Hadley Briefs Press on N. Korea Missiles

Read the entire press briefing. Here's the most pertinent bit I could find.

"So, you know, we've been doing a lot of preparations for this, and the President, I think -- so it wasn't that he was surprised, because we've seen this coming for a while. I think his instinct is that this just shows the defiance of the international community by North Korea. This is not a U.S.- North Korea issue; they were receiving messages from the entire international community on this subject and chose to ignore them." ~Steve Hadley

Ah, so what they mean to say is that it's none of our business, so we won't intervene. The missile launches are not a U.S. - North Korea issue. Well there's only one thing I can say to that. 9/11 wasn't a U.S. - Iraq issue. It was a U.S. - Afghanistan issue. And yet...

Please, the irony is killing me.
