My Way News - NKorea warns US of 'thousand-fold' military action
AP reports: "North Korea warned Wednesday of a 'thousand-fold' military retaliation against the U.S. and its allies if provoked [...] The warning, carried by the North's state media, came hours after President Barack Obama declared North Korea a 'grave threat' to the world and pledged that new U.N. sanctions on the communist regime will be aggressively enforced."

Comment: While the world remains fixated on Iran the storm clouds are gathering over North Korea. It is only a matter of time before Obama faces a moment of decision, order a North Korean ship to be boarded to search for weapons, or let it go on its way. The sanctions and interdiction procedures are in place but the political will has so far not been tested...yet.
