SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea will not give up its nuclear weapons until the United States provides civilian atomic reactors, Pyongyang said on Tuesday in a statement that significantly undermined a deal reached just a day earlier.
Six countries, including the North and the United States, had agreed on Monday to a set of principles on dismantling the Pyongyang's nuclear programs in return for aid and recognizing its right to a civilian nuclear program.
Skeptics had said the deal was long on words, vague on timing and sequencing and short on action: the North's comments made clear just how short.
"The U.S. should not even dream of the issue of the DPRK's dismantlement of its nuclear deterrent before providing LWRs," said the North Korean Foreign Ministry statement, which was published by the official KCNA news agency.

I wonder if this is materially different from what DPRK specifically agreed to, in principle, at the 6-party talks. I cannot imagine the US agreeing to a replay of the 1994 agreement, which is what this clarification makes the deal appear to be. DPRK, on the other hand, is loopy enough to agree to one thing and say another within 24 hours.

The exhuberance of some FReepers over the North Korea "breakthrough" never made much sense to me. How could there be any doubt that they would find a way to weasel out of the deal?
