North Korea, the “Brigandish” UN and a Guess (Update)

North Korea has responded to the nonbinding (i.e. virtually meaningless)
UN Resolution
Presidential Statement issued yesterday that condemns its April 5 missile launch, calling the statement “brigandish” and threatening to continue its nuclear program. And, in what the Obama administration will surely regard as the most alarming part of the statement, North Korea has threatened to “never participate” again in six-party nuclear talks. Over/under on how long it will take for the White House to offer some kind of concession to bring Kim Jong Il back to the negotiating table? I say three days. Update: A smart reader points out that this post “mistakenly referred to a UN resolution yesterday when it was really a Presidential Statement.”
