North Korea Warns U.S. It's Ready for War, After U.S. Sends Warships
--------------------------------------------------------------------

North Korea is warning the United States it's "ready for war," following
the Pentagon's decision to send an aircraft carrier, known as the Carl
Vinson, and three guided-missile destroyers and cruisers to the Korean
Peninsula. A North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesperson told the
state-run news agency, "We will hold the U.S. wholly accountable for the
catastrophic consequences to be entailed by its outrageous actions.
[North Korea] is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the U.S."
