A key Republican lawmaker on Thursday urged President Obama to launch a cyber attack against North Korea, or increase international sanctions against the communist country, in the wake of an unknown hacker’s denial-of-service attacks on U.S. and South Korean websites.
Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Michigan), the lead Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said the U.S. should conduct a “show of force or strength” against North Korea for a supposed role in a round of attacks that hit numerous government and commercial websites this week.

Last month Rep. Pete Hoekstra spoke with NBC"s
Andrea Mitchell about comparing Kim Jong-il and
U.S. president Obama with Lucy and Charlie Brown.
Rep. Hoekstra said North Korea pulls the ball before
America gets a chance to kick it when negotiations fail.Everybody should launch cyber attacks, not just the
United States. Why can't we get our friends over in the
Netherlands Antilles to launch attacks from their islands?
America needs to be more creative and send faxes too. - 2 years ago
