The drills are apparently delayed due to bad weather. if the fog clears they are looking like they will go with the drills tomorrow (tonight our time). Failing that they are talking about Monday morning their time (tomorrow night our time) That makes sense. Without knowing much about the climate in that part of the world I would imagine it should clear by tonight, although fog can be a bit stubborn lol. |

Has anyone heard of Richardson bribing NK this time? Happens all the time with Israel and the Palestinians. The one thing the US is good at is "biding time", not resolving conflicts. |

In some ways it would be better if they could get the drill underway as soon as possible, if only to stop the tension increasing even more. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1048292 United States 12/18/2010 09:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Janey - You hearing anything about alert levels along the DMZ? This Globe and Mail article suggests things are a wee bit tense up along the DMZ - South Korea's patience with North running out 12/17/10 Patrons at the “DMZ” tofu restaurant don't need the muted television set in the corner to tell them when tensions are high between the two Koreas. They just need to peek out the window at the parking lot to see if there are soldiers in the trenches and pillboxes that surround their cars. These days, the parking lot is seeing an unnerving amount of action. Late last month, troops were deployed there as the entire border went on high alert after North Korean artillery shelled a South Korean island, killing two soldiers and two civilians. On Wednesday, patrons and staff at the DMZ restaurant (which is named after the nearby Demilitarized Zone between the two Koreas) were sent scrambling for cover along with the rest of the country when air-raid sirens screamed and fighter jets conducted mock bombing raids, roaring over Seoul and other cities as South Korea carried out its largest civil-defence exercise since 1975. Kim Dong-jo has been selling tofu here long enough to have seen countless such states of heightened alert in his parking lot. But this time is different, he says. A one-time supporter of Seoul's former “sunshine policy” of showering the North with aid and kindness, the Nov. 23 attack on Yeonpyeong Island crossed a red line for him. After years of believing his country should turn the other cheek to such provocations, he now wants to see South Korea punch back hard. “Our retaliation [the day of the Yeonpyeong attack] was not enough,” Mr. Kim said, referring to the belated return of artillery fire that day. “Even if war results, we have to give North Korea a lesson.” Such talk is suddenly the rule among South Koreans.

It's really not much of an out b/c the North unilaterally declared a number of years ago all the waters north of the Maritime Demarcation Line, which includes all the waters surrounding the 5 Yellow Sea Islands. The South (as well as just about the whole international community) recognizes the Northern Limit Line (NLL) as the true maritime border separating North and South Korea. In other words, any SK shells fired off of Yeonpyeong Island are going to "cross the line" into waters NK recognizes (illegally) as their waters. |
