Visitors view a display on North Korea’s missile capability at an observation post in South Korea on Tuesday.

The U.N. Security Council condemned North Korea for carrying out an underground nuclear test on Monday. Pyongyang responded to the criticism by test-launching two short-range missiles, after which the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, said the actions were “clearly provocative” and that North Korea will “pay a price” for them.

In response to the tests, South Korea announced it will join a U.S.-led initiative to curb illegal nuclear trade by monitoring and searching suspect ships. Seoul had resisted joining the effort, fearing it would further antagonize the North.

BBC News:

North Korea will “pay a price” for the nuclear and missile tests it has carried out in recent days, the US ambassador to the UN has said.

Susan Rice said international pressure on North Korea would increase, until it realized the tests had left it “further isolated and further debilitated”.

Her comments come a day after the UN unanimously condemned North Korea for conducting an underground nuclear test.

I’m surprised to even see anything about this on CNNs website, albeit nearly hidden… I mean Eminem and Susan Boyle are way more important to the National Security of the USA than N. Korea planning to launch a long range missile that could hit Alaska right ? Maybe Hillary and Obama aren’t being nice enough to the N. Koreans ? I mean, how come they don’t like us ? Aren’t we hugging them nicely enough ? What a joke !

And americans will act so surprised and perplexed when we suffer through another 9-11.
We don’t have the global licence for telling every other sovereign country whether or not they can have weapons to match the enemy. (enemy would be the U.S.)
This is another of those countries we have kept oppressed and starving by stopping all their commerce.
We are big and tough and our soldiers march like little robots, and know how to kill.
Have bombs will fly-over!

Gotta hand it to those boys and gals in the cia, they did or didn’t see this one coming which proves Chalmers Johnson’s observation that the U.S. has NO intelligence agency and I be dog gone if somehow these clowns will try to get some stupid plan to mimmick North Korea nuking somebody just so we can invade that country.
