SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea launched tests Tuesday of two more short-range missiles a day after detonating a nuclear bomb underground, a news report said, pushing the regime's confrontation with world powers further despite the threat of U.N. Security Council action.

Two missiles — one ground-to-air, the other ground-to-ship — with a range of about 80 miles (130 kilometers) were test-fired from an east coast launch pad, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unnamed government official.

South Korean spy chief Won Sei-hoon had informed lawmakers earlier Tuesday that a missile test was likely, according to the office of Park Young-sun, a legislator who attended the closed-door briefing.

Yonhap reported that North Korea was preparing to launch a third missile from a west coast site, again citing an unnamed official.

North Korea appeared to be displaying its might a day after conducting an underground atomic test in the northeast that the U.N. Security Council condemned as a "clear violation" of a 2006 resolution banning the regime from developing its nuclear program.

They will keep it up of course, and we will continue to pout and get our resolutions past.

This is similar to last July. Bottom line. Nothing changes.

President Barack Obama vowed to "seek and support a strong United Nations Security Council resolution with concrete measures to curtail North Korea's nuclear and missile activities."

You're right. Nothing.

Thank God we’re not waterboarding 3 more terrorists, though—this Administration has its priorities straight!

Sorry.

Wrong thread.

Hussein will now send an all-caps, bold font style letter to the U.N., expressing his outrage.

Included in the letter will be an apology for the horrible way Bush treated North Korea.

What a difficult position for world leaders these days ... of course, they have to craft a sternly worded letter ... but that isn't enough, and everyone knows it ... no, only a resolution will address this situation ... a stern resolution resolving our resoluteness, crafted with care by the greatest minds in the peace business during a summit in a temperate and exotic location with 5 star accommodations and the world's best caterers ...

My money says he’ll do nothing.

"despite the threat of U.N. Security Council action."

Presisent Obama is said to be “mulling” over the correct response

Yes. His powerful brain is rotating twice as fast as usual. He'll soon have the answer to this problem, which is a mere "speed bump" on the eight-lane freeway to hope and change.

Presisent Obama is said to be “mulling” over the correct response

He'll probably fly over there and personally apologize for the USA being so harsh to North Korea.

Behind the scenes at the White House:

"Ah,man, nobody told me being president was goin' to be like this!"

(Side thought: You know, they say dogs take on the personality of their owners. Seriously, I wonder what kind of dog Bo is turning out to be. Somehow I don't think he's morphing into the friendliest dog in town.)

What about climate change? That’s way more important!

[LibLieSlayer]

Has he publicly blamed Bush for this yet? I despise that little coward.
