It’s times like these when you remember how incompetent Dems are on foreign policy.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Friday that the administration wouldn’t be surprised if North Korea followed through on threats to launch a missle.

“We’ve obviously seen the reports that North Korea may be making preparations to launch a missile. We’re monitoring this situation cclosely, and we would not be surprised to see them take such an action,” Carney said during a press briefing.

“We have seen them launch missiles in the past and the United Nations Security Council has repeatedly condemned them as violations of the North’s obligations under numerous Security Council resolutions, and it would fit their current pattern of bellicose, unhelpful and unconstructive rhetoric and actions.” […]

Carney reiterated the United States’ call for North Korean leaders to choose peace.

“We urge them to stop with the provocations and to focus instead on meeting their international obligations and feeding their own people,” he said. “They are only making themselves more and more isolated from the rest of the world.”
