If it doesn't involve trading nukes for food, it proves yet again that the Obama administration is bumbling and incompetant.

| U.S.: North Korea Agrees To Suspend Nuclear Activities |
| 2012-02-29 |
| The United States says North Korea has agreed to suspend uranium enrichment and implement a moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile tests. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland also said the communist-ruled North had agreed to allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to verify and monitor the moratorium on uranium enrichment and confirm disablement of the North's nuclear reactor at Yongbyon. The U.S. statement on February 29 also said that U.S. and North Korean officials would meet to finalize details of a proposed package of 240,000 metric tons of food aid to the impoverished North. The U.S. announcement came after envoys from the two sides met earlier in February in China's capital, Beijing. |

| #12 I'm interpreting this news as the DPRK Nucprogs going more covert + "underground" than it already is. IMO, as per the DPRK's new econ agreements wid Mama Russia, the real story here is that the DPRK desires new or expanded FDI + other to counterbalance its FTA vee Rising China. I suspect that Iran's hallowed "JAPAN MODEL" as per its NucProgs, i.e. possessing the covert ability to quickly produce NucWeaps in the future whilst not doing so in the present, is also favored by Jong-un + Pyongyang Boyz. |

| #9 We have been over this same subject for years in the 'Burg. Norks are at a tipping point of their regime's existence and we will continue to enable this horrific regime to exist. This Administration is devoid of all principles, and just plays for the power. With every foreign policy position and move, they are pushing the world to war and instability. Whose side are they on, indeed. This action would gag a maggot. |

| #6 Even the naive gits that toil for Her Eminence the Secretary of State cannot be this stupid. What they can do is put lipstick on something designed for the electioneering of the Manchurian Candidate, so he can claim a huge success. All the while spending Chinese dollars to feed the most evil, dishonest, duplicitous nation state in history who will barely pretend to do anything more than talk to IAEA inspectors after the hundreds of millions of dollars of food get there. Oh, and watch who gets fed, the NKPA, not the peasants. All we have done is prop up another generation of despots, allies, of China, with money we borrowed from them, effectively rescuing their own client state on the verge of chaos, and paying for it. Brilliant on their part, and spending huge amounts of debt for the American people for a brief little press clipping for the Obumble Campaign. They have no shame or sense of duty beyond their own ambitions. |
