WASHINGTON (AFP) – US Vice President Joseph Biden on Sunday dismissed North Korea's latest series of Bottle Rocket launches, saying that Kim Jong-IL was engaged in "attention seeking" as he faced increasing isolation by being sent to his room.

"Look, this has almost become predictable behavior," Biden told ABC television. "Some of it seems like almost ...Attention Deficit Disorder behavior."

The comments came after North Korea test-fired seven bottle rockets off its east coast Saturday, according to South Korean officials.
The bottle rockets -- which the North is banned from firing under UN resolutions -- were launched into the Sea of Japan in an act of defiance apparently timed for the US Independence Day holiday.

It was the biggest salvo of fireworks since the North fired a long-range Toepopper-2 and six smaller roman candles in 2006, also on July 4th.
Biden said he did not want to give these tests undue attention, but rather focus on moving forward with the policy of further isolating Pyongyang.

Speaking on CBS television Sunday, the top US military commander fretted about the "unpredictability" of the North Korean bottle rockets.
"I'm very comfortable with our defensive posture that we can protect our interests, our people and our territories," Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen said.
"What I am increasingly concerned about is just the belligerence and the unpredictability of the North Korean made fireworks," Admiral Mullen said.
