U.S. says no unusual military move in N. Korea, diplomacy still possible

The White House said Monday the deployment of advanced warplanes such as B-2 bombers and F-22 stealth fighters to the Korean Peninsula has helped decrease the possibility of a North Korean miscalculation or provocation.

"We believe this has reduced the chance of miscalculation and provocation," press secretary Jay Carney said at a press briefing.

The U.S. has not seen any unusual military action by North Korea despite its near-daily threats to attack the U.S. and its regional allies, he added.
