With all the soldiers being in Iraq and stuff...

No. No way, no how.
If the US can't beat peasants on donkey carts in iraq, there is no way they could pull off a military victory in North Korea without resorting to nukes.

No. The US has far too many troops spread in conflict across the world that it has intigated. Perhaps a word to the wise would be to finish movement in those conflict zones first before throwing themselves headlong into another war. There isn't the man power, nor money budget to handle another war. I could see it being another Viet Nam. Whilst the military might of the US is unmatched, the application of the task force could be its downfall. Whilst the dropping of bombs will win a war short-term, its the clean up operation that becomes the real issue.

We're about as far away from military action in North Korea as we've been since the end of the Korean War. We just agreed to give NK aid and unfreeze their money if they close down their nuke program.
Right now, a war would be easily won. NK can't afford ammunition or jet fuel for their air force, the only thing they have is their nukes.

No. NK has a far larger army, and whilst it couldn't nuke mainland USA, it could attack American bases or cities in S. Korea with nuclear weapons. North Korea may not have good military equipment and technology, but it's got over a million soldiers, and America would certainly run into serious money problems.

Absoutely.
As long as that war stays conventional - meaning no nukes, military on military action, with the typical measures of war being in place. OH yeah...we leave the politics out of war and leave the TV cameras at home. Just let the soldiers and marines do what they are trained to do.
The object of war is to kill as many of them, blow up as much stuff of theirs, and otherwise destroy their ability to wage war in the shortest time possible. I think we could just tear them up.

We can win any war if we use our nuclear weapons. But, that is not what we should do. Right now we can't fight another war other than the one we are because we are spread so thin and eventually, it would completely deplete our economy.
