Kim Jong Il is scared out of his boots now! UN Security Council Nations Agree to Condemn N. Korea’s Rocket Launch

Wow! Talk about a strong response only a week after North Korea’s rocket launch! How can Kim Jong Ill not be scared out of his mind now? The five permanent veto-wielding members — the U.S., China, Russia, Britain and France — and Japan met after Tokyo backed down from a demand that the Security Council adopt a new resolution, the strongest response from the U.N.’s most powerful body. From Fox News:

UNITED NATIONS — Key Security Council nations reached agreement Saturday on a statement that would condemn North Korea’s rocket launch and toughen U.N. sanctions against the reclusive communist nation.

The five permanent veto-wielding members — the U.S., China, Russia, Britain and France — and Japan reached agreement after Tokyo backed down from a demand that the Security Council adopt a new resolution, the strongest response the U.N.’s most powerful body can give.

They distributed the text of the proposed presidential statement to the nine other council members, who must now consult their capitals. Libya’s deputy U.N. ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi said he expects the council to meet again Monday.

A presidential statement is considered a weaker reaction by the council, and while the U.S. insists it is legally binding, others do not.
