Korea's new young leader, Kim Jong Un.Meanwhile, North Korea has been angered 
by increasing sanctions and ongoing U.S.-South Korean military exercises, 
which have included a broad show of force ranging from stealthy B-2 
bombers and F-22 fighters to a wide array of ballistic missile defense-capable 
warships. The exercises are scheduled to continue through the end of the 
month.This past week, the U.S. said two of the Navy's missile-defense ships 
were moved closer to the Korean peninsula, and a land-based system is 
being deployed to the Pacific territory of Guam later this month. The 
Pentagon last month announced longer-term plans to beef up its U.S.-based 
missile defenses.While Washington is taking the North Korean threats seriously, 
U.S. leaders continue to say that they have seen no visible signs 
that the North is preparing for a large-scale attack.The defense official, 
who was not authorized to speak publicly about the Minuteman 3 test

peninsula.Thurman was scheduled to begin testifying Tuesday before multiple 
Senate and House committees about the situation in which the totalitarian 
North Korean government has declare a state of war on neighboring South 
Korea. Kim Jong Un -- North Koreas new, young leader -- has 
also said he would restart nuclear reactors.The United State earlier this 
month sent B-52 aircraft to South Korea as part of a training 
exercise and has moved a Navy ship off the peninsula's coast, signals 
from the White House that the U.S. wants to head off any 
potential conflict by flexing its military might."Given the current situation, 
Gen. Thurman will remain in Seoul next week as a prudent measure," 
Col. Amy Hannah, a spokeswoman for the general, told Fox News on 
Sunday.Hannah said the general has asked the House and Senate Armed Services 
committees and others to excuse his absence until he can testify at 
a later date.He looks forward to appearing before the committees at the 
earliest possible date," she also said.
