Gary Samore, the WMD Czar is supposed to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Samore negotiated the original arms treaty with North Korea, under the Clinton administration. We know how well that worked out.

In interviews and articles, Samore has been openly skeptical of North Korea's willingness to abandon its nuclear weapons program. As a State Department official, Samore helped negotiate the original 1994 agreement with North Korea. But in an interview last October, he said that the latest agreement negotiated by the Bush Administration, which called for Washington to remove North Korea from the list of terrorist-sponsoring states and requires North Korea to continue dismantling its plutonium facilities and permit inspections, was only a "very modest step forward." "It allows the next administration to carry on," he said. "But we shouldn't kid ourselves: This is only the very beginning of the toughest part of the negotiations," he said.
Samore was also skeptical of efforts to negotiate a protocol to the 1972 treaty banning the development and production of germ weapons, an effort that both the Clinton and Bush administrations ultimately abandoned as futile.
