. Many highly biased right wing sources and an equal number of highly biased left wing sources have consistently demonstrated a penchant to publish partial truths, half truths, and outright lies. That simply a fact. |

If the Right Wing Blog would link its assertions to authoritative sources as Left Wing blogs usually do, then I'd have no trouble accepting it. But of course, they almost never do. |

I can agree with that. I think the reason the right wing blogs do not link their assertions to credible sources is because those links often just do not exist. |

OK, so what exactly are you doubting, that Obama made no such statement? If you tell me, I'll try to track down the quote and source. Are you arguing against the points I posted, that I'm lying about the government reports posted in the media, or that they are lying? I need something to go on here. At least tell me what you disagree with, I admit I might be wrong or the sources I read or saw on TV were lying to me. I don't live in Korea nor am I an government analyst, like you guys, I depend on research. But again, maybe the research is flawed. |
