On the right, a former top Bush aide joined conservative commentators in calling the deal Pollyannaish.
Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton said the agreement rewards North Korea for bad behavior while encouraging Iran to ignore international demands that it roll back its nuclear program and hold out for a better deal.
"I will be the saddest man in Washington" if Bush goes along with the agreement, Bolton told reporters. "I think the agreement is fundamentally flawed."
Just buying time?
For who?
and
For what?

Biden is correct in this instance.

North Korea will renege. It's not a matter of if, but when.

"The deal announced today essentially freezes the North Korean weapons program, but it does nothing to actually force the country's leaders to give up any of the gains they've made in recent years," Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said. "Unless the Bush administration continues to engage North Korea and stays focused on working diplomatically to find long-term solutions, we are likely to be dealing with this issue again in 12 months." That's Jean Francois Kerri for you. Finally figuring out the disaster that Clinton/Berger/AllDim forged 10 years ago didn't work.

I think the Bush Administration, which folded to the Democrat Party on most issues January 20, 2001, has nearly completely folded on the rest. But with Tony Snow to gently and ambiguously spin the folding.

and the agreement does not spell out how negotiators will resolve issues that have derailed previous pacts. You mean like inspections to insure they are shutting down their reactor?

Kerry says the agreement is too soft on the Norks. His solution: More diplomacy. What a putz.

The only thing missing from this pathetic scenario is Madame Albright toasting Kim Jong Il to the Agreed Framework. Once again, Bush has learned nothing from past mistakes. It's Clintonesque - just reward your enemy to buy a little time and let somebody else deal with the problem when it becomes a crisis.

This is about as valuable as tax reductions that were passed with great fanfare, without ever being made permanent!!!

Right, but I'm very disappointed in Bush. He knows very well what happened after the first fiasco and that makes him worse. The old saying applies - make a fool of me once and it's your fault. Do it twice and it's MY fault. Especially after all that bubameister about "the axis of evil." I guess after they launch another missile he'll send some more fuel oil over.

This a move of severe weakness on Bush's part. His approval ratings are in the toilet, Iraq is a mess, the rats now control Congress and he needs a "win" on something, anything. Giving in to North Korea hits the spot in that respect.
