| McCain: search Nork Vessel |
| 2009-06-24 |
| A U.S. senator called for the forcible search of a North Korean vessel that is suspected of carrying illicit weapons. Senator John McCain appearing on a CBS program on Sunday said the U.S. military should board the North Korean ship it is tracking if hard evidence shows it is carrying missiles or other cargo that violates UN Resolution 1874. He said if the vessel is indeed carrying such cargo it would contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to countries that pose a direct threat to the United States. |

| #12 Senator John McCain says "John McCain should intercept NORK ship." Naval musings: The John McCain is a Burke class destroyer. The Jimmy Carter is an intelligence sub (the hull is made of pure irony!). Any speculation as to what sort of vessel the Joe Biden will be? |

| #8 It'll be a real shame if a group of (*ahem*) Pirates were to take it over. (hint hint nudge nudge). Can't we issue a Letter of Marque or something? |

| #7 Probably goes without saying, but if they plan to board, which I doubt, I'd recommend keeping US vessels a safe distance away. |

| #6 It's possible. The ship is 'known' as an illicit weapons transporter, though. |

| #5 Possibly a diversion? |

| #2 Senator John McCain says "John McCain should intercept NORK ship." vs. "Joe Biden says Joe Biden loves ice cream." If you don't see the difference, its time to put on a new hat. |
