"Former Vice President Walter Mondale says he supports a pre-emptive U.S. strike against a North Korean missile that is raising nuclear fears around the globe." "Analysts do not agree on how far the missile can travel -Jane's Defense, for example, said last year that the Taepodong-2's maximum range was probably about 3,700 miles. A Russian report said it was about 5,600 miles, and an American report suggested 6,200 miles. Other reports have quoted U.S. officials as saying the 116-foot-long missile has a firing range of 9,300 miles. Despite the confusion, Mondale and other former top Democrats are convinced apparently that action is the key to ending the standoff." kare11.com Not surprisingly, Rumsfeld thinks it is a good idea too. washtimes.com

PRESBYTERIANS CAVE TO ISRAEL LOBBY UPI - The Presbyterian Church (USA) has passed a resolution apologizing for the pain caused by a decision two years ago on Israel and Palestine. The General Assembly voted two years ago to divest from companies profiting from Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. The new resolution says divestment should be a last resort and the church should work for reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians, The New York Times reported. . . The resolution included an apology for pain caused to "many members of the Jewish community and within our Presbyterian communion." insider.washingtontimes.com
