If you ask what the Obama administration’s policy on North Korea is, you have to then ask another question: What day of the week is it? Because the policy seems to change daily.
Ping: Back in April, when Pyongyang tested its first long-range missile, the President deemed North Korea a “regional threat.”
Pong: After the North Koreans’ latest missile test last week, he called them a global threat.
Ping: National security adviser James Jones said last week that the rogue nation poses no imminent threat to the US.
Pong: Later in the week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, “The United States will not accept North Korea as a nuclear-armed state…North Korea’s nuclear program and actions constitute a threat to regional peace and security. We unequivocally reaffirm our commitment to the defense of our allies in the region.”
Ping: On Friday, Gates dialed back the rhetoric and said, “I don’t think that anybody in the [Obama] administration thinks there is a crisis.”
The Obama administration should take note that no one beats the Asians when it comes to ping pong.
