The Yonhap news agency in China quoted an unnamed North Korean official who said that his nation could fire a nuclear-tipped missile unless the United States acts to resolve its standoff with the regime in Pyongyang, according to the Associated Press. The unamed North Korean official said:
"We hope the situation will be resolved before an unfortunate incident of us firing a nuclear missile comes."
I'm sure stilted translation from Korean to Chinese to English for a US wire service accounted for the (un)veiled threat.
You know something real subtle-like, along the lines of Fat Tony from the Simpsons saying:
"I'd just like to remind Mayor Quimby that accidents happen... such as the killing of you, by us."
And a child shall lead us.
