US will NOT use force to inspect North Korean ship

Judgement to Lead indeed Obama. The United States will not use force to inspect a North Korean ship suspected of carrying banned goods, an American official was quoted as saying Friday according to Yahoo:

An American destroyer has been shadowing the North Korean freighter sailing off China’s coast, possibly on its way to Myanmar.

Defense Undersecretary Michele Flournoy met with South Korean officials in Seoul on Friday as the U.S. sought international support for aggressively enforcing a U.N. sanctions resolution aimed at punishing Pyongyang for its second nuclear test last month. The North Korean-flagged ship, Kang Nam 1, is the first to be tracked under the U.N. resolution.
