Kerry to North Korea: Don't test missile By BRADLEY KLAPPER | Associated Press – 1 hr 18 mins ago

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a stark warning to North Korea on Friday not to test-fire a mid-range missile, while rejecting a new U.S. intelligence report suggesting significant progress in the communist regime's nuclear weapons program.

Kicking off four days of talks in an East Asia beset by increasing North Korean threats, Kerry told reporters in Seoul that Pyongyang and its enigmatic young leader would only increase their isolation if they launched the missile that American officials believe has a range of some 2,500 miles — or enough to reach the U.S. territory of Guam.

"If Kim Jong Un decides to launch a missile, whether it's across the Sea of Japan or some other direction, he will be choosing willfully to ignore the entire international community," Kerry told reporters. "And it will be a provocation and unwanted act that will raise people's temperatures."

Kerry said the test would be a "huge mistake" for Kim.

Thankfully, it is North Korea. HOPEfully, they are as inept as they appaear/

I can just hear Kerry now, speaking in a whiny child’s voice: You better too take me seriously, I served in Vietnam you know!

"John Kerry reporting for duty"...Gag!

[ScottinVA]

Yes... and like you said... the Norks are the “crazy” ones.

Crazy like foxes.

[ScottinVA]

I still believe this is nothing more than one of North Korea’s periodic “PAY ATTENTION TO ME” temper tantrums. In a few days, it’ll fizzle, and Obama will get unwarranted adulation for having faced down this “bitter enemy.”

.... Considering this administrations penchant for extremely over-reactive and poorly acted dramas in response to fabricated and ever changing Crisis-Dejours ..... I just find it quite curious that this whole drama unfolding in North Korea is unfolding merely a month after so called "Secret Meetings" between the US and the DPRK.

..... I can't help but ponder if this whole thing is a choreographed attempt to enable our Dear Leader to rise to the occasion and appear to fearlessly face off with the evil leader of the mighty and powerful DPRK and heroically prevent global thermal nuclear war. Then as we all breath a collective sigh of relief .... show the urgency for the disarming of the world of all nuclear weapons. Then in good trust and to show our seriousness to broker world peace .... move toward the disarming of America.

I heard on NBC this morning that the S. Korean ‘rapper’ Psy is having a concert tonight in Seoul, debuting his newest single. Might this be a ‘target’ for the N. Koreans?

"If Kim Jong Un decides to launch a missile, whether it's across the Sea of Japan or some other direction, he will be choosing willfully to ignore the entire international community," Kerry told reporters. "And it will be a provocation and unwanted act that will raise people's temperatures."

Raise. People's. Temperatures. Let that sink in for a moment..The region stands on the brink of nuclear war, and the best this Bozo can do is state the obvious: millions of Japanese are under threat of frying like bacon. I'm not hearing a down side for the Norks these days. Most significantly, neither do they.

OMG!!! That is so clever!!!

[plain talk]

Kerry / Obama are giving fat boy a way out. They say sternly don’t launch. He ignores them and launches a missile into the sea and “shows them”. Obama says we are just glad no one was hurt but tells NK to never do it again. Fat boy thinks he showed the world how tough he is. Incident over.

[John 3_19-21]

Bush's fault.

Just more symptoms of the failed policies of the republicans that Obama must resolve.

He is better than this.

[Col Frank Slade]

Boy those N Koreans must be shaking in their boots after this warning from JFNK.

“Oh no, we might raise their temperatures if we launch missile”

[Drawn7979]

i hope he returns in one piece....

[envisio]

I wonder what would be happening if Fred Thompson had had the motivation in his campaign and actually won two terms. I wonder what this situation would be like now.

Kim Jong Il: Or else what?

Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
