Kristol and Hume call for ‘targeted air strikes’ against North Korea.
Kristol and Hume call for ‘targeted air strikes’ against North Korea.
On Fox News Sunday yesterday, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol said that it would be “wise” for the Obama administration to “knock out a few” of North Korea’s missile sites. “You know, it might be worth doing some targeted air strikes to show the North Koreans — instead of always talking about, Gee, there could be consequences, to show that they can’t simply keep down the — keep going down this path,” said Kristol. Asked if he would “consider” “brother Kristol’s” idea, Fox’s Brit Hume, replied, “I would.” Watch it:
Yglesias notes that “Kristol doesn’t even attempt to say what he thinks this will accomplish.” “He just kind of tosses it out there for no reason because arguing that the United States should start wars is what he does.” Nonproliferation expert Joe Cirincione, the president of the Ploughshares Fund, tells ThinkProgress that “Kristol may sound authoritative on the Fox News set, but following his advice would be a disaster on the battlefield.” “A strike on North Korea would be the beginning of a war, not the end of a crisis,” said Cirincione.
Read Cirincione’s full statement:
It is not news when Bill Kristol recommends starting a war. It is his default foreign policy option. On Sunday, his answer to North Korea was to launch air strikes, as he was “certain” that North Korea is determined to become a nuclear power and there was no other way to stop them.He was also “certain” in 2003 that invading Iraq was necessary to eliminate Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction and war would show Iran and North Korea that they should stop their programs or face similar attacks.
When the war proved a disaster, and when Iran and North Korea both accelerated their programs (making more progress in the past 6 years than they had in the previous 12), Kristol stayed consistent, arguing for strikes on North Korea in 2006 and for war with Iran in 2007.
Kristol does have a point. If we thought that North Korea was about to launch a long-range missile with a nuclear warhead, the president should and could destroy the missile on the launch pad. The North’s missiles are liquid-fueled, still relatively basic and take several days to transport to the launch pad, assemble and fuel. They are large, stationary, relatively easy targets for U.S. forces.
This “pre-boost phase” intercept” has always been my favorite form of missile defense. A commander would be a fool to wait until after an enemy had launched a missile to see of one of the anti-missile systems we deploy could intercept it. Tests indicated that the Aegis system deployed on Navy ships could not hit a Taepodong missile in its boost-phase, rising from North Korea. Nor could the Ground-Based Missile Defense System deployed in Alaska hit the missile in its mid-course phase if the North deployed even the simplest of counter-measures such as decoys, chaff or jammers.
The missile now crawling to the pad in North Korea does not pose a serious threat to the United States, as Secretary of Defense Robert Gates pointed out this weekend (and National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley concluded following a similar July 2006 test). There is no evidence that North Korea has or is close to having a nuclear warhead that could fit on a long-range missile. That would take more tests and more years to perfect. Nor do they yet have a working long-range missile. If the North tests again it will be only the fourth test of a long-range missile in 11 years. None have worked so far.
Finally, there is a very good reason why the Joint Chiefs have rejected military strikes on North Korea—and why Vice-President Dick Cheney did also back in 2006. “I think, obviously, if you’re going to launch strikes at another nations, you’d better be prepared to not just fire one shot,” he said. This is still true. A strike on North Korea would be the beginning of a war, not the end of a crisis. There is a high probability that the North would launch counter-strikes. A barrage of some of the 10,000 artillery and rocket tubes the North has trained on Seoul, South Korea could kill tens of thousands in the first few hours of a war.
Kristol’s gambit is a loser’s game, with no calculation of the next move. Particularly at this time of high tension over the successor to ailing leader Kim Jong-Il, does Kristol really think that the regime could afford to lose massive amounts of face and still maintain their grip on the country? Kristol may sound authoritative on the Fox News set, but following his advice would be a disaster on the battlefield.

June 1st, 2009 at 1:08 pmKristol, Hume, Limbaugh and all the other neocon sensationalists need some accountability for their views, such as losing their arm chair jobs when they are wrong.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:09 pmThe Kristol and Hume children should be first on the ground in North Korea.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:09 pmDidn’t N Korea declare the treaty of 1953 null and void?
Don’t they have nuclear weapons?
Don’t we have bases and embassies with in range of those weapons?
We may have no choice in the next couple of months but to make airstrikes.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:10 pmYes, I’m sure the 29,000 U.S. troops stationed in Korea and along the DMZ would appreciate such an unprovoked attack on North Korea.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:11 pmNo airstrikes. No more war. Bill and Bret want to bomb everything. Just say no.

And then what?
You hawks always seem to forget that the world doesn’t end the day after an airstrike.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:13 pmWhat in the hell is it with these chicken hawk war mongers? They never believed they needed to put their money where their mouths are, but are sure to jump on the band wagon and advocate war and violence? I don’t understand their mentality.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:13 pmWhy don’t they ask this a$$clown how the Korean war turned out.
Those that do not learn from history are destined to repeat it.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:15 pmAdvice from the guy who is consistently wrong about everything. When do the adults finally get to take Kristol’s soapbox away from him?
June 1st, 2009 at 1:16 pmOk, so we do their air strikes for them (remember W didn’t bother when he was the Unitary Executive – he just left EVERYTHING for the next team). Who will Kristol and Hume blame the next day when Tokyo and Seoul are burning . . .
June 1st, 2009 at 1:16 pmSlightly off topic, and not to take up for North Korea, but my guess is that Lisa Ling and that other lady in NK custody actually are spies.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:18 pmThat “journalist” lady just released from Iran probably was too.
Who elected Kristol and Hume into a position where they make foreign policy decisions? Oh that’s right, NOBODY.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:19 pmSure, sure, just as soon as Kristol, Hume, & cd enlist.

June 1st, 2009 at 1:28 pmNorth Korea has enough troops and artillery in position to flatten Seoul in a matter of hours, and occupy it within a few days. The US and South Korean military acknowledge this. Air strikes by a third country, the US, would be insane and lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands, probably millions.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:29 pmBeing that Kristol is always right, entering a third simultaneous conflict must be just what our military needs right now. More solid ideas from the GOP.
Conventional wisdom says that he probably owns a fair amount of stock in Military Defense companies; as would any wealthy Republican politician with an insatiable blood-lust, a quick trigger finger, and a national platform to spew self-benefitting nonsense despite the consequences. Am I right about that, Mr. Cheney?
June 1st, 2009 at 1:32 pmWell sure, but think of the ratings for Fox News during the slaughter!
June 1st, 2009 at 1:33 pmLet’s set aside for the moment the immediate devastating effect air strikes would have on the Korean peninsula as about a million starving, indoctrinated North Koreans pile across the 38th parallel destroying everything in their path. How does William the Clueless expect China (you know, our largest creditor) to react when we bomb its neighbor and ally?

June 1st, 2009 at 1:39 pmcd
You warmongers just dont DO logic. Yes N Korea has a few nuclear weapons and WE have a few THOUSAND. Korea is a peninsula off of China. We start a war with N Korea and we are in a war with CHINA. There is a diplomatic avenue for ending this problem if we would do it and then actually follow through with it. Neocon warmongers seem to hate any solution that doesnt end in tens of thousands DEAD.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:39 pmMaybe Kristols on halliburton`s payroll. War = big no bid contracts for them.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:40 pmOh come on. China would never get involved in a conflict in Korea.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:42 pmThe robotic Brit Hume disagrees with NO ONE. He knows who butters his bread and wouldn’t think of saying anything to jeopardize his paycheck from FIXED News.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:42 pmsmall Dick Cheney has been diversifying into prison stocks. No I am NOT kidding! I suppose it is a good strategy for a well diversified nencon portfolio.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:42 pmkristol is a coward if he doesn’t offer to ride the first missile all the way to its target

June 1st, 2009 at 1:49 pmI can’t agree with Kristol on how we should approach North Korea, but in principle I favor military action as opposed to any further talks. I say this as a veteran and not lightly. This North Korea situation is covered with barbs and we will get stuck but I can’t fathom letting a madman centered regime continue unopposed with the development and delivery of WMD. When they erect a missle for launch, we should take it out after a straightforward warning.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:51 pmcd, Merdad:
May I assume that the 2 of you have enlisted in the army to be the 1st to fight in the new Korean war you want? Yes?
*crickets chirping*
Chickenhawks like you two, Kristol, Limpdick, and others don’t have the balls to put your bodies where your mouths are.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:51 pmThe answer is
C. None of the above
June 1st, 2009 at 1:51 pmI say we let Hume, Kristol, and all the other war-mongerers and chickenhawks wage their own campaign against the North Koreans — give them guns and drop them off near the Demilitarized Zone.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:52 pmI have plenty of evidence, merdad

June 1st, 2009 at 1:56 pmWar lovers like Kristol never been to any war or even put a military unform on.
Is there any surprise that these guys called Neocons always talking wars as if wars are Hollywood produced movies.!!
Any attack on North Korea, a country with a very strong and well equipped army, will get us nothing but trouble.
If we start a war with N.Korea now ,it will not end soon and it will not abe a winnable one. It will also drag Chnia,Russia,S.Korea and Japan to the battle field beside us and N.Korea.
Kristol who makes his good living talking big on televsion shows never seen war himself.
It is easy for Kristol and his buddies to sit down and talk wars when lives of others are sacrificed,and not theirs or their families members.
June 1st, 2009 at 1:57 pmHey Merdad shouldn`t you be at your gun club right now? Or maybe harrasing some women at a clinic who are exercising their freedom of choice.

YOU COWARD LIB EugeneDebs- WE NEED SOMEONE LIKE GW BUSH TO BOMB N. KOREA BACK TO PRE-STONE AGE.
Unlike you (in all probability) I have served in Korea (camp Casey and Camp Greaves) and as toasterhead has said I would not appreciate the cowboy mentality that even GWB wasn’t dumb enough to do during the AXIS OF EVIL days.
North Korea knows the South well REAL well, so drop a bomb on them and they will rain down tens of thousands, I say again, tens of thousands of artillery pieces on the South, not to mention whatever they cooked up during the Bush years.
Any reinforcement force would only arrive to put the tens of thousands of Soldiers, Airmen, Marines into body bags, because there would literally be nothing left. So unless you and those who think like you are willing to come to the peninsula, with all of your relatives, and join the fight, I/WE who are/have experience in this respectfully ask you to sit this one out.

Diplomacy has the potential to take care of the problem and if it doesnt the military option doesnt disappear. That club is ALWAYS in the bag and everyone involved KNOWS this. The key to dealing with a country like N. Korea is to give them something to lose. Right now they have NO economy, they are paranoid and their military is all they have. If we get out of the way of the sunshine policy S. Korean industrialists are watering at the mouth to build some plants in the North with the well educated but dirt poor populace. That will create a middle class so that sanctions that right NOW are guilding the lily and cant hurt them to be a credible threat. Yeah Kim Jong Il is a madman and a weasel but we dont get to choose who leads other countries. If we START with a military response it will be seen in the world as the same old American exceptionalism and imperialism after all WE DO have nuclear weapons and saying no one else can have them carries very little credibilty from us. Especially when Bush said WE were going to build a whole new generation of MORE USABLE nuclear weaspons. I can think of no scarier term in the English language than MORE USABLE NUCLEAR weapons. IF however we START with diplomacy and N. Korea balks THAT will help build an international consensus that China will have to take into consideration if we are forced to take military actions. So even IF military action is the aim we STILL need to start with diplomacy, it costs us nothing and has a large STRATEGIC payoff.

June 1st, 2009 at 2:25 pmThis is how you handle it:
You don’t give them any excuse. You do everything by the book and by treaty.
You say to them both publicly and privately that you respect them, consider them part of the community of nations, and will work to help them with their problems if such help is requested.
And then, privately and only privately say ‘but if you insist on acting like a criminal–if you launch an attack on either the South or on us (or on Japan) that nobody but nobody has provoked–then we will put an end to your nation in the course of an afternoon.
And forget about George Bush. You’re not dealing with infants and gonifs any more.

June 1st, 2009 at 2:59 pmMerdad, what was so horrible in your life that mad you think the way that you do? Anyone who cares about our country and its people can clearly see that wingnuts dont care about our country. You wingnuts are full of hatred, you kill innocent people.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:07 pmI would accept Kristol’s call for targeted attacks if he is chained to a hotel suite bed in Seoul just before the US bombing starts.
It needs to be a room which affords a nice picture view of the missiles as they come in and wipe him (and, unfortunately, much of Seoul) out.
His screams of terror would need to be web-cast/broadcast as a lesson to all neo-cons that making wildly ridiculous threats of military attack have consequences. Some of which can be predicted by people who are not even in think tanks or inside any beltway.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:08 pmThe abysmal ignorance of this tandem of clowns is mind-boggling. North Korea can, with relative impugnity, easily devastate Seoul with its several millions of citizens within days of the first strike from their hardened bunkers along the DMZ.
Do they imagine that China would stand idly by? Do they think that China couldn’t collapse our economy in retaliation?
June 1st, 2009 at 3:08 pmOf course they want airstrikes… they aren’t the ones who have to carry them out or go into combat should the time come.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:14 pmI see Merdad is back spouting his trouble making ignorance. I guess the ton of abuse reports haven’t hit the mods.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:17 pmYeah, when all you’ve got is a hammer (American Militarist thinkiing on the Rethug side—no diplomacy for them), the solution to every problem looks like a nail. Just hammer the hell out of it and it’ll go away—–not! That worked really well with the invasion of Baghdad—–Mission Accomplished and all. Twisted Kristol needs to get another hobby.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:17 pmWhat dicks! It’s as if they don’t think the North Koreans can’t just swarm South Korea and OUR soldiers with a million man army. This isn’t a million man march! It’s a million man ARMY for crissakes. I served during the last Korean War and I don’t want to see anybody die just because assh@les like Kristol, Hume, Limbaugh, slackers all, want to bomb North Korea. They don’t think North Korea would strike back. With the loony they have running their country, who sounds like Kristol, Hume, and Limbaugh saber rattling, he really thinks he is invincible. Nothing worse than a man with an A-bomb feeling invincible.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:17 pmThat might be a tad simolistic, glogrrl.
I’m sure the problems that look like screws still look like screws to Kristol, he just figures who needs a screwdriver when you’ve got a hammer.
WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
There. Good to go.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:32 pmOh yeah.. lets do a targeted airstrike on a country that could lob a nuke right into the DMZ and south Korea. GREAT plan…pssssssssst, hey you …. pull your head out of your ass..
June 1st, 2009 at 3:36 pmNow why would China care if we took out some missle sites? They are in harm’s way as well, and besides, we owe them $750,000,000,000.00 give or take a few billion. What a great negotiating tool.
The Chinese don’t want to do it, One Asian against another, you know.

That’s it! I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I think our nuclear arsenal has corrupted our senses so much that we think of the near-total destruction of Iraq as restraint, because we didn’t detonate a nuclear weapon. Coupled with a particularly strong risk-aversion among our soldiers—-
Oy.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:02 pmI think any action that South Korea doesn’t want to go along with should be out of the question.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:03 pmYes let’s bomb North Korea and piss of China so they wont buy our debt and get in the fight against us. That sounds like a great idea don’t it?
June 1st, 2009 at 4:05 pmI think dropping Kristol and Hume on North Korea is a great idea, we could count on them to guide North Korea into blunder after blunder.
Parachutes? Sure, I guess we could give them parachutes before we drop them…
June 1st, 2009 at 4:08 pmHEY COMRADE LIBS,
TURN ON THE RUSH. I BEEN LISTENING TO HIM SINCE NOON, LEARNED A LOT. A WEALTH OF INFO. Says merdad
Are you still here???? Why haven’t you F**keD OFF yet???? and while your at it….EAT SHIT AND DIE!! PIG – GET OUT OF HERE IF YOU HAVE NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE TO SAY!!!
June 1st, 2009 at 4:28 pmOnly if Kristol rides the first bomb like Major “King” Kong in Dr. Strangelove.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:11 pmNeoCons are truly scum
They don’t serve, their kids don’t, but they sure do like war mongering.
June 1st, 2009 at 9:48 pmMisguided “Right” wing war freaks love tough talk from evil chickenhawk war mongers like Kristol. This is a man who has the blood of many on his hands, and doesn’t care one bit. He is the worst American, the demon guiding the wars that bring the United States a bad name around the world, for what? He’s a neocon, that should be enough for any well informed American to know what he stands for, and it’s not Mom and apple pie. Only fools listen to him, total fools. Get him off the air!!!

June 2nd, 2009 at 1:02 amBill Kristol also wanted to bomb a New York deli which was not quite kosher.
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:23 amHow conservative is wanting air strikes on North Korea?
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:28 amThese guys(GOP) are really crossing the line and getting scary.
Hey Kevin. I just saw the YouTube video about web 3.0 and I have had this idea about our future economy.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:52 amIt’s a bit in tune with the Zeitgeist film. See, if all of our knowledge was shared, we couldn’t make money of it. Siki?

I’m a musician and I kinda have the feeling that in the future people will pay for live performances, because we have computer software that is very close to sounding like a musical instrument, with a modelled human touch. So, if a person that has never played the guitar, can click a button and sound like Jimi Hendrix, than what is the coolness about all this digital music really? Infact, I think that the more advanced this gets, the less interesting it becomes. We are still in awe over a youngster that can make the violin cry and we will definately be in even more awe when a person can actually do with their fingers that what we can do in an iPhone application.
