#1 Why is Rockefeller still on the Committee after that scandel a few weeks ago involving the timed release of information to be used in the elections? His head should have been on a pike for that. Idiot.

#2 These Dimocrats just slay me...as if President Bush hasn't been giving this his total attention for months since the NorKs started this saber-rattling!
But the Donks don't care: as long as they get their sound bite and get enough of the "sheeple" to believe that Bush isn't on the ball.
Vote the Dims out in 2004, please. All of them.

#3 The Donks are trying to be clever. They look around and see Mr. Bush on a roll. So they bait him with NK hoping against hope his hot streak comes to an abrupt end. Silly Donks, have you not been to Vegas? NEVER bet against the guy on a hot streak.

#4 I don't expect another 6-party meeting until the SK contribution scandle plays out. These Senators fully understand the plan/policy for NK. They have adopted a posture that puts them in an advantageous position to capitalize if the plan goes South. The three probably don't expect to be able to sway the American public in the presidential election. I think they are hoping for enough wins in Senate races to gain control of the Senate back. NK is their last hope for a foriegn affairs disaster.

#5 Sounds more like an attempt to prove themselves relevant and concerned about foreign policy, while trying to embarass the White House. NK is a legitimate issue, but it's a controllable one.

#6 Plus, they are trying like mad to neutralize Bush's win in Libya.

#7 These Dems are just jumping on the NORK issue because they have nothing else and they want to get back into the slimelight. If they had been reading Rantburg they would have seen that we are pursuing our NORK aims the best we can do, considering the circumstances. The truth is that there is nothing substantative that they can contribute, and this is hard to swallow for them.

Like the Russians say, "Tough Schitskis."

#8 Daschle needs to read Rantburg. We discussed this in detail before, and decided Bush was doing exactly what he should do - make China and Russia nervous enough to apply heavy pressure on Kimmie to abandon his latest toys. It may take rumors of Japan developing nuclear weapons to get China that nervous. I'm also scratching my head, wondering if the latest Taiwan/China tempest may have been a shadow play for China's benefit: "look, we're reigning in Taiwan and getting them to cool their talk about independence, you now need to take care of Kimmie." I'm not sure Bush is that convoluted, but I suspect either Wolfowitz or Rice may be.

The problem with the Donks is that they don't have ANY new ideas, and that includes ideas about how to conduct foreign affairs. That lack of innovative thinking, more than anything else, will be their doom next November.

#9 Does anybody think that the embarassment about corruption will swollow Roh? If so, will the negotiations be back to square one?
