South Korea troops on high alert after navy battle:


Article: China Post

Yesterday, the South Korean troops went into high alert after a cross fire engagement with the North Korea. Both Navy met at the west coast, after a short shoot-out with South Korea, the North Korea navy returned to their own sea region after being severely damaged. Both countries accuses each other for constantly crossing the border over the rich crab-fishing area. Earlier in Tuesday morning, a North Korean patrol boat crossed the sea border, South Korean patrol vessels then fired warning shots indirectly to trying and force the boat to return. But later on, the North Korean boat engage fire at the South Korean vessels, so South Korea had no choice but to open fire too, in result, the North Korean patrol boat was heavily damaged, no death casualties were reported. Political tension had boosted so much over the week; Obama will be visiting within a week, and this event just pulled the rope a bit tighter for the three nations. Some Analysts said the clash actually could have been accidental.

North Korea has DONE IT AGAIN! Just after everyone thought a launch of a pacific atmosphere had taken place between the two nations, North Korea blew it again; and this time its over a rich crab-fishing region in the ocean near west coast. North Korea has no body else to blame, how come these unfortunate things' origins always trace back to the NK? Coincidence? don't think so. We all know NK is just a like a time bomb, with the ability of going off anytime without even a slight warning, that is why they are to blame. North Korea wasn't smart either, they tried firing at the South Korean vessels when they have only one patrol boat on site while the South had around four "vessels". Obama was scheduled to meet with the North Korean officials within a week, but now tension had increased at such a rapid and dense pace that Obama's plans might fail himself in act of a pacifier. North Korea has no one to blame but themselves, Kim Jong II will need to either step down or start LONG-TERM negotiations with the outside nations, and set their citizens free (not like the government officials care a slight about their citizens). And if NK continues to act like an unpredictable bomb, the world really needs to start doing something, and the UN (piece of junk) needs to start forming decisions. First, China's leader (Wen Jiabao) and the prime minister of Russia (Vladimir Putin), Both have permanent seats in UN, NEEDS to stop permanently backing up and supplying military resources to the North. Permanent seats in the United Nations NEEDS to come into agreements. Again, a communist country has proved it's lack of trustworthiness and instability. Long Live Anti-Communism!

Italy and NATO Deny Paying Off Taliban

The Times said that Italy paid off the Taliban to keep the peace in parts of Afghanistan patrolled by Italian troops. In mid-2008, French troops took over the Surobi regions after Italy. Shortly after, ten French soldiers were killed, while no attack was reported when Italy was in control. The Times reported that Italy had paid "tens of thousands of dollars" to Taliban commanders in the Surobi district and came to an agreement that they do not attack each other. The newspaper cited Western military officials, including high-ranking officers at NATO, speaking on condition of anonymity. However, the NATO spokesperson and Italy's Premier seriously deny the statement of the Times by saying the report was "groundless". Until now, the "truth" from the report isn't admitted by any involved country and continues to bring down the reputation of NATO (and other countries).

Watch CNN wherever internet is available :)

Instead of watching CNN on TV, now you will also be able to watch on your PCs as long as you have internet connection.

1. Go to CNN.com









2. Click on "Video" on right corner (between "On TV" and "IReport")







3. Click on "Live Video"






4. ENJOY!!! Sometimes it will show the text "We'll be Right Back": this is because the live video option only plays news not like special reports such as "environmental stuff", just pure news for example: Amporour, Anderson Cooper 360, World News, News, Situation Room. So when the "We'll be Right Back" shows up, just wait for like 30 minutes. Another case is when it is playing and when they go into commercial they will show some news and weather slide show, just be patient. ENJOY :D

Obama: Nobel Peace Prize is 'call to action'

This Friday, President Obama stated that he was "deeply" surprised after receiving the news that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize. He told the press later that he doesn't view this as a recognition to his accomplishment, but rather a "motivation" or some sort that will "encourage" him to "act" more. He won the Nobel Peace Prize after taking office as the president for less than a year. He returned to the discussion with the US chief commander of Afghan the following day of the Prize announcement.


Three words for the Norwegian parliament and Obama: What the ****. I mean what's going on, have we lost the true meaning of the "Nobel Peace Prize"? Why are we giving out world-class prizes to a president that accomplished less than... lets say... what he didn't promised us during his election campaign. During the election, he made over 500 promises, and after nearly 1/4 of his presidential career had gone by, 370 of them were still left untouched, only 47 promises were kept, and even 7 promises broken ( reference: PolitiFact). So what I think he should do is "give back" the Prize to the foundation, and then when he had truly achieved "World Peace", then he will be accepted by the citizen to "earn it back" (by the way, the Nobel Prize Winner receives 1.5 million dollars). Long Live Democracy! Long Live African-Americans! Long Live Humanity!!
