I thought I saw this on morning Fox News, however, I looked far and wide and could find no reference to it except here.

North Koreans are waiting with baited breath.

[Semper Paratus]

You bet they're waiting for Kerry.

the Pyongyang Day Care Center will be kept open in case Madeline Albright wants to come back.

N. Korea Wants To Deal With Kerry

Of course they do...they can get a better deal.

All of our enemies want sKerry.

[Rebelbase]

"North Koreans are waiting with baited breath."

Literally.

[jennyjenny]

Of course they are....which is exactly why he must not win.

[VRWCmember]

Of course they do. They got such a good deal with clinton they can't wait to have kerry bend over for them.

[sonofagun]

It's interesting to note that Kerry has already impacted foreign affairs by directly causing the stall in negotions with NK.

[freeperfromnj]

Maybe he'll get a statue out of it.

[Admin Moderator]

Please include original titles.
Thanks.

I think "steamroll sKerry" is more like it.

[SeaBiscuit]

All enemies of America want to talk with sKerry. Because they know he is weak, a sellout and traitor to America. What boggles my mind is, that too many American's don't seem to know that as well.

[QQQQQ]

THIS is the real reason Bush was furious with Kerry at the first debate, because Bush was aware of the serious consequences of Kerry advocating a softer policy towards Korea.

My guess is that we may have been close to a breakthrough, then when N. Korea started to listen to Kerry they stopped the talks.

Kerry is already doing damage to us and our foreign policy, and giving aid and comfort and tangible help to our enemies.

KCNA Urges U.S. to Rebuild Groundwork of Six-party Talks

Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) -- U.S. State Deputy Secretary Armitage was reported to have blustered that if north Korea rejects the resumption of the six-party talks it is possible for the U.S. to refer the issue to the UN Security Council so that it may discuss sanctions. This remark arouses the vigilance of the DPRK. This only reveals the U.S. foolish attempt to shift the blame for the delay of the resumption of the six-party talks on to the DPRK and put pressure upon it to come out to the talks.

The public opinion is growing critical of this remark as it indicated the U.S. true intention to settle the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. by strength, not through dialogue.

Senior officials of the U.S. State Department are asserting that the DPRK is deliberately delaying the talks, waiting for the outcome of the U.S. presidential election in the hope that the six-party talks can be represented by a better partner from the U.S. This is sheer nonsense. The DPRK is not in a position to come out to the talks because the U.S. has deliberately laid a stumbling block in the way of the dialogue and dropped a check-bar on it.

The DPRK's stand to seek a negotiated settlement of the nuclear issue remains unchanged. The DPRK set it as its general goal to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, advanced the proposal of "reward for freeze" from a steadfast stand to seek a peaceful negotiated solution to the nuclear issue and has made sincere efforts for its materialization.

Had the U.S. accepted the aboveboard proposal, the fourth round of the six-party talks would have already been held and have proved fruitful.

The U.S., however, clarified its political stance that there can never be any reward even after the DPRK freezes its nuclear facilities, consistently asserted that the DPRK must accept the CVID in an aim to disarm it and has threatened it, saying that the U.S. has even a military option on the table.

What should not be overlooked is the fact that it raised a hue and cry over the fiction of "uranium enrichment" of the DPRK while shutting eyes to the nuclear-related secret experiments conducted by south Korea, as if nothing serious had happened.

These improper acts of the U.S. prompted by its hostile policy toward the DPRK have totally overturned the groundwork of the talks, beclouding their prospect.

This notwithstanding, the U.S. is claiming that the DPRK is to blame for the delay of the resumption of the talks in a bid to mislead the public opinion and contemplating even UN sanctions. This is an intolerable criminal act.

Sanctions mean a war and war does not know any mercy. If the U.S. applies more sanctions to the DPRK by putting the UN in motion, the DPRK will promptly and resolutely react to it with self-defensive war deterrent force.

Then the U.S. will be held wholly responsible for all ensuing fatal consequences.

The U.S. should not talk about sham dialogue which is no more than a window-dressing but take a sincere and constructive stand to approach talks with a true willingness to solve the nuclear issue, judging the reality with reason before regretting belatedly.

If the U.S. is willing to solve the nuclear issue peacefully, though belatedly, it should stop applying double-standards over the nuclear issue, drop its hostile policy toward the DPRK and rebuild the groundwork of the talks.

Only then can the six-party talks be put on its track and can progress be made for a solution to the nuclear issue.

The DPRK is of the view that the nuclear issue can be solved only when both sides of the DPRK and the U.S. discuss the issue from an equal stand of respecting and trusting each other.

U.S. says North Korea "miscalculating" (N. Korea Wants To Deal With Kerry)

I would like to point out what happened to the last dictator that miscalulated the US; Saddam Hussein's sitting in a jail cell (well, a hospital recovery room) awaiting a trial and (likely) a date with Mr. Executioner.

[Semper Paratus]

The last 2 spokes of the Axis of Evil are hanging on for a Kerry win. Look for our bargaining position to grow on November 3.

[Rutles4Ever]

Do they even have calculators in North Korea?

[Libertina]

Thanks, big mouth John Kerry, for putting a spanner in the works. How very helpful /s

[BJClinton]

China renewed a diplomatic drive to end the stalemate.

Is that what they call amassing 150K troops on their border?
