Good morning.
It's Memorial Day, 2009. The president is meeting with Gold Star Families at the White House this morning. That's a group to whom we all owe a huge debt. Someone in their family has made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. My grandmother was a Gold Star Mother. She lost her son, for whom I'm named, in World War II.
The North Koreans sure made this slow news weekend a lot more interesting -- and not in a good way. The President issued a statement at 2:10 a.m., which reads in part:
By acting in blatant defiance of the United Nations Security Council, North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the international community. North Korea's behavior increases tensions and undermines stability in Northeast Asia. Such provocations will only serve to deepen North Korea⿿s isolation. It will not find international acceptance unless it abandons its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.Not quite sure North Korea listens to anybody these days.
Let's roll.
