Bones? How about some avian flu biatches! We should just light (their) chickens on fire and throw them at local police. Bones? How about some avian flu biatches!

Rumsfeld was willing to do it and now the Korean government is sensing the new Pentagon leadership is not as intent as Rummy was to change the status quo in Korea and are now pulling out the typical delay tactics to keep the status quo. The status quo is great for the Korean politicians because it keeps the USFK gravy train rolling, that don't have to pay as much for their own defense, and it ensures the security of the country which helps with international investment. The US Army is a great insurance policy for anyone looking to do business with South Korea. Plus the politicians can keep demagoging the USFK issue to their own political advantage and bash the US presence while at the same time doing everything possible to make sure nothing changes. North Korea wants to keep USFK right where it is at as well. The bases within artillery range that can be easily destroyed plus the bases that are surrounded by huge urban cities will continue to be a thorn in US-ROK relations due to traffic accidents and other incidents compared to being stationed in the relative country side of Camp Humphries. It will take determined political leadership in DC to change things and the Koreans have plenty of cash and lobbyist in DC to make sure the status quo rolls on.

Why waste another tax dollar where you're not wanted?? If they cant defend themselves, why are we there? Time for Korea to stand up and be counted! Let them live in an outdated community and see how long that will last. They'll lose big time and the economy will reflect that. Then people will say enough, and the FTA will become law as the rest of the world gets on board. Like I've always said, lets leave Korea, now! Why waste another tax dollar where you're not wanted??
