So how does Cool Barry respond?? Some scolding and more ineffective rhetoric. And for good measure they are running to the UN Security Counsel. Since Kim Jong Il has already thumbed his nose at the resolution prohibiting the launching in the first place it is doubtful that he has any regrets.
So, what's next after the Security Counsel addresses the issue -- again?!? Anybody think that this administration has a plan. Or do they really think Prezbo's cool persona and calm demeanor can smooth over every crisis??
More importantly, what kind of message does this send to Iran??
UPDATE:
Vodkapundit on the lessons learned:
The White House claims that the missile launch was a failure. We have to take the President on his word on that one, and I will. But I also say: So what? Even a failed test teaches you things — like, how not to fail in the future. A shot down missile would have taught the North Koreans only one thing: We mean business.
Instead, President Obama has taught the Dear Leader an entirely different set of lessons.
1. We have the means but not the will.
2. We will restrain our allies but not you.
3. You can rely on Russia and China at the UN to thwart even our most feeble efforts to sanction you.
4. We’re big effing idiots.
Think Barry has realized that Kim purposefully sent the rocket up the same day as his "world without nukes" speech? I should hope so, as everything relates back to Barry.
