North Korea's nuclear test is a "matter of grave concern," President Obama said Monday, as officials in Washington accused the rogue regime of blatantly defying the international community.
The communist country said it had carried out a powerful underground nuclear test, much larger than one conducted in 2006. The regime also test-fired three short-range, ground-to-air missiles later Monday from the same northeastern site where it launched a rocket last month, the Yonhap news agency reported, citing unnamed sources.
The twin moves were roundly condemned in Washington.
"These actions, while not a surprise given its statements and actions to date, are a matter of grave concern to all nations," Obama said in a written statement, calling them an apparent violation of international law. "North Korea's attempts to develop nuclear weapons, as well as its ballistic missile program, constitute a threat to international peace and security."

The main constitutional job of the President is to protect the US from enemies as Commander in Chief. Instead of concentrating on that function, the presidency has evolved into one of policy making and social engineering. Health care reform, Cap and Trade etc. are not what the presidency is supposed to be concentrating on. If the President of the US was chosen specifically for their ability and commitment to keep the US safe, the political process would be much different, and in my opinion we’d be much better off. The presidency should never have become inflated to the point it is today.
No. Lets appease them and given them MORE aid. That will show them the error of their ways and they’ll stop. [/sarc]

The Democrats are always saying they're going strengthen this, or strengthen that. Just once, I'd like to see some reporter ask how, exactly, will that strengthening be accomplished. Make the 'Rats give us specifics.
I'm dreaming ... I know.
Bush Axix of Evil: Iran, Iraq, North Korea.
Obama Axis of Evil: Corporations, Producers, Individual Liberty.
Barry fails again ping
Omouse has them really scared!
Obama wants this just like every other ultra-leftist anti-nationalist.
...and the limp-wristed panty wastes at the UN will reach down, grab their crotches and remember that they don’t have a pair.
I never really believed Democrats were anti-war. They were anit-Republican. When they were all sitting on the side line making it difficult for President Bush to do things on the international stage they never thought about what was going to happen when a Democrat got into office.
They can attempt to blame the previous administration all they want, but if one of those insane nations actually uses one of these devices the blame will be theirs.
Unfortunately that will be of little comfort to the millions that will die in the initial attack and the war that follows.
Just like the so-called “Anti-War” Vietnam protesters weren’t anti-war, they just thought that we should have been fighting on the side of the Viet Cong.
I want everyone to note that North Korea’s does have weapons of mass destruction as noted by the Obambi White House.
Should any military action become necessary in 2013 when there’s a Republican in the WH please note that Democrats confirmed the presence of nuclear weapons in North Korea.
O’fagboy is a pussy. The last thing the USA needs is a fairy Commander in Chief.
Bombs away, eh Zero?
don’t forget to say “pretty please”
You know, I agree with you but I don’t say it much - but I fear that we are on a path to destruction from which we’ll never recover.
I believe that the anti-religious vacuum promoted by the liberals will be filled by those who beliefs are so strong they will die for them.
I wonder if the ACLU will enjoy being ruled from a mosque. it’s always seemed to me that if they and those like them get what they want they won’t be allowed to complain any longer and I’m not sure why they haven’t figured this out.
I want to hear the reaction to this test from someone who actually knows what the hell he is talking about: Paging John Bolton!!
I will loose the white house press corpse on you and ruin your reputation.
