I think I found what provoked Obama's statement. Ya I know we've known about it for a few days but that's the first article I read on it definitively placing the blame with evidence.
if obama is truely worried about n. korea we need to leave afghanistan. we cant fight on three fronts. there is nothing in afghanistan anyways, its a shithole. we can keep doing airstrikes when we see poopstain taliban from the air. no reason to have troops on the ground there
