Fox host floats idea of Kim Jong-Un assassination as solution to US/North Korean tensions

While considering the continually deteriorating conditions in North Korea, Fox Business host Trish Regan suggested the possibility of assassinating Kim Jong-Un as a solution to solving the ever-escalating conflict between the U.S. and North Korea.

During an appearance on Fox’s “Outnumbered,” Regan expressed her wishes that the United States wouldn’t have to engage in military warfare with North Korea in order to quash the tensions between the two countries and their allies.

“There’s one other option here that we haven’t talked about,” Regan reluctantly began. “I know you’re not supposed to go out … and take out a leader because of international rules, decorum, et cetera, that we have. But if there is a way to get in and get rid of this crazy fat kid … then wouldn’t that do a lot in terms of saving a lot of lives here?”

As TheBlaze reported earlier on Thursday, the deteriorating situation between the United States and North Korea is reaching a boiling point, with White House officials going so far as to devise contingency military plans for use against the communist state.

Just learned that my source is a Glen Beck site.

A very decent DU'er found the story elsewhere, at far cleaner sources:

Why are they not threatening economic sanctions AGAINST THE USA???

250,000 people (MINIMUM) in Seoul would die in the opening CONVENTIONAL salvos of a new war with North Korea...Tokyo is well within range of rockets as well...nuclear attacks seem improbable but not impossible in those theaters as well...

IF I were a citizen of EITHER country, I would be panicked at this point...

I hope she's not referring to the millions of South Koreans who would be obliterated if we did that.

Seriously, do these people even think before opening their mouths?

Why is that even a topic for them? And what the hell qualifies Trish Regan to opine on that subject? Her vast foreign policy experience?
