SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map as Washington and its allies watched for signs the regime will launch a series of missiles in the coming days.
Off China's coast, a U.S. destroyer was tailing a North Korean ship suspected of transporting illicit weapons to Myanmar in what could be the first test of U.N. sanctions passed to punish the nation for an underground nuclear test last month.
The Kang Nam left the North Korean port of Nampo a week ago with the USS John S. McCain close behind. The ship, accused of transporting banned goods in the past, is believed bound for Myanmar, according to South Korean and U.S. officials.
The new U.N. Security Council resolution requires member states to seek permission to inspect suspicious cargo. North Korea has said it would consider interception a declaration of war and on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking to provoke another Korean War. "If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all," the official Korean Central News Agency said.

As much as I hated having McCain represent the GOP during the last election, I somehow doubt that Kim-Jon Mentally Ill would be making this boast if McCain was in the White House, rather than the Jimmy Carter-like Obama.
It’s a damned good thing I’m not President...
North Korea would become a land safe for dogs again...
And, you may ask - “Why are you not President”...
I would answer: “Because my parents were married prior to conception and I have a BIRTH CERTIFICATE proving I’m a natural born citizen...
Send in Team America./Just Asking - seoul62........
Maybe i missed it, but did anybody ask a question about North Korea at the press conference the other day.. Seems to me when a country with nuclear weapons is threatening to destroy us, and intelligence officials were claiming they believed they were gonna shoot a missile at us, that the story would be bigger..
We need more UN Resolutions!
Just when you think N. Korea can’t possibly be any more belligerent, they find a way to do so.
If NKorea does launch any more missles, they should be shot down. Not only will this send a message to them it would be good practice for our and other countries anti-missle programs. A threat like this is an act of war, make no mistake about it. We’ll see if Obama has the guts to stand up them when the boots hit the ground.
The Bride of Chunkie...or is it chuckie? LOL...
Both candidates were fools...and demonstrably traitors.
The ONLY justification to vote for McCain - was in the hope he would meet an early demise and allow Palin to become President.
Undoubtedly an uncontrolled outburst brought on by 8 years of torture and mental abuse by George W. Bush.
I’m sure our fearless follower in chief will soon placate this tin horn dictator and all will be well and we can all enjoy our ice cream cones.
Pardon me while I feel the sudden urge to go and sniff the flowers.
NKorea wants a war. That’s all they live for. Look at their whole society......it’s built around their military.
“Seems to me when a country with nuclear weapons is threatening to destroy us, and intelligence officials were claiming they believed they were gonna shoot a missile at us, that the story would be bigger..”
There was a time in America when things made sense. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’m living in bizzaro world. I take it one day at a time now, because I know at least 52% of my countrymen are retarded and self destructive.
We need a cowboy back in the WH pronto!
