After the attack by the North Koreans on South Korea, the administration announced that it would stand by the South and that the best course would be to work with other world powers to deal with the crisis. The US made immediate contact with China, the patron of North Korea, to try to bring pressure to bear upon the NK's. It has not taken long to get a clear picture of the Chinese response. As reported by the Washington Post, "China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters in Beijing today it was evident that North and South Korea disagreed on which side started the clash. Premier Wen Jiabao yesterday reiterated calls for stability on the Korean peninsula, without ascribing any blame to the North."
Let's chalk this up to yet another great success for Obama. He cannot even get the Chinese to admit that the NK's were the aggressor in the attack. I wonder what great success is next?
