Showdown on Pacific: U.S. tracking North ship
Joong Ang Daily
Friday, June 19, 2009
As the Obama administration tries to ensure that the latest United Nations Security Council resolution is enforced, the U.S. Navy yesterday was tracking a North Korean vessel suspected of carrying weapons materials, U.S. government officials said.
While Fox News reported that the ship called the Kang Nam left a North Korean port Wednesday and appeared to be heading toward Singapore, CNN said the ship was in the Pacific. Fox and CNN both reported that the ship, which could be carrying missile parts or nuclear materials, flew the North Korean flag. A senior official told Fox News, “It is believed to be ‘of interest.’”
Fox and CNN also said, citing officials, that the Kang Nam is “a repeat offender.” It was reportedly detained in October 2006 by Hong Kong authorities after North Korea’s first nuclear test.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
The Kang Nam is the first North Korean ship to be identified as suspect since the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1874 last week which “calls upon” member nations to inspect cargo to and from North Korea suspected of containing restricted materials.
Member states could also inspect vessels on the high seas with the consent of the flag nation. Without such consent, the ship must be directed to an “appropriate and convenient” port for the required inspection. Materials may be seized and disposed of if necessary, but the resolution doesn’t authorize the use of military force.
Citing unnamed sources, Fox News reported that the U.S. military would likely follow the vessel until it pulls into a port to refuel. The U.S. could then request that the host country not supply fuel. The latest UN Security Council resolution orders members not to provide fuel or other supplies to suspect North Korean ships “if they have information that provides reasonable grounds to believe” the ships are carrying banned items.

It’s all a ruse in order to get the eyes off Korea,where the stealth vessel that will carry Al Gore in a one man submarine into N.Korea shoreline.
Then Al Gore will find and free ( with extreme prejudice if necessary ) those two hot Asian chicks that work for his network , Gorevision. Watch for the upcoming GorevisionTV special . “One Man. Three Lives.”
Also at some point the USN. John McCain will be exposed as the Israeli ship Moshe Dylan .
As the actual USN Destroyer is in Neport being refitted to run on Bio Fuel.

you’re a muppet that gets its by lines from MSM, so fuck off ignorant cunt.
June 21st, 2009 at 7:51 pm
I don’t eat McDonald’s either… Because I’m smart enough to know that stuff is poison.
I’m actually quite well informed, and very aware that I live in a country corrupted by a tiny elite.
You are driven by hate, and suffer from small dick syndrome… You and Kimmy Ill would get along nicely. Self righteous @sshole.
I hate Nascar.
June 21st, 2009 at 8:03 pm
predictable as a clock, my cock is none of your worry, where’s the racist epithet to follow your disgraceful ignorance?
you’re not as smart as you think you are, it’s an illusion predicated on the willful ignorance a closed minded cretin such as you.
if you’re so well inform enlighten us of the last great invasion n.korea has attempted?

Korean War
The Korean War refers to a period of military conflict between North Korea (officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) and South Korea (officially the Republic of Korea) with major hostilities beginning on June 25, 1950, pausing with an armistice signed on July 27, 1953. North Korea has since unilaterally withdrawn from that armistice, having announced its intent to do so on May 27, 2009.[24] The conflict arose from the attempts of the two Korean powers to re-unify Korea under their respective governments. The period immediately before the war was marked by escalating border conflicts at the 38th Parallel and attempts to negotiate elections for the entirety of Korea.[25] These negotiations ended when the ****North Korean Army invaded the South on June 25, 1950. **** (there ya go, assmunch) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Under the aegis of the United Nations, nations allied with the United States intervened on behalf of South Korea. After rapid advances in a South Korean counterattack, North-allied Chinese forces intervened on behalf of North Korea, shifting the balance of the war and ultimately leading to an armistice that approximately restored the original boundaries between North and South Korea.
While some have referred to the conflict as a civil war, many other factors were at play.[26] Each side was supported by external powers and the conflict expanded, becoming a proxy war in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. The term has also been used to describe both the events preceding and following the main hostilities.

i don’t know whether to cry or laugh, you can’t be serious? this is a piss take, fuck i can’t stop laughing, are you serious?

June 21st, 2009 at 8:25 pm
I just transferred the entire wikipedia article here… I didn’t waste my time editing it for you. Sorry.
Basically, North and South Korea became two seperate countries in 1945… and North invaded south in 1950, f@ckface. You asked, I delivered. So you were wrong. Deal with it.
And the countries the federal government fucks with… The blood is on their hands, not mine.
What’s your point? Are you lumping all americans with the actions of the fed.
What country are YOU from? I’m sure I could dig up some dirt…
June 21st, 2009 at 8:28 pm
and from wikipedia no less, you’re a hapless moron.
June 21st, 2009 at 8:32 pm
You would have said that no matter what source I cited. I’m done talking to you…
You can’t even hold up a semblance of credibility in my sight.
Get down or lay down, fool.
Ciao.

You’re still a fuckface, though.
