BEIJING (AP) — U.S. Senator John McCain urged China on Thursday to take a firmer stand against North Korea following Pyongyang's latest rocket firing, saying Beijing had more leverage than any other country to influence the North's behavior.

The Arizona Republican said stronger measures were needed in response to Sunday's launch, including sanctions at the U.N. Security Council. Both Beijing and Washington are veto-wielding permanent members of the body.

"I want to say very frankly what we all know, and that the nation that has true influence over North Korea" is China, McCain said in remarks to reporters following meetings with China's foreign and defense ministers and the head of the national legislature.

ROAR!

McCain knows that the ChiComs are controlling the strings on their N. Korean puppet.

The ChiComs allow, or even push N. Korea to do what they wish that they could do, only they want to make nicey nice with the international community, so they let N. Korea do their dirty work.

In other news, Churchill calls on Himmler to crack down on the SS...

Get tough? The chinese right wing, the same ones that tested GWB with the patrol plane takedown and Hussein with the patrol boat takedown, they call the shots. China is hardly a monolith of unified power. The military part does it’s thing independent of the civilian politic, or so it would seem. NK is the perfect foil for American ambition in the region. The chinese would like us out of there, like, yesterday.

[eekitsagreek]

NKorea fires missiles;
Obama fires CEOs;

Please, please, please, Juan, just GO AWAY!

The picture of him standing against the flag of Communist China is priceless.

[calcowgirl]

[rabscuttle385]

Yes. LOL.
