tting North Korea back on its list of terrorism sponsors, after the hacking of Sony Pictures, reports the BBC.

Speaking on CNN, Obama said a decision on the issue would be taken after a review, though he stressed that the attack was considered “an act of cyber-vandalism, not of war.”

He said officials in Washington would examine all the evidence to determine whether North Korea should be put back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.

"I'll wait to review what the finding are," Obama said, adding that he did not think the attack "was an act of war".

North Korea had been on the U.S. list for two decades until the White House removed it in 2008, after Pyongyang agreed to full verification of its nuclear sites.

The FBI announced on Friday that North Korea was responsible for the cyber-attack on Sony Pictures.

Let China annex them and send the leaders all to penal colonies. North Koreans would thank them, whenever they get over it and realize that they’re getting a bowl of rice every other day instead of once a week.

I wonder if Zip’s terror list is written on a “memorandum” without any suspense date.

No one seems to be asking the question but why is it okay for a USA company to make movies about the assassinations of foreign leaders?

Is it okay for them to post images of killing an American leader online?

Sony is an irresponsible liberal company that has a double standard. It’s okay for them to joke about the assassination of a foreign leader but it would be wrong for another nation to ban homosexual relations or anything demeaning of islam or race.

China won’t do that. They’re joined at the hip with this psycho mass murderer.

By any definition this was an act of war. Whether it was the Norks who did this or not.

Or we may not. It depends on what his Magic 8 Ball says.

0bama doesn’t consider sending thousands of rifles to drug cartels in Mexico a terrorist act of war why would he consider this a terrorist act of war?

What exactly are the consequences of “being on the terror list” for a country that has no trade with the USA anyway?

Right - I believe a case can be made that North Korea is and has always been a client state of China.

North Korea has committed multiple acts of war since 1953. The Pueblo and DMZ tree incidents are a couple of examples. The Cheonan sinking and shelling of Yeonpyeong Island are more recent instances. I don’t believe the Sony hack is anywhere in the same league and really qualifies.
