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