Back in  the day as such things went, we didn\u0092t spend a lot of time on a breaking  story that had scant information. All of that went south with the  advent of the world-wide web.<\/p>\n<p> I\u0092ve found that with the net being what it is many times, sources can  be searched before the various authorities involved can move in and  sanitize the story. An example of that was the South Korean corvette  that was sunk. Looking around I noticed immediately that very early  mention had said the ship had been torpedoed. Within hours it had been  scrubbed, reports had been changed to possible floating mines. Reports  about a reaction and communication between the Obama White House and the  South Korean Government also disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/skipmaclure.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/skoreanvessels.jpg\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/skipmaclure.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/skoreanvessels.jpg?w=450&amp;h=265\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSouth  Korean Naval Vessels Search For Survivors And Bodies From The &#8216;Cheonan&#8217;<\/p>\n<p> Obama had to muzzle the Koreans. If in fact it was a torpedo, it was a  deliberate open act of war by the North. The North and South have had  minor clashes going back to the end of the Korean War. This is  different. This was a warship inside of South Korean waters. Forty six  crewmen were lost. Since the initial stories, the focus has remained on  the ship either having some sort of internal issue resulting in an  explosion, or the mine story. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/south_korea%E2%80%A6_shut_and_smile\" ><b> read more &amp;raquo;<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/south_korea%E2%80%A6_shut_and_smile\" >http:\/\/www.conservativeoutpost.com\/s&#8230;shut_and_smile<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>04.05.10 10:01 AM posted by Skip MacLure Barack Obama has such a touch with allies\u0085 especially allies who have very big, very tough sworn enemies breathing down their necks.
