A senior U.S. defense official says the Pentagon has delayed an intercontinental ballistic missile test for next week at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California amid mounting tensions with North Korea.
The official says Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel delayed the long-planned Minuteman 3 test because of concerns the launch could be misinterpreted and exacerbate the current Korean crisis.
The official was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.
North Korea's military has warned that it was authorized to attack the U.S. using "smaller, lighter and diversified" nuclear weapons.

Wouldn’t surprise me if 0bama and Kim have manufactured this so-called ‘crisis’ together. Now is EXACTLY the time we should be flexing our ICBM muscles.

Hey, idiots who are ruining America:
Ship them some more foodstuffs, tons of it, and while you’re at it send some more worthless American-Chinese money that we keep printing.
America has become, thanks to the socialist DemocRAT Party, a toothless old fogey tottering on the edge of a grave.

Instead of “The Tea Party”, maybe we should call ourselves “The North Koreans”.
Then they’ll give us anything we want...

The whole episode - since the Jan 2013 ‘war plan’ to the latest leak - is simply $^%**%$%@ dumb.
Obama might as well have been cartooned to virtual “DEEP BOW to the little Kim”.
Sheesh! So ashamed for my country.

Ship them some more foodstuffs, tons of it, and while you’re at it send some more worthless American-Chinese money that we keep printing. Send it by Jimmy Carter and Dennis Rodman.

Once more, America bends over and grasps the ankles to take one (more) in the backdoor, so as to be nice to everyone, and not scare them...
We NEED to scare someone! Especially that chubby, 20-something Dear Leader...
But what can you expect from John F’ing Kerry and the rest of the Obambi regime...
