Doesn't he want to be a war PM maybe?? Doom to speculate on. Quoting: Robbin n StealinChina, Japan and South korea dont beleive North Kore shot at the ship. The ship was shot in South korean waters, during a military operation, involving three hi-tec US subs.There wont be a war between the Koreas. Do you have an English link for this? For now it is late night here and i will retire from doom for the night. I will dream in very vivid colours tonight. |

Also, curious that it was found out to be a German torpedo, which the North Koreans have no history of ever purchasing. |

135 User ID: 918416 United States 06/01/2010 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this guy to Resigns Over Afghan War Comments Said War Was About Protecting Trade Routes by Jason Ditz, May 31, 2010 German President Horst Köhler announced his resignation today, putting a surprising end to his six year term in office following growing uproar over his comments defending the war of Afghanistan. In a weekend radio interview, Köhler insisted that the war was necessary to protect German economic interests in the region, including trade routes. Köhler subsequently lashed out at domestic criticism of his comments, saying that the media had not “shown the respect due to me as the holder of the highest office of state.” In the end, however, the outrage was becoming a liability to the Merkel government, and he announced his resignation. Germany’s role in Afghanistan has been a source of enormous domestic controversy, as Germany’s constitution specifically rules out participation in such a war, prompting many officials to claim that it “technically” isn’t a war, and that the constitutional limits don’t apply. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 892309Usually it's corruption related. They seem to be getting more hawkish though. I was in Japan last year and public sentiment there is growing more political and right-wing as time goes by. I get the feeling that the next PM will be a long-term and hardline one, considering recent geopolitical and economic factors... That's not true...I mean I wouldn't say many; 3 or 4 I think at most. This one is over the base. It's turned into a major dishonor for him. Hes not the first victim. He's just one of many quitting over it. He was fighting to get them out then suddenly pulled a 180 on the Okinawans. Some say that was the whole plan of the North Korean situation right now. Not Skor; but instead the Japanese government. Because it would lead to the us needing to stay. i.e trying to create instability in region. The majority of japan was asking him to step down after this; among other things. Its been a important subject for them for a long time. I personally think we should be there; but we should try to be out of the way as much as possible. A decade of misbehavior, noise, rapes, was behind the main reasons. And he suddenly let them stay. ( The torpedo situation). This x 1,000 Well put. |

They are known to counterfit weapons. Right now chess pieces are being moved. They know Obama now supports communism and China is going to be the top dog and the USA will be their puppy dog. and North Korea didnt attack a sub, they attacked a ship. I believe the meeting Kim Jong Il had with China weeks before the torpedo incidence was the green light to pursue with the attack. however, be very watchful of officials in the US Government and US Media. They have crossed the line and have now become psycho paths with their angry directly targeted at white americans. |

There's your first clue. American subs would have been able to at least know from where the torpedo came from as soon as it was in the water if they were anywhere close. And anti-sub aircraft would have been in the air in seconds if they weren't already flying when it occurred. |

The Sumerian User ID: 927171 United States 06/01/2010 10:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You all see. All these things occurring all over the planet. It's NOT coincidence. There is a plan that is being carried out all over. Things are made to look like accidents. At the same time, natural (or maybe not) events and disasters in their own right are mixed in. There is a method to the madness. SOMEONE IS PULLING THE STRINGS and they are not limited to national boundaries. And someone or some group that is not restrained by human borders and rules of law can cause wide spread panic and strife and yet still stay invisible, behind the scenes. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED. Drop the blinders and see. AND GET FREAKING MAD. |

Supposedly he is getting booted because he failed to get the US bases out, which was a campaign promise (I guess they lie over there too). |
