Kerry: Bottom line is no plutonium was processed until inspectors were kicked out and now the have 4 times the number of reactors from the time you came on watch.
My objection is that if you look at the policies across the board, it's hard to pick up a newspaper today or talk to leaders around the world as a senator and not run headlong into the isolation of the US and run into the divisons that we have with our allies.
Can't say the six party talks are a asuccess.
Bolton: I didn't say they were.
Kerry: I know. But why insist on the 6 party talk process which seems to me never joins the fundamental issues between NK and the US which goes back over Republican and Democratic administrations.
Bolton: It's a disagreement between NK and everyone else and the aspect of the 6 party talks we thought most important wasn't negotiating over the head of S Korea.
Kerry: Most people i talk with spend a lot of time in thoughtful institutions believe that NK wants more than anything the assurance that the US wouldn't have a strategy similar to Iraq directed at them. I think the assurance most people suggested we'd have far more success than through these standoff non-existent 6 party talks that produced nothing. Why is the administration refusing to talk with Syria. This non-talk approach doesn't go far.
Bolton: 6 party talks weren't going on for 6 years. Principle reason we haven't had 6 party talks is because the ywon't come to the talks but we've told them they could have and have had bilateral talks within the context of the 6 party talks.
