In Washington, the Army's top officer, Gen. George Casey, expressed confidence that the U.S. could fight a conventional war against North Korea if necessary, despite continuing conflicts elsewhere.

But Gates, en route to Singapore for regional defense talks, tried to lower the temperature.

"I don't think that anybody in the (Obama) administration thinks there is a crisis," Gates told reporters aboard his military jet early Friday.

WTF??????

I suppose the cozy little chit-chat over a cup of tea the Chosen One talked about didn`t work out?

I remember North Korea's first Missle launch in 2006, I was stationed in South Korea at the time. It was scary knowing that North Korea could attack at anytime and my base was on high alert.

I do agree that the UN needs to take firm actions ASAP, otherwise that ahole leader in N.Korea is just going to get more and more arrogant and start a hostile take over of the rest of Korea.
