The blast from the torpedo was allegedly strong enough to blow the S.Korean ship in half but not strong enough to prevent it from remaining intact and marked with Korean letters, Six weeks to investigate with so much obvious evidence around? The remains are still intact and rusted after such a short period. Meanwhile the PM of Japan is forced to humiliate himself in Okinawa after being unable to remove an American military base-despite the wishes of the population and his pre-election promise to do so. What did the international community do when it was revealed that the US had nuclear weapons stored in Okinawa in violation of their treaties. Curious timing indeed. In the past any violation of N. Korean territorial waters was met with aggressive, overt actions. The Koreans are usually boastful and proud of their preceived military victories. Why would they deny responsibility at this time? The American foreign policy has not changed with Obama. Still attempting to manipulate people with fear. SOS Hillary warns of consequences for illegal military actions. Yet the world waits for consequences for the illegal invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan and the violation of Pakistan's territory to kill insurgents and a lot of innocent civilians. The so-called experts are the same that convinced public opinion that Iraq had WMDs. The UN was the organization that invaded the Korean peninsula under the direction of the US and Western client states. It was at the UN the Colin Powell made his impassioned and largely discredited case for Iraqi violations of NPT and UN sanctions. Of course Iran has to be punished because we believe that they intend to build nuclear weapons. Perhaps Israel, India and Pakistan might be a more pressing issue for non proliferation purposes. Then there is the tale of the little boy who cried wolf, apparently too many times to maintain credibility. After a history of lies, deceit and aggression, it is hard to believe anything that the United States has to say.
