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

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.
