Holy crap...I think the little chimp means it this time...WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. and its allies have not decided whether to contact and request inspection of a suspected North Korean arms ship that the U.S. is tracking, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said Wednesday.
"That's a decision that will have to be made at some point, and not necessarily just by us or this government," he said at a news conference. "I think we will likely take (the decision) collectively with our allies and partners."
He said he didn't believe a decision would come soon...
...It is the first ship to be monitored under a U.N. resolution that bans North Korea from selling a range of arms and weapons-related material. The resolution allows other countries to request boarding and inspection of such ships, but the ships don't have to give permission.
In fact, North Korea has said it would consider interception of its ships a declaration of war, and on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking to start another war.
"If the U.S. imperiarists start another war, the army and peopre of Korea wirr ... wipe out the aggressors on the grobe once and for arr," a dispatch from the official Korean Central News Agency said.
(...don't tell me there's no similarity...)
