North Korea has been upgrading its belligerent rhetoric faintly as UN sanctions tightened. It also threatened to cancel the cease-fire agreement, ended the Korean war from 1950 to 1953.
White House spokesman jay carney said: "I can tell you that the United States is fully capable of withstand any north Korean ballistic missile attacks,.
North Korea has carried out nuclear test 3 times now. Over the past year, it has nuclear weapons could threaten the United States, though experts doubt that it has the ability to hit the U.S. ballistic missile or a nuclear device miniaturization, the missile strode to installed on the target.
North, however, has hundreds of thousands of short-range missiles, can call to Japan and South Korea, a U.S. military base, says that South Korea's chair of the center for strategic and international studies, a think-tank.
It is difficult to know that the U.S. missile defense capabilities, if necessary.
Carney suggested system design in the United States, to protect against the development of long-range missiles. He said the United States is a "good trajectory" after the success, in its return to the tests of the land-based interceptor.
David Wright of the union of concerned scientists said the deployment in the United States, the system is made up of George w. bush administration because of concerns about the threat of north Korea. The former test system fails, Wright said, it is still in development.
In east Asia, the United States to deploy land-based patriot missile system and the sea-based aegis system, the system is designed to intercept short range missiles.
The top U.S. envoy for north Korea green Davis, warned Pyongyang not wrong abacus, he said, the United States will take necessary measures to defend itself and its Allies, including South Korea, it is based on nearly 30000 U.S. troops.
"We will take all of north Korea's threat to cause enough attention, to make sure we have correct defensive stance, to deal with any emergencies that may occur," Davis told reporters, after the senate foreign relations committee.
Thursday's statement, Pyongyang appears to be the most specific open country nuclear attack any threat to the other country, but the senate panel chairman, sen. Robert beatriz menendez, DN. J., threat saying is "absurd", if a north Korea to commit suicide.
Davis reiterated that the United States will not accept north Korea as a nuclear weapons state, although three times after the nuclear test, it has been thought to be able to make at least a crude nuclear bomb.
Davis, however, in the face of republican the effectiveness of the Obama administration's policy on north Korea are sceptical. In December, the three stages, has carried on the first launch a long-range rocket to success. On February 12, the test could help a miniaturized warhead.
The council on foreign relations, the republicans, Tennessee senator Bob Koch, draws a comparison, the United States policy toward Iran, and the United States has warned that it might take military action, to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

In the new United Nations sanctions, this is draft, the United States and north Korea's chief ally and benefactor, China, should be more difficult to Pyongyang to capital and access to its nuclear and ballistic missile's missile program material, and the reclusive country's ruling elite luxury goods.
Davis said, more and more international condemnation of north Korea's actions and new UN sanctions suggests "the world began to wake up the" north. But he said that China's diplomatic work "to strengthen and give full play to its role, make the choice of Pyongyang's face."
Sanctions in Beijing, this will be the key to its effectiveness, because most of the north is considered to be the headquarters of the work of the company and the bank in China promised that the United States congress remain sceptical.
Three people on Thursday, joining the United Nations sanctions list - including senior officials in a company, is north Korea's main arms dealers and major exporter of ballistic missile related equipment - can quickly join in us Treasury blacklist.
