WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday offered North Korea a peace treaty, normal ties and aid if it eliminates its nuclear arms program and stressed her desire to work more cooperatively with China.
Speaking ahead of a trip to Japan, Indonesia, South Korea and China next week, Clinton also said North Koreans deserved political rights, urged Myanmar to free opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and, in a comment that may irk Beijing, said Tibetans and all Chinese deserved religious freedom.
Searching for a way to end North Korea's nuclear programs is likely to be one of the main topics on Clinton's week-long trip to Asia that will also cover the global financial crisis and climate change.
"If North Korea is genuinely prepared to completely and verifiably eliminate their nuclear weapons program, the Obama administration will be willing to normalize bilateral relations, replace the peninsula's long-standing armistice agreements with a permanent peace treaty, and assist in meeting the energy and other economic needs of the North Korean people," Clinton said at New York's Asia Society.

I don’t know what the problem is here. Iran and NK will say “Well THANK you, that was ALL we wanted—someone to ask us nicely!” and will completely reform. :) Wheeeeee!
Obama’s re-election campaign will show the price of the stimulus, NK and Iran continuing their ways, and the slogan: “Obama—At least he tried!”
Oh yeah. This’ll work.
I say we make them a deal. Hilary join’s Kim Il Jung’s harem of white women, we get them to give up their nuclear plans.
Who’s with me!
Less than a month and she’s already kissing ass.
Surely we have some actresses that would be willing to volunteer, or has Obama taken the good ones?
‘zackly. The only thing new is that Old Crusty said it.
Undoing every aspect of a defense policy that has kept the homeland free from major attacks for 7+ years. They want to feed and supply the North Korean army now?
Clintoon - bought and paid for during the Clinton years.
It’s the same. The difference is the leadership involved in verifying N Korea’s end of the bargain. They couldn’t get away with rampant cheating before. This administration however...
This isn’t satire?
The only offer she should make to NK is one where Jung-Il takes retirement and Seoul becomes the capital of a united Korea.
Oh yeah. This’ll work.
If the clinton machine hadn’t put them on life support we would be having a very different conversation about N Korea, if it even existed as a separate state, right now.
BHO pandering to US enemies.
He is rapidly UNDOING all the efforts of the USA ....
I wish it was.
Oh man... Notallbright wasn’t that blatant,,, ugh
Well, maybe if we just give North Korea nuclear technology and China rocket and weapons technology advances like we did in the Klinton years, they will be our friends.

Nit picking I know, but we did not GIVE weapon (missle) guidance technology to the ChiComs during Clinton. It was SOLD to them for campaign money. Recall Chinagate and all the sordid treasonous details.
“U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday offered North Korea a peace treaty, normal ties and aid if it eliminates its nuclear arms program”
What a nitwit. So, get rid of nuclear weapons, continue to be belligerent, continue to starve your population, continue to oppress your citizens, but you’ll get aid and a treaty. Doesn’t take much these days to get on our good side.
as ann the great said, “if they had brains they would be republicans”
wll they are not republicans, they do not think like us and we are just screwed.
Déjà vu
Hillary Clinton on Friday offered North Korea a peace treaty, normal ties and aid if it eliminates its nuclear arms program and stressed her desire to work more cooperatively as Bill did and gave the nulcers power plant in the first place no word from the msm on that little item.
More like admiration. She admires the way Kim jong ill enslaves his subjects and would like to emulate him.
Good ones? We have “good” actresses?
I realize that. I was just repeating what the former Klinton administration did.
I meant in bed.
