President Obama warned Thursday that the United States will take "all necessary
steps" to protect the American people as he urged North Korea to
end its belligerence -- amid fresh concerns that the regime is preparing
for a missile launch.North Korea delivered a fresh round of rhetoric Thursday
with claims it had "powerful striking means" on standby for a launch.
A U.S. official confirmed to Fox News that the North Koreans briefly
raised a mobile missile launcher they have positioned on the east coast.
That launcher is holding a Musudan missile -- it was raised for
a short time and then lowered, in what could have been part
of a pre-launch test.Obama discussed the North Korean crisis following a
meeting with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Obama said he wants to
"resolve" the issues with Pyongyang "diplomatically.""Now is the time for
North Korea to end the kind of belligerent approach that they've been
taking and to try to lower temperatures," he said.But the president added:
"The United States will take all necessary steps to protect its people
and to meet our obligations under our alliances in the region."Earlier in
the day, several U.S. officials testified on North Korea's military capabilities.
Top U.S. intelligence officials said they believe Kim Jong Un is using
threats to win concessions on foreign aid rather than trying to start
a war.The Defense Intelligence Agency also concluded that North Korea probably
has advanced its
South Korea and Japan against these threats. And we
will defend ourselves," he said.Speaking beside Kerry, South Korea's Yun
called for more United Nations action against Pyongyang if it commits another
provocation.He refused to comment specifically on the U.S. intelligence
report, saying only that the North has "high nuclear and missile capabilities"
but that it is still some time away from a nuclear bomb
that is "small, light and diversified."Kerry offered strong words of solidarity
for South Korea, and praised South Korea President Park Geun-hyes "bright
vision" of a prosperous and reunified Korean Peninsula without nuclear weapons.
By contrast, he said North Korea's Kim, has a choice to make
between provocation and returning to talks to de-escalate tension and lead
to the end of its nuclear programBoth Yun and Kerry kept the
door open for future negotiations with Pyongyang.But both seemed to suggest
that they were unlikely in light of the North's increasingly bombastic threats,
including nuclear strikes on the United States. Most experts say those are
unfeasible based on the North's current capacity and would never be explored
seriously because the U.S. response would be overwhelming against a regime
focused primarily on survival.Kerry said any talks with North Korea have
to lead toward denuclearization.They have to be really serious," Kerry said.
"No one is going to talk for the sake of talking and
no one is going to play this roun

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> c.The Pentagon also has
announced it will place a more advanced land-based missile defense on Guam,
and Hagel said in March that he approved installing 14 additional missile
interceptors in Alaska to bolster a portion of the missile defense network
that is designed to protect all of U.S. territory.On Thursday, the Pentagon
said it had moved a sea-based X-band radar -- designed to track
warheads in flight -- into position in the Pacific.Notably absent from that
unclassified segment of the Pentagon report was any reference to what the
DIA believes is the range of a missile North Korea could arm
with a nuclear warhead. Much of its missile arsenal is capable of
reaching South Korea and Japan, but Kim has threatened to attack the
United States as well.But David Wright, a nuclear weapons expert at the
Union of Concerned Scientists, said the DIA assessment probably does not
change the views of those who closely follow developments in North Korea's
pursuit of a nuclear weapon."People are starting to believe North Korea
very likely has the capability to build a nuclear weapon small enough
to put on some of their shorter-range missiles," Wright said. "Once you
start talking about warheads small enough and technically capable to be
on a long-range missile, I think it's much more an open question."The
DIA assessment is not out of line with comments Dempsey made Wednesday
when he was asked at a Pentagon news conference whether North Korea
was capa
Four Democratic and four Republican senators have reached agreement on all
the major elements of sweeping legislation to remake the nation's immigration
laws, and expect to unveil the bill next week, lawmakers and aides
said Thursday.After months of arduous closed-door negotiations, senators
had no issues left to resolve in person, and no more negotiating
sessions were planned. Remaining details were left to staffers, who were
at work completing drafts of the bill."All issues that rise to the
member level have been dealt with," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in
a statement. "All that is left is the drafting."Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin
of Illinois said the bill probably would be introduced on Tuesday.The landmark
legislation would overhaul legal immigration programs, crack down on employers
who hire people who are here illegally, boost border security and put
11 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally on a path to citizenship.
A top second-term priority for President Barack Obama, it would enact the
biggest changes to U.S. immigration law in more than a quarter-century.Deals
gelled over the past day on a new farm worker program and
visas for high-tech workers, eliminating the last remaining disputes on
the legislation.Next will come the uncertain public phase as voters and
other lawmakers get a look at the measure.
