Caught Red-Handed: The North Koreans, Jimmy Carter's partners-in-peace, were caught shipping Scud missiles to Yemen. Yemen, of course, is a flophouse for Islamist terrorist mercenaries.
According to the
AP and other reports, the United States had the flagless freighter under surveillance from the time it left North Korea.
The Spanish Navy -- still smarting from the thrashing its Armada received at the hands of a woman in 1588 -- intercepted and boarded the Korean vessel about 200 miles off the coast of Yemen. Hidden in the ship the Spanish found Scud missile components. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Navy arrived and joined the Spanish in the search.
When President Bush included North Korea in the Axis of Evil category, conventional wisdom had it that he did so merely to add geographic and cultural balance to the designation and to undermine any suggestion that the U.S. was making war on Islam. Conventional wisdom was, as it often is, wrong.
The cargo of that seized freighter proves that North Korea is making war on the United States and is richly deserving of its Axis of Evil designation.
