State Dept. Spokesman Hints at North Korea Issue?

Early today while I was watching the State Department briefing on the Pentagon Channel, during the early part of the questioning between him(spokesman) and the reporters.
The spokesman made a slip of the tongue when talking about the recent Iranian launching of their satellite. He was talking about the issue of Iran and mispoke about North Korea instead of Iran as was the subject of the question. He was speaking about the UN resolution and made the mistake there.
The "error" in his speaking led to a question from one of the reporters about North Korea but it was quickly ignored and kept on with Iran.

Your comments on this? Personally I'd think that we at ATS would want to be keeping a close eye on the State Dept. briefings.

Edit: Forgot to change the title to Spokesman from Press Secretary, my bad.

The video for the briefing is available on the right side of the link with the Flash video symbol.

There have been so many slips that I think they are doing it on purpose.

We know for sure that North Korea was in his mind at that moment.

The question is what about North korea?

Well from what I heard today North Korea is playing bully again and getting ready to launch a rocket that can reach Cali, it is just a test. Combine that with a nuclear war head and we have problems.

So essentially N. Korea is about to have ICBM's. They aren't threatening us just getting ready to test a rocket with intercontinental range.
