White House: U.S. Can Stop a North Korean Nuke Strike

Very interesting. From the USA Today:

The White House said Thursday that the United States is fully capable of defending against a North Korean ballistic missile strike.

Earlier Thursday, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously for new sanctions against North Korea, which carried out a third nuclear test Feb. 12. Pyongyang threatened a nuclear strike against the United States.

"The United States is fully capable of defending against any North Korean ballistic missile attack," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

North Korea is prepared to "exercise the right to a pre-emptive nuclear attack to destroy the strongholds of the aggressors," and Washington is "set to light a fuse for a nuclear war," according to a statement from a Foreign Ministry spokesman carried by the Korean Central News Agency.

Carney said the rogue regime "will achieve nothing by threats or provocations."
