And then goes golfing:
His remarks in the Rose Garden today were inserted into his schedule and were an escalation of yesterday’s statement, calling North Korea’s reported nuclear and missile tests “a great threat to the peace and security of the world.” (Yesterday, he said the region.) Although the record of previous sanctions clearly have not had the desired effect, with North Korea repeatedly breaking any commitments achieved, the president called today for more unspecified “action.” We have the full, brief text below. When the president spoke, he was enroute to Arlington National Cemetery for a ceremony. We’ll add his remarks there below the jump. (UPDATE: After the Arlington event the president went golfing, despite the threats to world peace. And the rain.)
The Norks do whatever they want and in exchange the president gives them whatever they want, more fuel, more food, more aid, more talks, more time. It’s like Bush’s third term — except Bush gave up the golf.
