the peninsula remains divided. its them to one of our strongest allies and weren't of the world's most militaristic states. in fact, although north korean, the north korean regime is willing to starve its own citizens, it maintains the world's fourth largest army. north korea has more than 1 million active duty personnel and thousands of artillery systems, tanks, armored personnel carrier, aircraft and surface combatants. more than 70% of north korea's combat power is positioned within 90 miles of the demilitarized zone. this puts our 280,000 troops and 24 million citizens of seoul, the world's fourth largest city, easily within the erratic regime's lethal reach. last month the united states and north korea announced that the regime would stop uranium enrichment and missile testing and aid lew international inspectors to return to north korea's nuclear facility. in exchange for nutritional aid. but two weeks ago north korea said they would launch a long range rocket into space in april. a clear violation of their a

as far as our forces, we have an agreed number of 228,500 on the peninsula. i would recommend given the current conditions as we move towards operational control eventually to in 2015 to maintain that level of force, but i think it is also prudent to always look at our capabilities and make sure we're capabilities based as we have to offset some of the capabilities that they do not have currently. >> all right. thank you very much. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. mr. forbes? >> thank you. mr. chairman, i want to thank you and the ranking member for having this hearing and for your questions on this and one of the things we know in early 2011 secretary of defense then robert gates said that north korean ballistic missiles could pose a threat to the united states within five years. what, if anything, does north korea's upcoming launch of the new rocket tell us about the ballistic missile technology advances, and to your knowledge, are we within four years of north korea fielding a functional intercontinental ballistic missile? >> congressman forbes, firs

and my nominee as man of the year has been criticized for not moving faster up the peninsula. i want you to take just a second. take a look at this. he wasn't getting much help from the local population. union officers were already writing home about the confederate soldiers are not too much of a problem. the confederate women are hard. they're difficult to deal with. they threw stones at us as we marched through williamsburg. think about this. no adequate roads. poor maps. awful weather. how could he have moved much faster? and yet despite all these challenges, by the end of may, they're just outside richmond. you've all heard the anecdote about being so close when the wind is coming from the west they could hear the church bells chiming the time in richmond. not altogether certain that's right. but they were pretty close. richmond airport, seven pines along the richmond york river railroad, the station there, fair oaks station, that was in union hands. today we call it sandston. mechanicsville. the meadow bridges, they were all in union hands. by the end of may. and so joe j

this is the indian ocean peninsula, this is where the tsunami warning is in effect. the magnitude of this is an 8.9. to give you an indication how serious this potentially could be, back in 2004 where we lost 250,000 lives in this area because of a tsunami, that was a 9.1. so this is an 8.9, so this is close in intensity. back in 2004, the depth was 19 miles down into the ground this one was 20 miles into the ground, so it's similar, in a similar location here. that one was maybe further to the north. i'm sure all the sirens are going off in the indian peninsula they all remember what happened in 2004. there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people fleeing to higher ground right now at this hour, all through the indonesian peninsula, through the indian ocean. serious business here, with an.9 magnitude. this will be an indication of the frequency around the globe. usually we see an 8.0 or greater around the entire globe once a year. that's it. usually we get a lot of 7s and 6s which are still serious. 8.9 is at the top of the scale. we'll wait and see if w
