Mondale Backs Preemptive Strike on NK

Story here. h/t: WorldNetDaily.com

Former Vice President Walter Mondale said today he supports a pre-emptive U.S. strike against a North Korean missile, saying the U.S. should tell North Korea to dismantle the missile or "we are going to take it out."

This on the heels of other Democrats also recommending a preemptive strike against North Korea.

Well, I would ask:

What about Iran? They're clearly an equally likely and dangerous threat to the Free World. Why not a preemptive strike on them, too? Whither Democrats on this one?

If we should take out NK's ICBM, why not take out Iran's under-construction nukes, too?

Why the difference? I would hope that the Dems haven't commissioned their elder has-beens to go around helping them play some kind of a stupid political game to try and throw off the current U.S. administration in a time of grave surrounding threats.

Funny, but I don't see the MSM trumpeting these Democrat recommendations as news. It is news, big, relevant news, after all. But I see not very much MSM coverage. Guess they either cannot do their job due to gross incompetence or they're playing dangerous, irresponsible leftist games...
