Pentagon Newspeak: Sinking Ship Not an Act of War

Defense Secretary Robert Gates admits that North Korea intentionally  torpedoed  and sank a South Korean warship in March.  The North Koreans must just be upset about ObamaCare—Gates refuses to call the attack an “act of war.” 

Predictably, North Korea is threatening retaliation should anyone be so bold as to declare at act of war against South Korea to be an act of war against South Korea. 

The White House called the sinking an unacceptable ‘act of aggression’ that violated international law and the 1953 truce. U.S. troops in and around South Korea remained on the same level of alert, said Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Again with the law enforcement angle.  Let’s just hand the entire matter over to Eric Holder—as soon as the kids from the literacy outreach program finish tutoring him on AZ immigration law. 

Fifty-eight sailors were rescued after the attack; 46 died making the attack the worst military disaster since the end of the Korean War in 1953.
