#1 The North Koreans are nothing if not consistent, as they have reneged on every nuclear agreement entered into over the past 15 years, and not just with the United States. The 1992 Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula was signed by North Korea and South Korea. Of course, we now know North Korea was violating that agreement virtually before the ink was dry...

In light of such facts, how is it possible for any sane person to propose a negotiated deal with North Korea? There is NOTHING to negotiate because there is nothing the North Koreans won't lie about. This is a monumental case of diplomats fooling nobody except themselves. The only problem is that the joke's on millions of Koreans who stand to perish if North Korea's psychosis goes terminal at some point.

#2 I am constantly amazed by such stories. I try to imagine how the last 4 years of the MSM-declared "oh so skeery standoff" could have gone any better than it has. The "stew in your own juice" policy has completely befuddled Dear Leader (or whatever he's called, now, lol!) and the whole NorK joke may collapse at any moment - and without a shot being fired. After stewing for 4 years, I'd wager he's pretty tender, by now. And to think we didn't bolster him and prop him up at great cost to ourselves, just so he could continue proliferating. Sheesh, who'da thunk it? Well obviously Bush & Co thunk it and made it happen. And the little NorK Leader has nothing to show for all his bluster and bullshit for 4 solid years. Only the MSM is immune - they still don't get it, lol!

#4 Lets make a deal with a regime that has managed to never stick to a deal once in row.

#5 ...comfortable, well-fed academics and former politicians and bureaucrats sought to craft still more generous offers and inducements for the Pyongyang regime

Yeah, I kinda figured that was the makeup of the "distinguished task force".

#6 "But look at the smashing brooch I'm wearing. It signifies negotiated peace with the North. It's a gold inlayed ostrich with his head buried"

#7 Hey there, Madeline, thats nicer n the plaque they gave me from Oz-slow, for that there No-Bell peace prize I got for negotiating that agreement with Dear Leader. I trust him, he was very gracious to me over there, just like my dear friend Chavez was when I was last down there.
