WASHINGTON - The White House said on Thursday it was consulting with the U.N. Security Council as well as South Korea's neighbors after an investigation showed North Korea torpedoed one of Seoul's warships.
| That'll show the Norks, eh Gibbsie? |
| South Korea's neighbors... that'd be China and Japan, yes? Those consultations will certainly be interesting. |
"We're in consultation with a host of different entities," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters when asked whether the United States would support any push for new U.N. sanctions on Pyongyang.
| "Entities". Like NGOs and things? Why consult them? |
Asked whether Washington was concerned about North Korea's threat of war if South Korea sought to impose sanctions, Gibbs said he would not deal with "hypotheticals." |
