The U.S. military is tracking a flagged North Korean ship suspected of proliferating weapons material in violation of a U.N. Security Council resolution passed last Friday, FOX News has learned.

The ship, Kang Nam, left a port in North Korea Wednesday and could be carrying weaponry, missile parts or nuclear materials. The U.S. military has been tracking it since its departure.

"It is believed to be 'of interest,'" a senior U.S. official told FOX News.

This is the first suspected "proliferator" that the U.S. and its allies have tracked from North Korea since the United Nations authorized the world's navies to enforce compliance with a variety of U.N. sanctions aimed at punishing North Korea for its recent nuclear test.

The apparent violation raises the question of how the United States and its allies will respond, particularly since the U.N. resolution does not have a lot of teeth to it.

The resolution would not allow the United States to forcibly board the ship. Rather, U.S. military would have to request permission to board -- a request North Korea is unlikely to grant.

North Korea has said that any attempt to board its ships would be viewed as an act of war and promised "100- or 1,000-fold" retaliation if provoked.

Oh!  So now the resolution does not have teeth?
I though Obama said it did?
Wow, that would make him a liar!
Okay so we think this ship may have something illegal aboard -- will we confront it, as allowed by the Resolution?  Even Joe Biden said Sunday that the US now has to enforce the Resolution.  Christ, if Biden understand, surely Obama must too!!

IF YOU ARE A LIBERAL AND CAN READ, PLEASE GO TO THE NEAREST BATHROOM AND PLAY WITH YOURSELF FOR A MINUTE WHILE OTHERS READ ABOUT HOW THE FED IS GONNA NOW RUN THE FINANCIAL ARMS OF VARIOUS COMPANIES


BOSTON (Reuters) - The possibility of the Federal Reserve gaining regulatory authority over General Electric Co's hefty finance arm could influence how the company restructures that business.

When President Barack Obama this week unveiled his proposal for the most sweeping overhaul of U.S. financial regulations since the 1930s, he proposed the central bank oversee not just banks but "other large firms that pose a risk to the entire economy in the event of failure."

That was a reference to troubled insurer American International Group, which has received roughly $180 billion in government bailout money. But GE investors said the label could just as easily apply to the U.S. conglomerate's finance business, a major commercial lender.

"I could definitely see that potentially becoming an issue if companies like GE and their finance arms came under more scrutiny," said Perry Adams, vice president and senior portfolio manager at Huntington Private Financial Group in Traverse City, Michigan, which holds GE shares.

riffy? nanky? you and obama were on the same side with the pirates....how about the fly issue?

PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly

WASHINGTON (AP) - The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.

"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."

Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.

Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."

Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.

If President Bush had swatted the fly, Rachel Madcow & company would take PETA's side. Since it was this new asshole, they think it shows how "cool" he is. I've never seen a 47-year-old man be so dainty before. Cool? My ass!

perhaps we can send in a katcha bug humane evil dictator catcher instead.

Much more likely that Austrian-speaking Barry O will use that fly catching contraption than actual "bad" weapons. Biggest Pussy Ever?

Personally, for NoKo, I would like to see Obama take out this missile that they intend to shoot toward Hawaii.
Would be a splendid time to use an interceptor!

That is unfortunate.

That's what happens when you have so many special interests to please.

Since 1998, PETA has opted to “put down” 21,339 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them. PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.

Have you noticed how those who use the term "pussy" as a perjorative act as if they never get any?
