SHANGHAI — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned North Korea on Friday that it would face “consequences” for sinking a South Korean warship in March, as she set off on an intense round of shuttle diplomacy in Asia to muster an international response.
“It is important to send a clear message to North Korea that provocative actions have consequences,” Mrs. Clinton said after meeting in Tokyo with the Japanese foreign minister, Katsuya Okada. “We cannot allow this attack on South Korea to go unanswered by the international community.”
The comments were the first from Mrs. Clinton on what South Korea has called a deliberate North Korean torpedo attack, which killed 46 sailors. Mrs. Clinton declined to lay out the options for a response, saying that would be “premature.”

Checking recent news coverage "Hill"ary had transformed herself into "Mountain"ary. Stress? Perhaps. But, she is certainly NO dummy. She senses the chaos within the Obama arena and at the perfect moment will resign. THAT will be the appropriate time for her to comment on Korea & much else as she prepares her 2012 candidacy.
Sara's heading to fish country. Cheers to all.
There was a great piece on Hillary on 60 Minutes last week. She is a giant and we are very lucky to have her.
