N. Korea unwilling to give up nuclear ambition: former U.S. diplomat

By Tony Chang

SEOUL, Nov. 16 (Yonhap) -- North Korea does not have any intention of abandoning its nuclear ambitions in the near future, a former senior U.S. diplomat said Monday, forecasting that an upcoming meeting between Washington and Pyongyang will do little to resolve stalled multilateral denuclearization talks.

David Straub, associate director of the Korean Studies Program at the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University, said at a seminar in Seoul that the U.S. representative for North Korea policy will basically "convey a short and simple message" to the country's leaders during his visit.

Finally most eggheads in U.S. calling themselves N. Korea expert appear to have gotten it. It took about 15 years. That is a way too slow learning curve for experts.

Yes, and having already played one Clinton to their advantage, they now have another one to lie to.
