Someone gassed between 350 and 1,400 people in Syria, depending on which liar fits into your political agenda; however, North Korea can starve tens of thousands, many of them children, and the international community with its organizers are painfully silent.
Kim Jung-un battles no one but his own people: Assad is in a desperate battle against those who want to destroy the West and kill our troops, the same people our president considers the chosen people, the Islamic Fundamentalists. For them, we will depose allies and unleash the awesome firepower of the United States military. Our president will move mountains and postpone golf games to aid beleaguered fanatics, it has become the destiny of the United States to help establish Islamic Fundamentalism throughout the Middle East, regardless of what the citizens want and with extreme prejudice and persecution against indigenous Christian and Jewish citizens.
To our omnipotent president, the Jew and Christian living in the wrong country is an impediment to the development of Islamic Fascism and insignificant compared to the greater glory of Islamic Fundamentalism. They become like the North Korean prisoners, impediments to the advancement of a totalitarian state, ruled by a dictator who rules with complete control, much like the Islamic Fascists, when they gain control.
Up to 20,000 North Korean prison camp inmates have ‘disappeared’ says human rights group
Thousands of North Korean inmates of Camp No 22, one of Kim Jong-un’s most brutal labour camps, have disappeared according to a human rights group.There are fears that up to 20,000 may have been allowed to die of disease or starvation in the run-up to the closure of the camp at the end of last year.
The suspicion has emerged from a newly-released report by the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) detailing the situation in penal colonies as Kim Jong-un consolidated his power after taking over as leader from his father, Kim Jong-il who died in 2011. Now the group that is demanding an inquiry into their fate.
The Washington-based organisation gleans information from defectors from the North, including former guards and the occasional survivor of a prison camp, as well as examining satellite imagery.
It focused much of its attention on Camp 22, a vast compound that sprawled across more than 770 square miles, making it larger than London.
The report, North Korea’s Hidden Gulag: Interpreting Reports of Changes in the Prison Camps, reveals that two camps have been shut down in the last year but that 130,000 individuals are still being held in penal labour colonies across the country.
“Through this vast system of unlawful imprisonment, the North Korean regime isolates, banishes, punishes and executes those suspected of being disloyal to the regime,” the report states.
“They are deemed ‘wrong-thinkers’, ‘wrong-doers’, or those who have acquired ‘wrong-knowledge’ or have engaged in ‘wrong-associations’.”
At Camp No. 22, in North Hamyong Province, in the far north-east of the country, the prison population shrank dramatically in the months before its closure, probably in December 2012.
Reports suggest that a severe food shortage meant that little was passed on to inmates and that numbers dwindled rapidly from 30,000 to 3,000.Very few North Koreans who have managed to escape from prison camps and to freedom outside the country’s borders, but those who have tell of terrible suffering.
Inmates – who can be imprisoned for life, along with three generations of their families, for anything deemed to be critical of the regime – are forced to survive by eating frogs, rats and picking corn kernels our of animal waste.
Activists say that as many as 40 percent of inmates die of malnutrition, while others succumb to disease, sexual violence, torture, abuse by the guards or are worked to death. Men, women and children are required to work for up to 16 hours a day in dangerous conditions, often in mines or logging camps.
Anyone sent to a North Korean labour camp is unlikely to ever leave again, analysts say, while a failed attempt to escape brings execution.
A recent report by South Korea’s National Human Rights Commission suggests that the majority of inmates were caught attempting to flee the country in search of food or work, instead of being incarcerated for their political beliefs. Others were detained after being overheard praising South Korea.
The actions of the international community, and especially our president, in regard to this ongoing atrocity, reflects flagrant racism and prejudice. Its true President Obama like to pick and choose the laws he wants to enforce, but we are dealing with human life and suffering or perhaps these people are insignificant to the great reformer.

The liars in the Oval Office & W.H. may not have eaten Benghazi, but they are going to eat their lies on Syria.
O. is a practiced liar and hypocrite, and nothing he claims can be trusted, . . . about anything.
Syria is like a physically violent domestic dispute where two psychotic, abusive parents are fighting over who will get the kids and who will have to pay child support.
The only sane thing to do is try to help sneak the kids away from the two lunatics, while they are going for each others throat.
Sec Defense Hagel in front of the Senate committee:
“I just returned from Asia, where I had a very serious and long conversation with South Korea’s defense minister about the threat that North Korea’s stockpile of chemical weapons presents to them.”
Yet in Feb of 2013 Obama believed that we could make radical reductions in our nuclear weapons arsenal—and save a lot of money—without compromising American security in the second term.
He thought he could reach “an informal agreement” with Russia’s Putin.
In other words Obama thought he only needed nukes to fend of Russia.
How’d THAT work?
Kim Jong Un became head of NK and all that went out the window!
The day before Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Kim Jong Un tested a nuke of his own.
OOPS!
And poor Hagel.
He got Obama’s attention by writing his ”Global Zero” report advocating unilateral reduction of the U.S. nuclear deterrent!
Now we’re stuck with both of these losers!
Kim just had his own ex-girlfriend machine gunned to death.
Think he’ll play nice with us?
I think it’s pretty obvious that this is a means of Obama simply getting Assad.
That’s the goal.
The pres. is a muslim terrorist, when will you people wake up. I found 45 newspaper articles in which he had created a “red line” for Syria. Now according to the pres and the denoc”rats” this line never existed.
Pres needs to be impeached. The G20, the US is going to lose globally in this meeting.
The Arab/muslim world has been mobilized to support Syria-this is a death trap for the US military.
By 2025, the US will be a speck in world politics, India, Russia, and China will rule the norther hemisphere and a good portion, 70% , of the global economy.
We loose they win-simplicity at its finest. This piece of trash and the congress and IC for the last 6 years has buried this country so deep, one can not see the edges of the hole anymore.
Good article Skook! Let me summarize what I have read about our ‘Dear Leader’:
1. From his own writings “If the political winds shift in an ugly direction, I stand with the muslims”.
2. None of his travel, birth, educational, Social Security, etc. records are available to scrutinize.
3. There is strong evidence his education was financed with Saudi money.
4. His first foreign trip included a visit to the Saudi king where he bowed in obesience.
5. The Saudi’s are sunni muslims, the Iranians and Syrian are shia. They hate each other.
6. Obama encourages and abets the ouster of two leaders who were defacto allies.
7. Obama wants to arm the rebels who are opposing Assad who is shia.
8. Every Obama incursion into the rift between muslims has been on the side of the sunnis.
Can anyone else see the handwriting on the wall? Obama is an enemy of the citizens of the US. We don’t need to impeach him, we need to demand proof he is legally qualified to be president. When it is proven he is not, every one of his appointments and signed legislation will be null and void, including the two appointments to the Supreme Court. The side benefit of his ouster will be the demise of liberalsim and the Democrat party.
it’s hard to believe the two contradictions which appear to be playing a bad omen,
that is questions,
ARE THE PEOPLE MASTER OF AMERICA?
IF YES, HOW COME THEY DON’T REMOVE ON THE SPOT ,WHOEVER IS DECIDING TO ACT ALONE ON A VERY DANGEROUS DECISION ON THE NAME OF ALL THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY, WHO ARE AGAINST IT,
WHICH DIRECTLY BRING HATE ONTO THE CITIZENS , FROM OTHER COUNTRIES JUDGING THE LEADER AND HATING THE WHOLE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THE LEADER’S BAD DECISIONS,
IS IN IT PUTTING THE CITIZENS AT RISK AS WE ALREADY NOTICING NOW,
WITH RECALLING THE AMERICANS abroad ALREADY TARGETED,NOW
OBAMA WANT IT SO MUCH HE CAN TASTE IT YET,TO REMOVE ASSAD,
AND GET THE REBELS IN POWER, REMEMBER EGYPT AND LIBYA,
HOW HE WAS SO EAGER TO REMOVE THEM,
are they better of now?
Listening to his G20 address, . . . . damn he’s embarrassing. And no one is asking him about Iran’s threats, nor is he discussing them.
BTW, Skook, have no fear, Dennis Rodman is taking care of N.K. for O.
@ilovebeeswarzone:
very hard to read all uppercase and gets a bypass.
Donovan Dow
oops, sorry for that,
thank’s for the reminder,
I’m too late to fix it,
@Ditto: You are not accurate – imho it is more like a home invasion! Support this crap and we will very soon see the home invasion in a country very close to ours — you (we) better be able to recognize it for what it is before they are at the other end of your (our) block — oh and I would recommend against assuming they would start at the ‘other’ end!
@bwax: Everything you mention has been recognized and / or known since before the 2008 election — unfortunately the RINO party put up an empty orange juice can – which – when looked at more closely was found to be full of sh–t. As far as getting rid of this damm fraud — we also need to firehouse out the congress and media that did not vet this SOB.
Incidentally that reminds me: many politicians have been known as SOB and / or bastard === this is one guy that actually fits the dictionary definitions of both terms!
@bwax: As everyone knows #1 is a misquote. Why should I read the rest?
Ditto #2 Can’t argue with that.
Mos#5 Hey Marine. Tell us what you really think.
J.R Rodman NPB res. Throws great parties. He’s so completely crazy he almost appears sane.lol
Very good Skook! President Big Bill expended major military power and resources to defend Europeans while he allowed black Rwandans to be slaughtered. I wrote a paper for Command and General Staff College concerning the use of Nuclear bombs on Asians and not on Europeans. I got an “This is an interesting perspective” on that paper. I would not consider Truman a liberal in today’s terms, but I would believe the racism was still their. (There were other reasons for dropping the bomb, mostly being the will of the Japanese to fight to the last man, woman and child.)
@Randy: Main reason given was to prevent major U.S. casualties in projected invasion of Japan.
Is their any doubt we’d be less likely to nuke white Christians than ” yellow or black non believers”?
@Randy: Randy, the concept of being willing to “nuke” Asians but not Europeans, has plagued me for decades. I would love to read your paper, if it is appropriate as far as security etc.
The Hitler Jugend were considered to be the most fanatic fighters in Europe, but the possibility of every Japanese citizen being capable of a Banzai Charge with a katana was frightening. (The sword is the most awesome blade in the world. Kendo is one of my martial arts disciplines.) The fact that we demanded that every sword in Japan be turned into our military, attests to the fear we had of that blade.
You can buy them online, but every single one of those millions of swords disappeared mysteriously.
Yes, it is an interesting perspective, indeed.
So now Iranian leadership actually threatens the US directly. Syria didn’t threaten us.
Is Mr. I-Make-A-Mess-Of-Everything going to respond?
@Skook: “Fix Bayonets” Ultimate chilling command from a Marine to his troops.
Semper Fi
@James Raider: Apparently, they think they can infiltrate our Southern Border; however, they have no concept of the efficiency of our former Head of Homeland Security. The border has never been more secure.
Iran doesn’t appreciate our president’s efforts to resist helping the unarmed students being shot in the streets. Now the theocracy is making threats to America and the president’s family. Hmm, all but one of the Hijackers were Saudi Nationals, it’s a difficult situation when you play nation builder in a region where you don’t understand the cultures.
Perhaps, you can ignore the threats and the Iranians will lose interest.
@Richard Wheeler: I took that part of my training seriously, I practiced long after training was over and still practice today, because when you hear those words, the situation is grim.
I never heard those words, but if I do, they will know I was there. The M1 and M14 are awesome weapons, even without ammo or a bayonet.

For Richard Wheeler:
Here is the quote:
http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2008/02/i-will-stand-wi.html
You read it and tell me what Obama is saying. I think it is pretty clear.
Thanks
@bwax: PLS read the whole quote as shown in small print bellow the HEADING.
Obama was referencing the treatment of interred Japanese American Citizens during WWII. He was assuring Muslim American Citizens they need not fear the same misguided treatment–should negative misguided winds start to blow as they did in WWII. Thanks
@Richard Wheeler:
Actually, Obama was talking about how he had met with Muslims, especially Pakistanis, after 9-11. When did he do this? What year and in what capacity? Community organizer? Who were the “pakistanis”? Rashid Kalidi? Did he meet with any of those families affected by Muslims on 9-11 that were NOT Muslim?
@retire05: What the hell are you babbling about.Did you read what Bwax sent over in #21? My explanation is correct.
Richard, King of babblers accuses others of his expertise
@retire05: @Skook: Truly a command you never want to give or receive. Much pugil stick training.
Skooks In post “Obama Breaks Down” pls look at my #176 RT’s response in #189 and my#208. Of course anything else you feel pertinent. Would truly appreciate your thoughts. Thanks RW
#26 sent only to Skook
o5 I’m sure you and I will chat later.
Curt I haven’t been able to edit today. Pls ck. it out. Thanks
@Skook: Skook, I wrote that paper 20 years ago and have moved so many times it would be a miracle if I could find it. I likely made the same case as you would!
If you really look at obama’s actions over the last five years, he has always backed the muslim brotherhood, the islamic culture, muslims and radical muslims (e.g., Ft Hood was work place violence). He has spent the last five years denigrating the United States and her people. He has dispensed with any Christian activities however holds ramadan parties and prayer vigils to mecca in the WH. It is plain to me where his allegiance lies. of course until his records can be seen no one knows who or what he is, but I believe that he isn’t pro-American.

it remind me of a picture of a wolf between the hundreds of sheep
no one can see ,unless they look at it more precisely,
but some other can pick the wolf faster than other,
I was impress with that picture when I saw it first,

Richard Wheeler
why did OBAMA needed to diminish a previous PRESIDENT so he could make his point?
it show very clearly that he doesn’t like AMERICA, and AMERICANS who ever they are
except the one he is siding with, the other who cover him and defend him are just being used as his useful idiots and too bad for those who dare to expose him as he really is, they are being punish,
that’s why you don’t hear the DEMOCRAT, they risk a very well paid job to shut and follow,
BUT their earning come from THE PEOPLE which are fed lies
@enchanted:
You might have missed this little fine point, but, in Obama’s ”Happy Rosh Hashana” greeting to Jewish Americans, Obama lectured them about how Israel ought to surrender yet more for his own ”peace process” to be successful.
Obama has made the Rosh Hashana conference call an annual feature, using it to advance specific administration talking points, usually framed in the context of Jewish ethics.
Compare that with Obama’s lavish praise of all of Islam’s great accomplishments in America!
Now, let’s compare Nobel Prizes for science….
By 2007 Jews had their 159th Nobel Prize.
Muslims have two science based Nobel Prizes as of today.
he is not promoting AMERICA,
he describe AMERICA as a villain of the WORLD,
HOW DARE HE DOES IT
after all the AMERICANS DID TO HELP THE WORLD
AFTER all the IMMIGRANTS where accepted in AMERICA,
even ILLEGALS some criminal are accepted by OBAMA now as we speak,
and given money,
Here is another example of racism from Ed Asner: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2013/09/06/ed-asner-explains-hollywoods-syria-silence-they-dont-want-feel-anti-blac
Here are more that would only demonstrated against a conservative, but not a black president http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnekdahl/14-principled-anti-war-celebrities-we-fear-may-hav-a1x1
@Randy: When everything is neutral, most celebrities are ugly. The camera favors some people and the make-up artist does wonders, but it is the internal ugliness I am referring too. There is nothing that can hide that ugliness.
@Richard Wheeler: Is their any doubt we’d be less likely to nuke white Christians than ” yellow or black non believers”? Ask the question this way, if every detail in the war with Japan were identical to what happened and the inhabitants of Japan were white christians, would the US still have dropped the bomb? Yes.
@Richard Wheeler: #26 Here is your #176 from the other thread:
RW, it baffles me how a former Marine could try so hard to weasel out of an embarrassing situation that he put himself into. You and the whole world know what your message in #176 was all about, you just thought you’d be cute and no one would call you on it. What I don’t understand is, obviously you meant for the addressee to get the message by interpreting what you sent, but since someone else did and called you on it, you’ve become a weasel.
Take your sentence “KISS You rebels did it Me Assad” why is KISS all capitals? why are the Y and M capitals? Did you want the capital M and Y to be a subliminal message? Why not just ‘Marine up” and admit your childish attempt at humor?
Redteam
the REBELS attack the CHRISTIANS in SYRIA,
are they projected to become a replacement of ASSAD who never attack the CHRISTIANS,
IT IS TELLING
ASSAD is fighting to protect the CHRISTIAN PEOPLE.
16 have been killed,
@ilovebeeswarzone: I don’t believe Assad or the rebels are friends of the US. I am not for military action in Syria. To aid either side would be wrong and would only benefit the Islamics
I can’t make up my mind if these people are amateurs, clueless or just have a dangerously skewed world view. It speaks volumes about people who vote for them as well. Sad.

Here is an abstract from a longer article about Cory Booker:

If you read that entire article, at no time does it mention which political party Booker is a member of, therefore, would anyone like to guess which party it is?
Were he a Republican, that fact would be in the headline. Liberal hypocrisy, in spades……

@Redteam: I don’t understand how you can be so stupid..Don’t you have anything better to do? What a bore.

@Skook: Ck R.T in #37. This is what I’m dealing with,lol No problem when I consider the source.
Thanks for your input and advice. Keep up ypur great work===Semper Fi

That’s only one of an infinite list of things you don’t understand…
@Redteam: Last time. KISS is always all caps. Did you serve in our Navy? Then Y M A ‘ In your sick mind why not Me— then You—. Surprised you didn’t suggest I left out a C. YMCA. Get a life. I’m going to the gym.
@Redteam: There actually is a third contingent in Syria that we should support. The Kurds in the north east are being killed by both of the other factions. Iraqi Kurds are moving in to help the Syrian Kurds. Kurds are also tolerant of Christians. If we help anyone, it should be the Kurds instead of the terrorists!
