UNITED NATIONS - The United States proposed stringent U.N. sanctions Monday against North Korea, including a trade ban on military and luxury items, the power to inspect all cargo entering or leaving the country, and freezing assets connected with its weapons programs.
Those proposals were among several ideas for a Security Council resolution that the United States shared with council diplomats after North Korea reported it conducted a nuclear test. A copy of the document was obtained by The Associated Press.
Security council members earlier condemned North Korea, demanding at an emergency meeting that the communist nation return to six-party talks on its weapons program, U.N. ambassadors said.

John Bolton -- the United States ambassador to the United Nations -- arrives at the Security Council in New York. The UN Security Council has begun an emergency session to discuss North Korea's nuclear weapon test and the nomination of South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-Moon as the new UN secretary general.(AFP/Stan Honda)

I'm disappointed with talk of sanctions and UN diplomacy. Its already too late for that - the horse just bolted the barn! Those idiots at the State Department are still playing games pushing around paper while North Korea has the means to destroy the American heartland. I guess we should sit and wait to be attacked first, eh? Just like at Pearl Harbor. Except we won't survive the next one.

I wonder what kind of congratulatory message Maddy and Billy Jeff sent to their pal Kim?

The North Korean people are already starving and unless China decides to go along with blocking shipments overland, sanctions are pretty hollow.

Oh BOY! Sactions! What a wounderfully impotet and limp-wristed idea.
Can we pass the hat and send a case of Viagra over to the State Department? Those boys are decidedly, uh, limp.

Time to start stationing U.S. intermediate range nukes in South Korea. This might convince China to start cracking down on their unruly stepchild...

Don't worry, I'm sure the UN won't allow us to impose sanctions.
