Democrat Chicken Hawks

Some Carter/Clinton Democrats are calling for a preemptive strike on North Korea:

Therefore, if North Korea persists in its launch preparations, the United States should immediately make clear its intention to strike and destroy the North Korean Taepodong missile before it can be launched. This could be accomplished, for example, by a cruise missile launched from a submarine carrying a high-explosive warhead. The blast would be similar to the one that killed terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq. But the effect on the Taepodong would be devastating. The multi-story, thin-skinned missile filled with high-energy fuel is itself explosive -- the U.S. airstrike would puncture the missile and probably cause it to explode. The carefully engineered test bed for North Korea's nascent nuclear missile force would be destroyed, and its attempt to retrogress to Cold War threats thwarted. There would be no damage to North Korea outside the immediate vicinity of the missile gantry.

Of course, you know what would happen next? Nk would immediately invade the South and the same Democrats who led the drumbeat for war ( as they did over Iraq) would want us to "redeploy" our troops from Korea. As Karl Rove declared about the Democrats:

"They may be with you for the first shots, But they're not going . . . to be with you for the tough battles."
