I don't believe that is the reason. Remember Obama wants our economy to fail. The reason I think he wants this confrontation is to have our troops out of here, and to get more out of the Middle East so his brothers in the MB can complete full take over. Then with many more troops out of our country, all cells here will have less confrontation when they make their moves. Plus remember islam is not our only foreign enemy in cells hidden in plain sight among us.

JERUSALEM – Is the Obama administration’s military build up in the Pacific part of the president’s so-called pivot-toward-Asia strategy, a move that could demonstrate the biggest shift in world power since World War II?
Specifically, is Washington using the North Korean nuclear standoff as an excuse to shift massive military might to Asia just as China and other powers seek to create a new economic order that would rival the Western-dominated World Bank and International Monetary Fund?
It is difficult for most seasoned observers to explain why Obama is suddenly responding to North Korean aggression when the White House did little in 2008 when North Korea refused to allow United Nations inspectors into its nuclear plants.
The Obama administration also took little action when North Korea in 2009 carried out at least two nuclear tests, one of which is believed to have been the cause of a magnitude 4.7 seismic event.
The White House did not allow the U.S. military any significant response when in 2010 North Korea torpedoed a South Korean navy ship, killing 46 sailors. North Korea then shelled a South Korean island with little U.S. reaction.
Now, purportedly in response to aggressive action by North Korea’s new leader, the White House is sending to Singapore a new class of warship designed to fight in coastal waters.
The Pentagon also announced that it will deploy a missile defense system to the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam to strengthen regional protection against a possible attack. This after the Obama administration largely canceled a similar defense system intended for Europe.
U.S. warplanes, including fighter jets, U-2 spy planes and an A-10 attack jet, were seen flying in South Korea yesterday as part of a massive joint military exercise.
The U.S. says it stands “poised to respond” at the border of North and South Korea, where American troops are on high alert amid possible further Pentagon build-up in the region.
U.S. military ‘rebalance’
Why is the U.S. now responding to North Korea?
Time magazine says the “U.S. pivot toward Asia – and the potential for confrontation with China – became a little more real this week with the arrival of a new class of warship designed to fight in coastal waters.”
That pivot has been declared by the Obama administration itself – a professed strategy of putting a greater focus on the Asia region.
Earlier this week, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel “made clear the U.S. and the Department of Defense remain committed to the rebalance towards the Asia-Pacific region,” Pentagon spokesman George Little said after a meeting between Hagel and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Hagel told Loong that “in the future there will be even more opportunities for closer collaboration between the US and Singapore,” Little said.

I don't know if Obama will confront N Korea or not if N Korea strikes South Korea and Japan. South Korea and Japan have capitalistic economies. There is a worldwide movement to destroy capitalism.
And yet Obummer could care less if he does spend more taxpayer money in another war with N Korea. Just another way to make us go into debt more.
I believe China has a treaty to protect N Korea so if we attack N Korea, does that mean we will fight China too? Will that be the end of our dollar when China wants their money back from us??
We sure live in some uncertain times!!! The usurper is getting all his ducks lined up in a row so he can pull the rug out from under us. Hell is coming.
Of course he will want our troops out of the Middle East too so the Muslim Brotherhood will create a Caliphate and try to destroy Israel.
More diversionary tactics by the clown in chief. Once again, we have yet another crisis to divert our attention from the Benghazi investigations and his support of the Muslim Brotherhood. He must think we are all idiots.
Remember, Hillary was there 1 month ago. Where she goes, situations always arise and follow. IMHO, I have noticed.
Obama does want the US to be taken over, and I believe Obama is not capable of handling N. Korea.
I'm serious. Is anyone active duty that can get our own Pentagon to care about this, or are they also 'gone'? Have all the patriotic generals been purged (one was just arrested this week in PA for child porn on his pc - an easy setup).
This is interesting information, Betsy. any idea about how many planes there were?
