US running out of patience over North Korea: envoy
2006-04-06
The United States is losing patience at North Korea’s boycott of six-party talks aimed at ending its nuclear weapons ambitions, US ambassador to Seoul Alexander Vershbow said Wednesday. He urged the Stalinist North to revive the nuclear talks which have been stalled for five months. “Everyone in Washington would like to reach a negotiated solution, but everyone in Washington is also running out of patience,” Vershbow said in a message on a website run by the embassy. The two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States have held talks aimed at ending North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme since 2003. In September 2005 the North agreed to abandon nuclear programmes in return for receiving a US-led security guarantee and economic and diplomatic benefits. But the talks are in limbo following the last meeting in November, after Washington accused Pyongyang of counterfeiting US dollars and laundering money. The North denies the charge and demands the US lift financial sanctions before it returns to the talks.

#2  STRATEGYPAGE and other blogs are reporting that JAPAN is in the process of reorganz its Govt. and eventually its armed forces to exert and support Japanese regional, and dare global, interests - read, the Chicoms may expect Japan to eventually exert other than diplomatic or economic muscle in Asia or around the world. The Commies and thier God-based Lefty Radical Muslim allies are encircling us, and the USA-West is encircling back. THe Iranian Mullahs may want nukes and Empire but, unfortunately for North Korea, unless something changes wid CHINA the NKCP-North KOrea per se can look forward to remaining a PERMANENT, lawfully un-annexed, Chicom province and slave/peon state.

#1  It's 'Too Late' for the Norks to be compelled back into the six-party talks; any idiot will now realize they're going to 'sit this out' until we play our cards with the second leg of the 'Axis Of Evil'! My prediction is that once Iran is crushed from it's defiance and set back a few decades, The Nork's will become so terrified of nuclear annihilation, they'll 'cry uncle' (unless the Chicoms come a callin [ala Vietnam])!
