North Korea Issues Threat to South Korea
Shortly after new sanctions imposed by the United Nations
Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- "Troubling and counterproductive" rhetoric from North Korea is inflaming tensions on the Korean peninsula, but ultimately, "we will judge North Korea by its actions, not its words," the U.S. envoy to North Korea said Friday.
In its latest bout of saber-rattling, North Korea on Friday warned of the possibility of "strong physical counter-measures" against South Korea after the United Nations imposed tougher sanctions against the North earlier this week.

Would someone just shut them up already? Seriously, I'm no fan of war, but when are we going to be done with the saber rattling from these assholes?
