N. Korea proposes peace accord talks to replace Korean War truce
2010-01-12
[Kyodo: Korea] North Korea on Monday proposed an ""early start"" of talks this year with countries involved in the 1950-1953 Korean War to replace the armistice that ended the conflict with a peace treaty. The proposed peace talks could be held within the framework of the six-party denuclearization talks if sanctions on Pyongyang were lifted, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

#4  for going on 60 years now we have seen this same tired dance by the Norks, but in the past 30 or so, it has become actually comical to watch. Now another cast of American political leaders will fall prey to the same, one trick dance. It is essentially "GIVE ME THINGS OR I WILL HOLD MY BREATH UTIL I TURN BLUE AND EXPLODE". And then when you do, a few weeks of apparent compromise, and then, more of the same, usually with "...running dog yankee imperialists" and "sea of fire" somewhere in the text.
Now watch the oh so wise Bambi crowd go down the same silly path. And display amazement when there is no prize at the end, just more demands.

#3  if kimmie is so 'ronry', maybe we can air-drop him a few 2000 lb iron friends.

maybe once is not so 'ronry and sadry arone', he can step down off his 'rittle throne' and negotiate in good faith... until then screw him. this is just another stunt to sucker the west out of some food aid so we can keep the 'dialog' kabuki on track

#2  Given that the Korean War has been in Pause mode for half a century, it would be a shame to end it without bombing the crap out of them just a little bit. Adds a sense of urgency to the negotiations, don't you think?
