US President Barack Obama described the North Korean action as a "threat to international peace" and said international action was called for.
Note that Obama said nothing about the US talking unilateral action. For 3 years since the last test the US has been doing nothing to stop Korea from continuing its development of its Nuclear weapons program. The Bush administration started out tough but then went soft and the Obama administration hasn't even taken a stand - too busy on his spending binge to deal with important international events. Later today after he is finished with his Gum-Flapping schedule Obama is supposed to flap his gums some more with some really tough puffing and deep brow furrowing.
Continuing the above BBC story:
Continuing the above BBC story:
In a strongly worded statement, President Obama said the North's pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles threatened peace and was in "blatant defiance of the United Nations Security Council". (That's a big duh they've never paid any attention to the security council in the was and you knew that Obama. Did you deeply furrow your brows and puff your cheeks in mock outrage?)
"The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants action by the international community. We have been and will continue working with our allies and partners in the six-party talks as well as other members of the UN Security Council in the days ahead," his statement said. (Like the International community gives a damn. Obama, I know that you are going to hate hate hearing this, but maybe it is time to Man-up and take charge of the international stage - pull your head out of the books and drop the girly-man personna and lead the charge - otherwise the next headline will be NK launches nukes at South Korea. Talk is cheap (well not entirely true when it comes to domestic issues - $10T and counting!))
