Asked whether the Security council would meet, the source said: "It's in the works for either today or tomorrow. We are for it and (planning) is ongoing."
French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie condemned the North Korean shelling, which killed two soldiers and set dozens of houses ablaze.
"I condemn firmly the artillery strikes from North Korea on the Yeonpyeong island and that resulted in two deaths among South Korean military forces and several injured among the civilian population," Alliot-Marie said in a statement.
"France calls on North Korea to halt the provocation and refrain from any further acts that could worsen tensions in the region."
The attack by reclusive North Korea against its southern neighbor was one of the heaviest yet and followed revelations at the weekend that Pyongyang is fast developing another source of material to make atomic bombs.
I'm interested in the GOP response to all this, which I think will be based on the following argument. How costly could another Korean War be really? We need adults in charge right now, and one party is filled with nothing but petulant, vengeful children. If they have their way, crazy will be back on the menu again.
And if that doesn't scare the pants off of you, how would President McCain act...or President Palin handle this?
