US: Strike on N. Korea Possible if Nuclear Test Held KBS World (found it on Godlike Productions). Excerpts:
The commander of the U.S. Pacific Command says the U.S. may launch a surgical strike against missile bases and nuclear test sites in North Korea if it conducts a third nuclear test.
Admiral Samuel Locklear explained the U.S.'s position on Tuesday at a meeting with South Korean defense journalists at the South Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command (CFC) in Seoul.
Locklear said Washington is closely watching the North in relation to the possibility of a third nuclear test, adding the U.S. and South Korea are looking at all options including a surgical strike.
This feels like talk, for now. I think Kim Jong Un is too new, and it doesn't seem like his Generals want to throw down just yet, not after Missile-Go-Launch-BOOM!, but they might later. And the U.S. is setting a boundary. Yes, the situation could escalate, but I'm more inclined to think Israel/Iran or India/Pakistan-China will flare first.. The biggest concern still being Fukushima, rendering all other speculation moot.
