China-Japan-Koreas
N. Korea not keen on 6-way talks, waiting for Bush
2004-11-12
North Korea has said an early resumption of six-party talks on its nuclear arms programme will be difficult, and it wants to see how US President George W. Bush deals with Pyongyang following his re-election, Japanese and Chinese officials said on Thursday. Japan's top government spokesman said North Korean officials told their Japanese counterparts that Pyongyang was not keen to resume the multilateral forum anytime soon. "They said they were not in an environment where they could restart six-party talks in early stages," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda told a news conference. "We understand North Korea is not positive (on restarting the talks soon)."

#12  No, but I'm reminded of a line from Pinky and the Brain: "I told him it was a contract to direct feature films."

#11  "Team America: World Police" is OUTSTANDING and one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Practically EVERY Hollywood Liberal gets SCORCHED in that film.

Go see it if you haven't already! I've been twice--it was that good!

#10  I wonder if Lil Kim has seen Team America, World Police. He just gets ripped in that film, which is one of the best movies I have seen this year BTW.

#9  May I be the first to suggest the Clinton ApproachTM?

Does it involve interns and fellatio? I'd go for that!

#8  My preference would involve a baseball bat, like in The Untouchables. But that's just me.

#6  Isn't his dead father still the official leader of N. Korea? If so how do you talk with a dead guy without Haley Joel?

#5  Actually, .com, from the reports on Kimmi that I have read he is an extremely dangerous and unstable individual. No one controls him, least of all China. This is why China has been willing to make deals with the US on the six-way talks.

The biggest problem is that . . . kimmi apparently thinks he is an American movie producer. You'd think that this would make him amenable to out demands . . . but apparently he is just as hostile to reality as a Real American Movie Producer (TM).

Be Interesting to see what happens here.

#4  The more easily maipulated by those who put them in power, customarily. Such arrangements seldom span generations, but this one did. And, in his case, it is, indeed, hereditary - Daddy was a Soviet Puppet & Tool carefully groomed and placed in power. I think I can see strings on SunnyBoy in the picture, but his are held by China, heh.

#3  Where did this man go to school? Bush now has won the election, with a clear majority of both the popular and electoral vote. Do you really think he's going to change?

Why do dumb people get to be dictators?
