Team America World Police Foreign Policy In Effect

North Korea, after telling the world that they would indeed test a long range missile, and having the world leaders warn them that it would be a violation of UN policy, launched the missile anyway. I guess the good news is that according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command officials, the first stage of the rocket fell into the waters between Korea and Japan, while the two other stages, and its payload, landed in the Pacific Ocean.

So North Korea's missile technology is not exactly 21st Century.

But here's the bad part. This is President Obama's statement from his speech in Prague about the launch.

"North Korea broke the rules once more by testing a rocket that could be used for a long-range missile," Obama said. "This provocation underscores the need for action — not just this afternoon at the U.N. Security Council, but in our determination to prevent the spread of these weapons."

So what does President Obama suggest? From his White House statement:

We will immediately consult with our allies in the region, including Japan and the Republic of Korea, and members of the U.N. Security Council to bring this matter before the Council. I urge North Korea to abide fully by the resolutions of the U.N. Security Council and to refrain from further provocative actions.

It reminds me of this scene from TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE.



I guess the Obama Administration is determined to practice the policy of "We will become very, very angry with you and we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are."

This would be laughable if it weren't actually serious you know.
