The US has given warning to North Korea that it will ‘pay a price’ for its aggression after it launched two more missiles a day after an underground nuclear test.
Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the United Nations, issued the warning amid an increasingly bitter stand off between Washington and Pyongyang and as the UN Security Council discussed what further action could be taken to stem North Korea’s belligerence.
A surface-to-air missile and a surface-to-ship missile were fired from North Korea’s east coast on Tuesday, just hours after President Barack telephoned the leaders of South Korea and Japan to reassure them that he would protect them in the event of any attack.

The North Korean government said that it was clear that America’s “hostile policy” of the Bush era had not changed.
“Our army and people are fully ready for battle … against any reckless US attempt for a pre-emptive attack,” it said in a statement.

This “new America” has me pulling for the North Korean Govt. Im finding myself rooting for the enemies of this and the last several administrations, all the way back to JFK. The other day I took a couple guys on a ride to their hotel. They said they were “Columbians”,and were verrry suspicious. I said to myself, well it’s a shame that I wouldn’t even think of turning them into the DHS, because they’re now MY ENEMY TOO, since Im a constitutionalist being labeled by DHS a “rightwing extremist” and considered a “top threat” according to their latest report. Deep down I guess this evil goverment has turned me into a sympathist for the 3rd world countries as I dont see them as half the threat that my own goverment is become. I doubt very seriously I would ever even consider turning in ANYONE, No matter what I percieved they were about to do, as long as it didnt involve me I say lettem destroy it if they can, because there’s not many true Americans left here that are smart enough to see whats happening and certainly not worth saving. We need to start over for it’s the only way to get rid of the vermon that has taken over our once great land. The homosexuals are simply spoiled people with too much time on their hands and not enough hard work that real men do.

Ok, so how is this “aggression”? The DPRK hasn’t set foot on the soil of another country. It hasn’t shot at any other country. All it has done is develop its strategic and tactical military capabilities. Is it right that Israel, Pakistan, India, China, France, Russia and the United States can have thousands of nuclear missiles, while no other country is allowed to arm its military with these weapons? It would be better for the world if neither the DPRK nor any other country developed these weapons, but while some countries reserve the right to build nukes (and to use them pre-emptively, under the bonkers Bush/Cheney doctrine), surely it is to be expected that other countries will look for strategic capabilities to deter them?
Here is what the DPRK said back in 2003 about the policy they were responding to (take them at their word or doubt their intentions, but this is what they say about their own thinking on the subject):
The United States, which is restless with its ambition to conquer the
world, deployed the Honest John nuclear missiles for action in South
Korea in the latter half of the 1950’s, which created a nuclear issue.
Moreover, it introduced neutron shells, which are the devilish weapon of
the 20th century, there in the first half of the 1980’s, which has
further highlighted the graveness of the nuclear issue.
The United States has pursued the so-called NCND policy, under which
it neither confirms nor denies the deployment of nuclear weapons.
However, it has not tried to conceal the fact that it deployed nuclear
weapons in South Korea but used it as a means to threaten us.
US Secretary of State Dulles, during a news conference in 14 May
1957, officially hinted at the plan to introduce nuclear weapons to South
Korea, and on the same day, Defense Secretary Wilson gave more detail to
this plan and admitted that the types of nuclear weapons included Honest
John’s and various other types of nuclear weapons deployed in Europe —
AP
On 15 July 1957, the US Army authorities officially announced that
the US forces in South Korea would start nuclear arming and that five
combat units capable of waging an atomic war would be deployed in South
Korea — Tongyang News Agency, from Washington
On 3 February 1958, the US forces put on display two units of each of
the 280mm atomic cannon and Honest John nuclear missile, which had been
deployed in South Korea, in an airfield of the US 1st Corps near Uijongbu
and made them public to reporters — Tongyang, Reuters, and Haptong
News Agency
On 16 December 1958, the United States announced through the UN
Command that the UN forces in South Korea were equipped with Matador
missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads — Reuters from Seoul
During a news conference on 20 June 1975, US Secretary of Defense
Schlesinger said: We think you know that we have deployed tactical
nuclear weapons in South Korea — Jiji from Washington
According to a Haptong News Agency report filed from Washington in
June 1975, during a House of Representative meeting to examine the US
defense budget for 1976 held on 30 May 1975, it was officially revealed
that approximately 1,000 nuclear weapons and 64 aircraft loaded with
nuclear weapons had been deployed in South Korea.
South Korea has been turned into, literally, the biggest US nuclear
[weapons] exhibition hall [haekchonsijang].
The January 1981 edition of Defense Monitor, a magazine published by
the US Defense Intelligence Center, notes that the nuclear shells
introduced to South Korea included 80 warheads for Honest John missiles,
192 tactical nuclear bombs for fighter-bombers, 152 nuclear shells for
155 howitzers, and 56 nuclear shells for eight-inch howitzers.
The United States even deployed for action in South Korea 56 neutron
bombs, the variety which countries in Europe and other areas had refused
to allow deployment of and introduced even a large number of field
portable nuclear backpack devices.
According to a US Defense Department announcement reported by Hanguk
Ilbo on 15 July 1985, the United States deployed a (Wensu) nuclear
missile battalion in South Korea, becoming the first such overseas base,
except for Europe.
Turning South Korea into a nuclear base has rendered it into a
direct and crucial threat to peace not only on the Korean peninsula, but
to Asia and the rest of the world.
The gravity of the nuclear threat to our Republic was further
increased by the nuclear weapons development maneuvers of South Korea’s
Yusin [former ROK President Pak Chong-hui's "Revitalizing Reforms"]
regime. In the early 1970s, the Yusin regime invited nuclear physicists
from the United States and promoted the purchase of atomic reactors from
many countries.
In 1976, [the Yusin regime] founded the Atomic Power Technology
Corporation and the Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation. It began to
build a large-scale research facility for developing atomic power
technology in the central region [of South Korea] starting from 1977 —
South Korean monthly Wolgan Choson’s 1983 October edition
In the beginning of 1978 when Kori Atomic Power Plant launched
operations, South Korea had already obtained the capability of annually
extracting 139 to 167 Kilograms of plutonium 239. Such an amount is
enough to manufacture 23 to 28, 20-kilo tonne-class nuclear bombs —
South Korean magazine International Affairs No. 2 in 1985
In its report entitled Nuclear Proliferation and US Diplomatic
Policy, which was made public on 9 November 1980, the US Brookings
Institute noted that South Korea and Japan could possess nuclear weapons
within the next ten years.
The aforementioned facts historically prove that the United States
has long deployed nuclear weapons in South Korea and incessantly posed a
nuclear threat to our Republic, by instigating even South Korean
bellicose elements.

Ah, ha, a North Korea? Isn’t that a state just above Idaho? I say smoke-em out of their cave, and don’t mess with Texas.

What f*cking aggression
Big bully boy USA venting it’s spleen at a country that wouldn’t do what it said!
I don’t particularly want Nth Korea with nukes, but, what countries has it invaded lately…..what minority groups has it violently repressed, lately.
Whilst not exactly rooting for the Nth Koreans, the USA and it’s allies and fellow big bullies are not exactly paragons of virtue over all this!
May 26th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Yes you naughty North Koreans.
Obuma is going to come over and give you a dam good thrashing with a wet lettuce.

It’s idiotic statements like this that cause North Korea to justify their own statements and actions.
Why can’t we just leave them alone?
May 27th, 2009 at 7:04 am
i’ve hopscotched around various internet sites and have seen the headlines, ” north korea major nuclear threat” backed by a picture, and that picture is? none other than a test nuke set off by peace loving america.
peace loving america would never invade a sovereign nation that didn’t pose a threat to america’s peace loving ways.
north korea has proven over time it’s leader is a “madman” and been knocked back by free loving nations from imposing their military might. whilst dignified gentlemen of the US and UK governments and especially their presidents and prime ministers (who could never be classified as madmen) ahem, have shown tolerance and understanding in the pursuit of peace
