China has proposed a new draft of a statement by negotiators at the ongoing talks on North Korea's nuclear program, the U.S. envoy said Monday after weekend discussions were snarled by the North's demands for what it should receive in exchange for disarming.

"Our decision is to give up nuclear weapons and programs related to nuclear weapons if the United States removes its nuclear threat against us and when trust is built," Kim said outside the North Korean Embassy in Beijing.
Simple answer to the semi-Krazy Kim and his fully-Krazy boss - don't <expletive deleted> with us, and we won't <expletive deleted> you up.
OK, thake the nukes out and redeploy them somewhere else, meanwhile retask a few silos in North Dakota. Does it really matter where the things are launched the end result is the same.
F off, Kim.
Doesn't matter what N. Korea's excuse or blame, they're not giving up their weapons. Didn't Jimmah Cahteh negotiate a no-nothing agreement back in '93? N. Korea's been stalling ever since.
I think the fab-14 senators have the solution. NK gives up its nukes and we promise to to go nuclear against NK except in "extraordinary" circumstances.
Sounds like a non-starter since nukes can be delivered to any point on earth in 90 minutes or less.
