| #5 list of individuals and entities subject to new U.N. sanctions? I hit translate but it didn't do anything. Walk softly and carry a wet noodle? |

| #3 Nothing they do has teeth. That's why Obama likes them; they will ultimately not hurt his buddies, the dictators. |

| #2 It's a coward's way out, make an insincere gesture that you can quickly renounce when conditions warrant. Look tough do nothing, The Obama way. |

| #1 Better stop "eying" them and and start issuing some. Do they honestly believe the NorKs are going to modify their behavior over vague reference to member countries are "considering" something? North Korea seems to be in "hostage accumulation" mode at the moment to collect up bargaining chips. |
