McCain: Time for Decisive Action on North Korea McCain: Time for Decisive Action on North Korea

Sen. McCain at Captain's Quarters: Time for Decisive Action on North Korea takes a hard line with North Korea, backing the President, and questioning the strategy of talking to talk under former President Clinton. One poster at Justoneminute pointed out that talking is a tactic, not a strategy, and the Clinton Administration never understood that diplomacy for its own sake is a waste of time and hot air (and JP-4).

One thing that I found interesting in Sen. McCain's post was his point that China is attempting to position itself as a superpower, and to succeed there, it has to be able to show that it can control the behavior of its allies or client states. So, no surprise that they appear to be livid about the claimed nuclear tests by North Korea.
