NKorea says pact requires only "suspension" of nuclear facilities

Other parties at six-nation talks in Beijing offered North Korea the equivalent of 1 mln tonnes of heavy fuel oil in connection with the "temporary suspension of the operation of its nuclear facilities," said the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

However, the text of the agreement reached earlier refers to the "disablement of all existing nuclear facilities" in return for the fuel aid and makes no reference to a temporary suspension.

Looks like it is going to be a lot harder for me to criticize Clinton and Mad Maddie over their deals with No. Korea. Seems this administration is following the same path. Guarantees, agreements and promises are there to be broken and the North knows it. Uncle Sucker....and we pay.
