Key U.N. members cut final deal over N. Korean resolution
[Kyodo: Korea] Seven key U.N. members on Wednesday struck a final deal over the text of a Security Council resolution over North KoreaĊ½s second nuclear test, featuring additional financial sanctions and the stricter enforcement of North Korean cargo inspections.

The five permanent members -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- plus Japan and South Korea submitted the paper to the 15-member Security Council, which was convened shortly after the deal was cut.
Worse than jello -- the language on sanctions and interdiction is not mandatory, and Chapter VII is not invoked. China won, we lost. Now it's up to Bambi to grow a spine, which I don't see happening.
