Shock waves in Seoul as U.S. to shift 12,000 more troops to Iraq

SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to go out into the world, kids. Your nationalism pride will see you thru. Besides, what are you worried about? I thought the ultimate goal is reunification.
First the Pentagon told the ministry of national defense it plans to transfer a brigade of 3,600 troops from South Korea to Iraq this summer. Now, the Pentagon is telling South Korean officials it wants to scale back the number of U.S. troops in South Korea from 37,000 to 25,000. The news took the government here by surprise. A Blue House official, talking anonymously to South Korean reporters, barely masked the government’s concern: "The realignment should not undermine our national security."
So sorry, but we’ve got our own national security to think about.
In and out of the government, the realization has now dawned that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had been deadly serious when he spread the word during his visit here last November that the U.S. had a new concept of flexible defense.
$(%$%& A politician who actually means what he says! How, How, AMERICAN.
Kim Sung-Han, research professor at the Institute of Foreign Affairs and National Security, reflected the misgivings of the government when he remarked that the need for reinforcements in Iraq meant, "Talks on a reduction of troops have come earlier than expected."
Jesus H. Christ, are we supposed to stay for ANOTHER 50 years?
I still think it’s no coincidence that our unfinished business - externally Iraq and SK, internally Viet Nam is biting us in the ass at the same time, sort of like the Bermuda Triangle is on our posterior. Time to remove a corner.
Here’s an interesting blog I read on occasion.
