National Review ^ | April 13 | Claudia Rosett

When does President Bush wake up and smell the debacle cooking at his own State Department under the name of a “denuclearization” deal with North Korea? Thanks to U.S. backflips linked to this February 13 agreement, North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Il, while still clinging to his nukes, has now regained access to some $25 million in funds frozen until this week at Banco Delta Asia in Macau.

Why is Ehiopia buying arms from North Korea ?

We need to cultivate some allies on the Horn.

An arms deal with Ethiopia could pay dividends in several respects.
