US Wags Finger at North Korea

Yes, the latest step is to send a stern message to North Korea.

Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said the talks in Seoul were aimed at assessing the next steps with North Korea, including whether and how to resume stalled talks about Pyongyang's nuclear program. Pyongyang said this month it was willing to return to disarmament talks, in limbo since 2007.

"The United States is considering a variety of options associated with North Korea and we will be in deep consultations," Campbell said.

But he stressed that an essential precondition for any new talks would be that Pyongyang cease its "provocative ways" and commit to denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.


'Cuz that'll work...
