North Korea Warned

The White House today warned North Korea:

The White House said Saturday that the United States had a “robust deterrent capability” in the face of worries that North Korea might be planning to test a nuclear weapon.

“We do have concerns about North Korea,” the White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, told reporters during President Bush’s visit to Latvia. “It is shared by our partners in the region. North Korea would only further isolate itself if it took such a provocative step.”

Mr. McClellan urged North Korea to return to the six-party talks with the United States, South Korea, China, Japan and Russia, which have been stalled for almost a year, with recent efforts to restart them showing little progress.

North Korea said in February that it had nuclear weapons.

On Thursday and Friday, United States officials said that there had been construction and other events that would be consistent with preparations for a nuclear test.

Flap will be surprised if the United States allows a nuclear test.

Be prepared for B-2’s to be launched from Guam carrying bunker buster conventional and nuclear bombs.

George Bush’s patience is wearing thin.
