MR. GIBBS: Jake.

Q If I could, just a quick question about North Korea. What is the administration's goal, other than some sort of piece of paper from the United Nations expressing disappointment with the nuclear bomb going off? What does the administration want to have happen concretely in terms of action?

MR. GIBBS: Well, look, I think that the Security Council is currently meeting. I think they're likely to discuss next steps as far as that goes. Let me, though, address the initial part of your question.

I think the uniform and unified international criticism that we've seen since the reports of this testing demonstrate the outrage that countries around the world have for these actions. I think North Korea continues to deepen its isolation from the international community and continues, as we've said all along, to take steps in the wrong direction.

Q I'm sorry, but you didn't actually answer my question.

MR. GIBBS: Well, I just said that obviously I think the Security Council is involved in some of these discussions --

Q You don't want to tip your hand as to what you --

MR. GIBBS: I don't want to get in --

Q -- guys would like?

MR. GIBBS: Yes.
