Obama States the Obvious on North Korea

Some strong words issued by Obama regarding North Korea.

President Barack Obama said Tuesday that a nuclear-armed North Korea poses a "grave threat" to the world, and he vowed to end a cycle of allowing Pyongyang to create crises and then be rewarded with incentives to back down.

"This is a pattern they've come to expect," Obama said. "We are going to break that pattern."

What is the plan anyway? Just jawbone until North Korea nukes Tokyo then condemn it in the strongest possible terms? I think Obama needs to say an attack by North Korea on any ally in the area will be met with the destruction of the North Korean regime. I other words bang the table and rattle the saber a little to show your allies you mean business.
