U.S. intelligence has detected the departure from a North Korean port of a North Korean ship suspected of carrying military equipment banned under a U.N. sanctions resolution against Pyongyang's Oct. 9 nuclear test, CBS News reported Thursday.

The United States is tracking the ship, CBS said, noting that it remains uncertain exactly what the ship is carrying and where it is headed.

OK,that's fine.But I ask again....in today's climate what does all this *really* mean?

It means that those countries that voted for the resolution three days ago will not likely complain.

does this mean they are tracking it physically with our ships, or just monitoring it on radar and what not

Looney Tunes has already said he'd consider that an act of war. Are we ready to see him try to flatten Seoul, nuke Tokyo, Honolulu and Seattle? If so, board and search. I'm with 'ya. If not, stall.

Considering the SKs are hoping that they'll get Krazy Kim the Younger's arsenal intact (presumably so they can nuke Tokyo), I'm down with a flattened Seoul. I doubt, however, that NK's nukes can make it to Tokyo.

Intentional leak to the media, lets NK and the world know that we're watching them and know they're probably trying to test the resolution. Gives NK a chance of turning around the ship without the need for a messy confrontation. Any number of reasons.

You wait...the usual suspects,foreign and domestic,will find a way.

After all,George Walker Bush *is* the most dangerous man to have ever walked the earth.

The Chinese have already essentially reneged on the resolution by announcing they will not enforce it. The South Koreans are refusing to cut their economic ties with the North, ensuring that Kim Jong Il will not run out of money anytime soon. I'd say it's a safe bet that the Russians are also looking at ways they can get around the resolution as well.

Believe me, if we do anything to this ship, we will once again be doing it alone, while the rest of the world, the media and the left will accuse us of "provoking" North Korea.

"This is a resolution we have to implement," Chinese UN Ambassador Wang Guangya told reporters earlier.

"The question was raised whether China will do inspections. Inspections yes, but inspection is different then interdiction and interception. I think different countries will do it different ways," Wang said.

I did read the resolution, and there is no mechanism that allows inspection on the high seas (thanks ChiComs/Russians Soviets).

What will tighten everyone up is if Japan stops this ship on the high seas and demands to search IAW the UN resolution.

Could get real interesting real fast..
