Kerry wants to have six-party talks and bilateral talks - he wants his flip and his flop too! Of course the whole point of having the 6-party talks is that this shouldn't be about the NK blackmailing the U.S. for false promises. This should be about exerting diplomatic pressure from various players to get Kim to reconsider his position. Holding six-party talks and bilaterals talks is inconsistent and sends the wrong message to Kim Jong Il. John Kerry likes sending the wrong message to our enemies.
