Update on the details:

UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council on Saturday voted unanimously to impose sanctions against North Korea in response to the country's claimed nuclear test.

The vote was scheduled soon after negotiators agreed on the sticking point of cargo inspections, the language over which China had expressed some concerns earlier.

Rather than mandating stop and search operations, "the resolution will say to countries to inspect as necessary all goods going in and out of North Korea," CNN's Richard Roth reported.

However you word it, that means stop and inspect. North Korea will not like it.

Looks like Bolton did not do too badly. This is about the best I was expecting out of the UN. I was certainly not expecting any hint of "stop and inspect" to make it through. It looks like the Chinese and Russians saved face by changing "language".

I suspect the United States will find it necessary to stop and inspect quite a bit. We shall see how North Korea will react.
