US Satisfied With UN Statement on S. Korea Ship Sinking UN does NOT blame N. Korea(

The State Department Friday expressed satisfaction with a U.N. Security Council statement condemning the sinking of a South Korean warship in March, though it stops short of directly blaming North Korea for the attack. A spokesman called North Korean claims of victory on the issue overblown rhetoric.

It condemned the March 26 sinking of the South Korean navy ship the Cheonan, while expressing deep concern over the findings of a South Korean-led inquiry that the ship was sunk by a North Korean torpedo.

The careful wording of the statement is seen as a concession to China, North Korea's neighbor and main benefactor.

That's our "fine, brave" president, knuckle under for N. Korea and China and sell out our allies.

We didn’t lose it, it was given away.

This woke up some of the kids in South Korea. Some of them learned to be vigilant, others learned how to do nothing.

“A spokesman called North Korean claims of victory on the issue overblown rhetoric.”

No, it is a surprisingly level-headed and accurate statement from the North Koreans.

I caught some of susan rices’ statement and I was surprised she found time in her busy social schedule to actually go to work. We pay her how much per year to be comrade freakin’ zeros’ numero uno diplomat.

Justice, equality, fairness......all of these things are not rights, they are merely privileges secured through strength. And we are losing that strength.
