US REPONSE TO NORTH KOREAN ROCKET LAUNCH REMINISCENT OF SYMBICORT AD

Kim Jong Un’s ballistic missile, both before and after its launch, left US huffing and puffing to no avail

North Korea launched a rocket Sunday, claiming that its purpose was to put a satellite in space. However, many believe that the launch was really an intercontinental ballistic missile test.

The US warned Kim Jung Un not to launch his rocket. That warning was exactly as effective as our warning for him not to conduct his recent nuclear test. Our warnings have fallen on deaf ears.

As for the rocket launch, Secretary of State John Kerry referred to it as a "a flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council Resolutions." And he called the nuclear test and the rocket launch "a major provocation, threatening not only the security of the Korean Peninsula, but that of the region and the United States as well."

Kim Jong Un must be shaking in his boots, not out of fear, but from laughing out loud.

Right now, all this huffing and puffing reminds me of the Symbicort ad on TV where the wolf cannot blow down the pigs’ house. Before our enemies will heed our warnings, our military will have to have a hefty dose of’Symbicort”, that is it will have to have a “significant Improvement,” as the ad says, to reverse the watering down of our armed forces, especially our ground forces, in recent years.
