The WSJ reports that the US believes North Korea could be preparing a nuclear test. It has asked China to pressure North Korea to prevent it.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but doesn’t the guy in charge of preventing this kind of thing have a name that rhymes with “Tron Molten”? Why, yes he does. Whoops!

Also: How long before someone on The Corner and/or Michelle Malkin implies that Bolton could have prevented the nuclear test if he hadn’t been so busy answering the SFRC Democrats’ stupid questions? I’m betting two days, m’self.
