Source: The Intel Hub (http://www.theintelhub.com/) Debkafile is now reporting (http://www.debka.com/article/9167/) that Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan called Obama and demanded that the United States, Japan, and South Korea attack North Korea!

Prime Minister Naoto Kan called President Barak Obama urgently in the wake of the North Korean artillery attack on South Korea’s Yeonpyeong island near the Yellow Sea border early Tuesday, Nov. 23 and demanded a US-South Korean-Japanese military reprisal. Two South Korean marines were killed and 17 injured in the attack.
He also demanded that the UN Security Council be convened immediately on the crisis. He put the same demands to South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in another call. Naoto Kan then ordered his ministers to prepare for “unexpected events.”
Washington said it is watching the situation but is not militarily involved after strongly condemning the attack and calling for an end to belligerence.
debkafile’s military sources report that the Korean clash has prompted a special alert in the US Seventh Fleet headquarters at Yokosuka in Japan, together with the naval forces stationed there including the USS George Washington aircraft carrier
Tensions are mounting after a North Korean artillery attack left at least 14 South Koreans injured and 2 dead. The South was apparently conducting a routine drill near the near the area that was attacked.
Talk of nuclear redeployment and swift retaliation has lead some to believe that war is imminent. On Monday, before the artillery attack, South Korea officials denied that they were considering redeploying U.S. tactical nuclear weapon in respond to the Norths nuclear aggression.

Yonhap (http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/national/2010/11/23/28/0301000000AEN20101123005600315F.HTML)
South Korea on Tuesday denied it was considering redeployment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons on its territory, watering down a sensitive remark by its defense chief who raised the possibility a day ago.
In response to North Korea’s revelation of a new uranium enrichment facility, Defense Minister Kim Tae-yong had raised the possibility on Monday, telling a lawmaker who asked if South Korea would consider such redeployment that the government “will review what you said.”
South Korea has scrambled fighter (http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/2010/11/23/75/0200000000AEN20101123007500315F.HTML) jets to the region in anticipation of another attack. Al Jazeera is reporting (http://www.livestation.com/channels/3-al-jazeera-english-english) that officials are evacuating fisherman from the island that was initially attacked.

"South Korea is our ally. It has been since the Korean war," Obama said in his first comments about the North Korean shelling of a South Korean island (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101124/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_us_north_korea#) early Tuesday. "And we strongly affirm our commitment to defend South Korea as part of that alliance."

South Korea is more than capable of defending itself. The U.S should have pulled out our troops 30 or 40 years ago.

Oh, didn't you know? It's more profitable to have death, destruction, and slavery than peace, justice, and freedom.

Surely.

And ff Japan wants to go play GI Joe's on behalf of some routine saber rattling, we should wish them well. Hell, I say give them our ROK bases and the debt that go's with them for Christmas.

Sarah Palin: “We Gotta Stand With Our North Korean Allies.”

More words of wisdom from another clueless politician who wants to be leader of the "free" world.

Japan has been chomping at the bit to get in a fight lately. Fighting over an island with China in the yellow sea now this with N. Korea. Japan let off the leash and a little time would probably dominate all of asia again. Not many are as determined or fight as hard as the japanese.

US presence in S. Korea has nothing to do with protecting Korea, and everything to do with having a foothold on a large landmass called Asia, on the doorstep of both China & Russia. Not that I am arguing in favor of US imperialism, just pointing out that the motive isn't altruistic.

Not to mention the u.S. bases in Australia, Japan, Philippines, Diego Garcia and dozens of other locations in the area.

Yes. It is interesting to note a year ago the new Japanese government (since sent packing) was pushing to relocate US forces to Guam, now the tune is suddenly very different. Current events including Daiyou(?) Islands scuff with China and now N. Korea have the effect of re-emphasizing dependency of Japan & Korea on Uncle Sam, lest they might stray from the fold.
