UN consults on N Korea missile
The US ambassador to the United Nations has said that his country is consulting with fellow members of the UN Security Council on possible steps if North Korea tests a missile. "Right now we are in consultation with various members of the council on what steps might be taken because it obviously would be very serious," John Bolton told reporters at UN headquarters on Monday. "But in any event we are just now in the preliminary consultations phase," he said.
What phase will they be in if they launch tomorrow afternoon? And what phase will they be in if they obliterate Boise? Why am I getting the impression that talk on the subject is considered rather low in price?
Bolton's comments came after the United States, Japan and other countries warned North Korea against a missile launch as some officials said Pyongyang appeared to have finished fuelling for a test flight of a missile that could possibly reach as far as Alaska. South Korean broadcaster YTN cited officials in Seoul as saying a launch of the North's Taepodong-2 missile was imminent.
