Speaker 1: Snarley and I were talking about the North Koreans and UH,
Speaker 1: in their their their tests. There's gonna be a sanction
Speaker 1: vote tomorrow. And once again, ladies in general, we have
Speaker 1: been shafted by the the Russians and the and the Chinese. Uh.
Speaker 1: The vote on sanctions is tomorrow. And fox Head breaking
Speaker 1: news story this morning saying that an arms embargo will
Speaker 1: not be added to U N resolutions. There will be
Speaker 1: no ban on where the nor comes can fly in
Speaker 1: the resolution. Uh. I mean this is really watered down
Speaker 1: stuff to be voted on tomorrow morning. Now, all of
Speaker 1: this is supposed to deter North Korea. All of this
Speaker 1: is supposed to deter Iran. Make no mistake about something
Speaker 1: on this. Uh. The Iranians are watching all this very carefully,
Speaker 1: just as they were watching the Israeli hes Bala war.
Speaker 1: Probably part of that one, just to check everybody's resolve.
Speaker 1: And I I didn't interview with Joel Rosenberg earlier this
Speaker 1: week for an upcoming issue of the Limboll Letter. And Joel,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's convinced that the chi coms and the
Speaker 1: norcoms have an alliance, but he really believes that the
Speaker 1: North Korea thing is uh something being sponsored by Iran
Speaker 1: to test everybody in the world's reaction to it. Uh,
Speaker 1: just to see if we have the will anymore to
Speaker 1: stop rogue regimes like this from acquiring nuclear weapons. Not
Speaker 1: appears that this little Kim Jong Il uh maybe pulling
Speaker 1: a Saddam Hussein doesn't have a weapon yet, trying to
Speaker 1: make everybody believe that he does. Uh. Saddam trying to
Speaker 1: be the big guy, the big anti American guy in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. And here's Uh, here's Kim John Ill
Speaker 1: who just wants some respect. And I've sick and tired
Speaker 1: of hearing democrats go on television to night. We just
Speaker 1: want some respect. If we just grab him some respects.
Speaker 1: Why should we have to grant these guys respect? What
Speaker 1: have they done to earn it? You've seen the satellite photo,
Speaker 1: haven't you. Rumsfeld showed this picture the other day at
Speaker 1: a press conference. Nighttime satellite picture shows lights blazing all
Speaker 1: over South Korea. In North Korea, it is entirely dark
Speaker 1: except for a little pin point of light where Kim
Speaker 1: Jong Ill lives in pyeong Yang. It is it is
Speaker 1: said that the lights in the North Korea have to
Speaker 1: go off at nine o'clock every night because they just
Speaker 1: don't have the electricity. They are backwards, stone age country.
Speaker 1: People journalists that have been over there and have been
Speaker 1: granted certain access say it is the most is the
Speaker 1: mind boggling thing to watch North Korea people go about
Speaker 1: their business. They walk looking at their shoes, They do
Speaker 1: not make eye contact with one another. They are robotic,
Speaker 1: they are afraid to stand out. They're they're definitely afraid
Speaker 1: of being shot, being killed, imprisoned or whatever for looking
Speaker 1: at something the wrong way. What in the world is
Speaker 1: it that engenders respect about this regime, particularly from liberals
Speaker 1: who I thought were so concerned about human rights in
Speaker 1: the Liberals ought to be leading the charge for reform
Speaker 1: of places like this and the Middle East, and once
Speaker 1: again they're exposed as the phonies and the hypocrites that
Speaker 1: they are. In a way, I can't help but think
Speaker 1: that this, this water down resolution is a little pathetic.
Speaker 1: We go to the u N. China and Russia delude
Speaker 1: our efforts, UH and we get nowhere, and yet we
Speaker 1: keep going there. We don't have to go there, and
Speaker 1: we ought to not go there, but we do because
Speaker 1: we've got to explore all the diplomatic options first before
Speaker 1: we do anything next. Um Now, my guess is that
Speaker 1: one of the reasons we might be willing to accept
Speaker 1: a watered down resolution is because the guy hasn't really
Speaker 1: blown up a nuke that he just you know, threw
Speaker 1: some essentially some sticks of nine, probably called the act
Speaker 1: mee dynamite come probably call it the same outfit that
Speaker 1: while e coyote calls and had a had a box
Speaker 1: of dynamite act mee dynamite shipped over there and or
Speaker 1: a couple and blew them up. Is nobody can find
Speaker 1: any traces of radioactivity. My guess is that behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: people sitting around saying that's really what a nuclear test
Speaker 1: and let's not overreact and so forth. But I think
Speaker 1: that's potentially a mistake.
