| (KUNA) -- US President Barack Obama pledged to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with South Korea, in a call with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak late Tuesday over the situation in the Korean peninsula. President Obama "strongly condemned the attack by North Korea on the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong, which took the lives of at least two Koreans and injured many more," a White House statement said. Obama also offered condolences to the families of those killed or wounded, and to all the Korean people. "President Obama said that North Korea must stop its provocative actions, which will only lead to further isolation, and fully abide by the terms of the Armistice Agreement and its obligations under international law," according to the statement. During their conversation, the two leaders agreed to "hold combined military exercises and enhanced training in the days ahead to continue the close security cooperation between our two countries, and to underscore the strength of our Alliance and commitment to peace and security in the region," according to the White House. |

| #1 Except his right shoulder will be resting against their right should, and his left shoulder will be against their left shoulder. Ideal position to get screwed. |
