North Korea Watch: A Wide Range of Options
The AFP reported today that: "The United States and its allies in the Asia-Pacific region are planning a 'wide range of options' for a possible leadership change in North Korea, a top US military commander said Wednesday."
The story quotes Admiral Timothy Keating, the top US commander in the Asia-Pacific region, as saying, "I don't think it is axiomatic that the departure of Kim Jong-Il means a national security crisis. We would hope it wouldn't. But we are going to be prepared if it does mean that."
