U.S. deploys anti-missile ships before North Korea launch

I see the threat of North Korea as a big problem for the Obama administration. Missile launches seem like just the beginning if China is not willing to set down the law on North Korea through UN sanctions because if the wrong people are able to get their hands on this new type of weaponry then the national security of our country could be at risk. I am in agreement with Robert Gates that at this point we shouldn't be stopping the missile launch expected this week right now because maybe it is just a satellite orbit that is being done. However, if we find out that it is not then maybe doing something ahead of time would prove forthright. It is obvious that the United States and Japan see the threat of missile launches to public safety or else why would they send four anti-missile ships out into the ocean. With that being said, it is important to strengthen up our allied forces and build a strong coalition that can coerce China into giving in and going through the proper measures to thwart any attempt from Kim Jung-Il to sell or attack using his newfound defense system. Once this week is over with, it will present Obama with a clear challenge to either turn up the heat or stay the course on North Korea.
