I wasn't thinking of you, mousethief, in any of my previous comments.


Here's an atrocity in the making. Yet another false flag operation...


On 20 May, South Korea announced that it had "overwhelming evidence" that one of its warships, the Cheonan, had been sunk by a torpedo fired by a North Korean submarine in March with the loss of 46 sailors. The United States maintains 28,000 troops in South Korea, where popular sentiment has long backed a détente with Pyongyang.

On 26 May, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flew to Seoul and demanded that the "international community must respond" to "North Korea's outrage". She flew on to Japan, where the new "threat" from North Korea conveniently eclipsed the briefly independent foreign policy of Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama, elected last year with popular opposition to America's permanent military occupation of Japan. The "overwhelming evidence" is a torpedo propeller that "had been corroding at least for several months," reported the Korea Times. In April, the director of South Korea's national intelligence, Won See-hoon, told a parliamentary committee that there was no evidence linking the sinking of the Cheonan to North Korea. The defence minister agreed. The head of South Korea's military marine operations said, "No North Korean warships have been detected [in] the waters where the accident took place." The reference to "accident" suggests the warship struck a reef and broke in two.
