Gosh. Let me think about this.<\/p>\n

Sony Pictures gets ready to debut a movie depicting the attempted assassination of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un; the North Koreans reportedly hack into Sony’s computer system, causing it to crash; the United States blames the North Koreans for the cyber attack; President Obama then says there will be a “proportional” response to the North Korean effort to bully Sony.<\/p>\n

Then, today, North Korea’s Internet system goes down virtually throughout the nation.<\/p>\n

Coincidence? Or is this the retaliation that President Obama said would come?<\/p>\n

Hmm. I’m guessing it’s more than mere coincidence.<\/p>\n

These things just don’t happen with such amazing timing, do they?<\/p>\n

Kim Jong-Un may have picked a fight with the wrong adversary.<\/p>\n

Don’t expect the CIA, the Pentagon, the White House, the Homeland Security Department — anyone — to own up to it. As I’ve noted already, Americans do not need to know everything that happens behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
