"The oppressed and impoverished poeple of North Korea..." A good way to end.
Didn't really like all the crap about diplomacy, however.

well he isn't going to say 'we will bomb them' or anything provocative....and IF (big if) there is a chance of pending blockade or military action he isn't going to tell DPRK via this statement before the proper assets are all in place. speak softly and carry a big stick is in the end a better policy than bark loudly before stick is in place.
I still think the only goal the US can pursue at this point is assassination/destabilization of the DPRK government, with the alternatives being nuclear DPRK or a potentially VERY nasty regional conflict.
