CAEN, France – US President Barack Obama said Saturday that North Korea’s nuclear weapon test had been “extraordinarily provocative” and that it would be “profoundly dangerous” for Iran to get a nuclear bomb.
Obama highlighted the separate policies being pursued against the two, with the United States seeking a tougher line on Stalinist North Korea while it has a new start to Iran’s hardline Islamic government.
Iran’s nuclear programme featured in talks between Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy who condemned what he called “senseless” new remarks by Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad casting doubt on the Holocaust.
Obama was asked about the nuclear threat from the two states at a press conference after the meeting in the northern French city of Caen.

“North Korea’s actions over the last couple of months have been extraordinarily provocative,” he said.
“They have made no bones about the fact that they are testing nuclear weapons, testing missiles that would potentially have intercontinental capacity. And, in fact, we are not intending to continue a policy of rewarding provocation,” he added.

IT’S CALLED MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION MR. OBAMA (why do we keep electing dumb assholes that don’t share with the people that elect them one shred of COMMON SENSE)

Iran is what Russia has been threatening to nuke us over for two years now. There will be no MAD, there will be another false flag and that same day, Russia, China and 8 other countries are going to destroy America. It will be on 10-10-09.

I checked out the link, and I must say… although many things seem too much fantasy to believe, even a broken clock is allowed to be right twice a day.

I’m so pleased they have told you in advance of their plan to destroy the USA. Lets just hope that they aren’t trying to trick you. However, just in case it is the truth, I spoke to President Obama, along with Prime Minister Brown, Mr Berlusconi and President Sarcozy and gave them the information for their desk diaries. Barack said he’d bear it in mind, Brown says he has a dinner that night, but will keep his one good eye on things. Berlusconi has a date with Miss Italy, but he’s written it on an old envelope for later, while Sarcozy choked a little on his wine but says he will rebuild the Maginot line just in case you are right.

I’d laugh my ass off if North Korea and Iran both nuked Israel. Now how would that play out on the world stage! Kimmie pooh says, we help Iran, they buy many missiles… we take care Israel for them, make offering, send regards to Achmenajhad and say you welcome. Send invoice for missiles and piece of sweet bread.

And the 700 US military bases around the world are what? NOT provocative?

If the USA can have nuclear weapons why should other countries not have them? USA is the only country to have used nuclear weapons on two civilian targets. Iraq did not have WMDs but the USA attacked anyway. Supposing Iraq actually had them, would the USA have even considered attacking Iraq? Because Iraq would have hit back at the USA and destroyed a city. The USA likes invading countries which cannot retaliate. If it is so upset about other countries having WMDs then it should have invaded Russia, China, India and Pakistan at the same time.
A nuclear powered North Korea makes the job of the USA of actually invading it even more difficult. If the USA attacks North Korea would nuke the USA. Invading Iran was another insane plan. But if Iran has nuclear weapons, the USA will abandon all plans to invade it. For some reason the USA wants to tell the world it is the most powerful country in the world. That is besides the point, the USA is a rogue state and everyone knows it.

For those morons who think there is moral equality between Iran and the US (west, ie Israel) you should move to Iran, where people are truly tortured, stoned to death, and hung from
machinery. iran’s mullahs are the MOST CORRUPT monsters..

Hey Jeddy America can have whatever it wants because without American blood in both World Wars that the ignorant Europeans started there would be no world. You sure as hell would not be allowed to make such asinine comments on a public forum, you would be deservedly terminated. Jealousy, it rules your Life. America is the greatest country in the History of Makind for all its faults. You have no history if not for America as you use a device invented by the US military, what irony huh stupid!!!??? Get your own third world internet pal, why are you using an American invention, pray tell?? Oh you are a self serving moron, sorry.

The internet was not invented by the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee.
The USA had no intention of taking part in WW2 until the Japs hit Pearl Harbour. Infact, your beloved JFK’s father, who was the US ambassador to Great Britain at the start of WW2 was quite happy to see Great Britain defeated owing to his Irish Catholic background and hatred of the British. Your education system is focused exclusively on the USA to the exclusion of even basics. My friends daughter was at school in Houston while her father worked there. Her geography teacher told the class that Paris was the capital of Germany, and that Scotland was an island off the coast of England. If thats the quality of US education, it’s little wonder you seem to have trouble understanding other peoples beliefs and values. The problem with people like you is that you continually tell the world how the US saved the world from oppression, but now, you are doing the same thing simply to ensure you can drive around in gas guzzling cars.

We need to stop caring about what other countries do! We have problems RIGHT HERE at home that need fixing quick! If they attack us then we unload on them fuckers! We are unfortunately a first strike nation now, and the biggies want us to be afraid of WW4 and “terrorists” so they can take away more freedom(whatever you decide is left of it, if any at all) and rule by fear! Everyone knows that America is broke and this is DANGEROUS! However if they blow everything up how can they make money from it? It’s just not economically sound to trigger all-out nuclear war, they would probably stop just short of killing off half the world but that is doubtfull because of all the fallout! They wouldn’t have the slave work forces they have now either. Nuclear war is a bad idea, but we had to beat the Japs and Krauts to it during WW2 they were also experimenting with atomic weapons! If they beat us to it we would live in a totally nazi world!

North Korea’s explosion of a 20 kiloton device symbolizes the complete failure of Kissinger/Brezsinki great game playing. Our forces are deployed uselessly in central Asia while a security threat 60 years old gets worse.

BREAKING NEWS: korea and iran warn obama over nukleer threat
June 7th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
JEDDY IS 100% CORRECT….THANK YOU SIR..!
June 8th, 2009 at 4:22 am
Dear Mr Obama.
How about you stop stuffing around and stop both iran and north korea. I BET THEY PROBABLY HAVE A BOMB. Honestly THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED BEFORE THEY KILL MILLIONS. I bet if maggy thatcher was in charge the job would already be done. how long do we have to sit here and worry about these stupid violent rubbish countries. Wipe them out no survivors and let the world live in peace. I can tell you when Obama has had enough he will really kick butt really fast. THAT GUY HAS BALLS BIGGER THAN ANY LEADER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
June 8th, 2009 at 7:56 am
what makes ya think its that easy? america has already been warned if they attack iran its all over.
June 8th, 2009 at 8:01 am
These issues we are now faced with are due to the incompetent mismanagement of past administrations. Basically we are now force to clean up others shit. If our country is nuked by say china or Russia, China and Russia lose zillions of dollars already invested. Making them very stupid. You might as well throw all your Chinese yen in a pile and set it on fire.
They will sacrifice you. You are expendable correct? That’s what your dumb incompetent government leaders think. Anybody with common moral since knows that it’s not ok to start nuking other people’s citizens for any reason. It’s just like you don’t go setting your’ neighbors house on fire killing everyone inside. Morally it’s wrong. You just don’t do stuff like that to anyone. Just imagine your little son or daughter at the playground, then your all wiped out because of a psychopathic Chinese, Russian, Iranian, or North Korean moron got pissed at some stupid political agenda.
They are complete lunatics. If we get nuked it’s out of fear. Each country has these weapons and do not want to be victims of a strike so they nuke first. Pretty fucking brilliant you bunch of idiots, See what you people have to deal with. Complete morons in charge of your destiny… Just think, after a nuclear strike if you survive, you look around you and see complete inhalation, a baron land of death and destruction.
Was that a good idea to launch a nuke and kill everybody and wipe out everything?? No it’s not no matter what country. You might as well and will be a dog sniffing around the dump looking for some food all because your government launched a nuke. It’s the most incompetent irresponsible decision a human being can make. If you government officials want to fight it out, we Americans can arrange a pay per view event and make some cash. Then we can watch all you grumpy old men duke it out you bunch of fucking idiots.
This could be the beginning of the end for all of us. In the past we’ve had lunatics maniacs and arrogant assholes running our country. Finally we have somebody with common sense. However, he may have to defend us from a first strike from others. This is due to the arrogance of the past American scumbag officials. I am American but should not have to pay for their mistakes when my voice was never considered worthy of an opinion and still is not. I don’t care about me. It’s all about sparing my children any future horrors or hardships instilled upon us by poor, impulsive, irrational government decisions.
You better start thinking of ways to take care of yourself and loved ones. We have no control over who pushes the buttons. There is so much distrust today many may not even get advance notice of an incoming strike. If this does happen, which I doubt, Grab a gun pack lots of food and head for the woods…When you see armies it’s all over for you unless you fight and fight hard. There will be no more war when there are no more armies to fight them
June 8th, 2009 at 8:57 am
there is a new war just waiting to happen
