Words and Deed? or just words!

President Obama took the occasion of North Korea's launch of a ballistic missile to roundly condemn the actions of that rogue regime and call for serious sanctions against the crazies in Pyonyang. Okay, we got words from the master orator. Now we will get to see (with apologies to Peggy Lee) "Is that all there is?"

The NK leadership has come to realize that words will never hurt them and that words from the UN are never accompanied by sticks and stones. What will Obama and his minions do? Speak louder? Try different words? Those are my guesses, since the likelihood of serious countermeasures against NK coming from this administration is essentially nonexistant.

Let's see if Obama can limit himself to meaningless words without looking impotent and foolish. Let's see if obama can realize on his own that his words will have no effect.

It will be interesting to watch.
