The United States was about to announce a deal that would put a stop to North Korea's uranium enrichment program when it was announced that the country's leader, Kim Jong Il, had died, a senior U.S. official told CBS on Tuesday.

The Obama administration, according to the official, was due to announce that the U.S. would make a large donation of food aid to North Korea, and in turn North Korea was to announce the suspension of its controversial uranium enrichment program.

I guess Obama can blame his latest failure on "deadwinds."

This supposed deal would score off the charts in the laugh test.

We would make the large donation and they would continue on as before.

As usual.

The more I read about about Kim jong il and his administration, the more Obama reminds me of him. Telling people he’s supernatural, being the best at everything he touches, taking credit for good and placing blame for bad.. Two peas in a pod.

We give them plutonium, and they stop enriching uranium.

State Department also acknowledged that Kim had said that Obama was the best president the US has ever had. And Kim was going to become a democracy to emulate this wonderful president Tell us more dear leader, tell us more. BS

I don’t believe a word of it. Barry would have already said something about it ten times if there were anything even in the works with the scum in NK. I guess the next step in this particular propaganda campaign is to write articles about how difficult it was to deal with the NK thugs after Bush messed up the extortion payment arrangements Clinton had made.

N. Korean military intervention or another location because a deal was struck? Or is this another lie from the zer0 and his minions? Misinformation, but for what reason, other than to blame no announcement of a deal since the dealer died but say a deal was made? Not adding up to 1+1 (imho).
