As a nuclear North Korea proves once again that it’s improving its technology and moving close to marrying a small nuclear device with a more powerful rocket, the United States’ initial reaction Tuesday was a big ho-hum.
Asked Tuesday morning whether she expects a strong condemnation from the United Nations, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said: “We’ll do the usual drill.”
It was a surprising response to an international incident that was largely seen as a threat to the U.S. and one that prompted the U.N. Security Council to call an emergency meeting of world representatives.
“I don’t know how you come up with a more dangerous scenario than this,” Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” said on Fox News. “This is a very bad dynamic for us.”
North Korea’s nuke test reportedly shows a major advancement in their weapons program, both in miniaturization and weaponization.
Dear g-d, my local Arby’s manager is better equipped to be Ambassador. Than Susan Rice.
“…U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said: “We’ll do the usual drill.””
Oh no! Not….the Strongly-Worded Letter!
GASP! Surely something less severe is called for!

Evidently, if you enter neither name nor email on PJM comments prior to submitting, they post anyway as “Anonymous”.
Did Susan Rice choose the government’s “Congratulations on Your New Nuclear Detonation!” card from the card rack, or did Barack Obama decide for once not to outsource and to select it himself?
were her comments in anyway, in response to any video?
….Grooaannn……is she still around?….I’d forgotten all about that Susan Rice. Equal opportunity mediocrity redux.
would feel more confident if the reply came from condoleezza .
– will do nuthin’.
As a resident of California, I would prefer that they take this threat of a missile strike on US territory a bit more seriously. Gee, first Obama wants to deprive us of a means to defend ourselves from local criminals and now it doesn’t look like he intends to use the means at the federal government’s disposal to protect us from foreign thugs.
