We need to demand the immediate return of the USS Pueblo from North Korea.

USS Pueblo (AGER-2) is a Banner-class technical research ship (Navy intelligence) which was boarded and captured by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on 23 January 1968 in what is known as the Pueblo incident or alternatively as the Pueblo crisis or Pueblo affair

Wait a minute...

So they stole this boat in 1968, and you think we should ask for it back NOW? Aren't we a little late to the party?

Should'a just nuked little Kim's candy ass the day after they returned the crew members. "Nuke? Really? Oh damn, didn't we tell you unless the Keel Guard kept his foot on that Nuke Peddle the damn thing would blow up!?"
Sure would have solved a growing hemorrhoid problem of today with what I fear is a spineless administration.

Don't blame me, I voted Nazi.

But what will we do if Spain wants Puerto Rico back?

^I vote for giving it back... :)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

"The people of the United States of America stand by our friends in Puerto Rico. We deplore the demands being made on them by the government of Spain. We are attempting to open a friendly dialog with the supreme leaders of the Spanish Government, in the hopes that it might someday lead to free and legal elections by the Puerto Rican people to decide their own destiny. Further more...yadda, yadda, wee, wee..."

So we get it back, assuming it can make its way back to the US, we study it for a while, hold roasts and parties for it, then we decommission it, and then we sink it as an articial reef.

Makes no sense at all, but I am all for it!

The North Koreans are apparently using it and maintaining it quite well. This is a recent photo:



But I'm sure they'll just hand over the keys if we ask nicely, right? Kim Jong Il is such a rational, nice, guy...

In any event, if we haven't missed this boat they stole from us in the last 30 years, why the rush to get it back now?

They use it as a museum of american aggression....

Doesn't great leader Kim have enough bucks left from the Nuke Missles to repaint the damn boat in the local script? Maybe we could trade him a Home Depot for another week of "be nice..."

Ock, maybe we can get close with some Navy Seals, attach umbrellas all over the surface deck and hope that it gets struck by lightening.

I'm all for it! Let's go.

Mtrain have you seen the amazing things they're doing with antidepressant's these days? It's obvious through these post's that you may have a problem. Fortunately depression is a highly treatable condition.

Scientific studies have determined that antidepressants work best when they are combined with counseling, such as seeing a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker or other health professional on a regular basis.

And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

They go best with Southern Comfort or Rebel Yell!

Sounds like a great plan to me... Seals installing umbrellas? Pretty cool. Do they get much lightning in North Korea?
