UN Fail: UN Condemns Sinking of South Korean Ship, but Fails to Mention North Korea Was Responsible

North Korea called this, “our great diplomatic victory.” Of course, President Obama wants a new era of engagement with the corrupt and ineffective UN.

The U.N. Security Council on Friday condemned a deadly attack on a South Korean warship that killed 46 sailors and pointed a finger toward North Korea but didn’t directly blame the reclusive communist nation.

North Korea’s U.N. Ambassador Sin Son Ho called it “our great diplomatic victory,” stressing again that his country had nothing to do with the sinking of the 1,200-ton Cheonan on March 26. U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said he wouldn’t react “to overblown rhetoric.”

North Korea previously warned that its military forces would respond if the council questioned or condemned the country...

The statement about the ship sinking, approved by all 15 council members, expressed “deep concern”...
