I say we put Cheney ON the Pueblo and THEN sink her. Beats telling him to go F___ himself.

Let's just sink her (she IS still our property) and tell them "No thanks".

It would perfectly legal since the Korean war has still not officialy ended.

Or, we could threaten to send Cheney there permanently UNLESS they give her back!

It does show that their weakness is the need to have our approval. Great minds should be able to figure out a way to use this. (Old Korean Vet)

Why would they want to return it now? So that they don't have to make a real concession, like human rights.

We certainly don't want diplomatic solutions to our foreign policy problems. Still, I'm all for sending Dick Cheney just about anywhere.

He wouldn't be coming back, would he?

If the USA does decide to send someone "top-level," I'd one suggest one of the following:

1. Secretary of Agriculture. (Given all the food aid we've given them, and their everlasting famine)
2. Secretary of Energy. (Another major need of NK, plus controls the US nuclear labs)
3. Dick Cheney. (why not? And he could be more stoic than the NK)

Each of these sends its own message, and also doesn't leave the impression of diplomatic solutions that sending the Secretary of State would. (And forget sending SecDef). Absent the 3 above, most anyone above Deputy Assistant Undersecretary is more top-level than all of NK.

We should tell them to stick the Pueblo where the sun don't shine.
