Have I mentioned my long time interest in North Korea? Things are heating up there lately. North Korea has threatened to test a nuclear device. U.S. intelligence has detected movement on the ground which suggests that the North Koreans are serious.

Here are a few relevant quotes and links:

“I hope that North Korea doesn’t misread the intentions of the United States,” the sources quoted Bolton as saying.

“We think that the main point (of the statement) is that North Korea should understand how strongly the United States and many other council members feel that they should not test this nuclear device and that if they do test it will be a very different world the day after the test.” - JapanTimes

“We are not going to live with a nuclear North Korea,” Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill told the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University Wednesday. “We are not going to accept it.”

North Korea “can have a future, or it can have these weapons. It cannot have both,” Hill said. The U.S. and its allies “are in a very tense time” in dealing with Pyongyang, Hill added.

But ranking U.S. government officials warned that if the North goes through with the tests, it will take serious measures including military action. - North Korea Zone

My question: Do we have the resources for military action? Seems like our military is a little busy lately.
