SEOUL, South Korea – The United States will not use force to inspect a North Korean ship suspected of carrying banned goods, an American official was quoted as saying Friday.

"The U.N. resolution lays out a regime that has a very clear set of steps," (Defense Undersecretary Michele) Flournoy said, according to the Yonhap news agency. "I want to be very clear ... This is not a resolution that sponsors, that authorizes use of force for interdiction."

"Everything remains on the table, but we're focused on implementing the resolution fully, responsibly and with our international partners," she said.

Yeah, well BFD. The resolution is toothless.

You would think that there may be some old mines left over from WWII that would just happen to float to the surface every so often.

UN doesn’t have the stones God gave a My First Aquarium. We in the US haven’t many either, or we’d be evicting them instead of subsidizing them.

Oh yes, by all means, let’s not use force — AND LET’S MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT WE WON’T. What a bunch of idiots.

Yep. Just follow it around like a freakin lap dog

[Kartographer]

Maybe if we asked real nice? Or maybe if we told them that we would have ACORN to the inspection?

A famous quote from a famous movie:

I'm shocked.

Our civilized dependency on the U.N. to decide what steps our Navy takes to insure the safety of the Free World will be the end of civilization.
