South Korea 'to formally blame North Korea' for ship sinking

[IScreamSundays]

The Cheonan sank on March 26 after an explosion on the vessel as it sailed in the Yellow Sea off South Korea's west coast.

After investigators from Australia, Britain, Sweden and the US pieced together portions of the ship, South Korea has now reportedly reached the conclusion North Korea was responsible for the attack and will formally blame Pyongyang on Thursday.

According to The Washington Post, analyses showed that torpedo was identical to a North Korean torpedo previously obtained by South Korea.

After presenting the report to China and other nations, South Korea will then lobby the UN Security Council to take up the issue and tighten sanctions on North Korea. The US has indicated it would support such action.

7. OK, sounds (and smells) like farting to me.

The point being, they aren't going to do diddly squat, and NK will be only too happy to do this again.
