U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Friday that if diplomacy fails on North Korea, she has no problem letting Secretary of Defense James Mattis take the fight to Pyongyang.
“I have no problem kicking it to General Mattis,” Haley said at a White House press conference, explaining that despite diplomatic efforts and strong UN sanctions, the North Koreans “continue to be provocative.”
The U.S., together with its international partners, has been pursuing a diplomatic solution to the North Korea problem while maintaining that “all options are on the table.” The Trump administration has repeatedly demonstrated that it is willing to exhaust all diplomatic options before applying military force, but the diplomatic window appears to be closing.

Nikki has been outstanding so far. Quite the surprise.
Neocons get all dewy at the thought of going to war.
As far as the flag...Too late..Would she make the same decision today? Was her heart in that decision or was it a way to put out the flames.
It’s good to have some no nonsense people in an administration that put America first.
Takes a big man to admit that.
Well, not for me. I do it about three times a day :) It’s become habit.
She is doing an excellent job.
Ironically, if she had made the right decision then, her appointment would have been met with MUCH more resistance than it was.
Life in US politics is crazy.
Yep!
If the little mutt keeps pushing it he will basically be making that decision himself.
I don’t know it sounds tough but can it be construed as a red line, they are careful not to use those words, it could be a strategy; President Trump doesn’t like to broadcast intentions and I think that’s a good thing but how many second chance warnings does NK get before we are construed to be responding in weakness, it just may be we will see something happen this weekend as far as I’m concerned that would be prudent and proper.
All the usual suspect nations will be very vocal in condemnation but that will be all and the message will be sent loud and clear to the other threatening nations; don’t be fooled we still hold all the cards, jokers are not wild they are tossed to the side.
What if NK hits our country or ship and Trump fights back...will congress impeach him? Will they find a judge to rule it illegal to defend ourselves?
“Neocons get all dewy at the thought of going to war.”
Dumb statement. The vast majority of our wars were started by liberal Democrats. Go read history for once, ya ignorant slob.
So neocons don’t like war?
I’m confused /s
Pull till ya hear a pop, goron.
Go Nikki!
Why? I thought you liked your head up your ass. I think I’ll just leave it there.
“So neocons don’t like war?”
What’s a neocon? Some kind of third-grader term?
We conservatives have been around since the beginning of this nation. They were called Founding Fathers.
Again, go study history ya ignorant slob.
neocons-rinos are terms used to describe leftists who have infiltrated the Republican party.
“The best way to control the opposition is to run it ourselves”-Vladimir Lenin
See Bill Kristol, Krauthummer, McStain, Graham, Nikki Haley, etc, ad nauseam.
The “Neocon” thing is a typical ad hominem non sequitur. It is as obnoxious as the idiots who call people Nazis or Fascists because their arbitrary and misguided feelings are threatened.
