I really don't understand how the State Department--regardless who the Secretary is--work. It seems they like to do tit-for-tat strategy without doing the tit.

Like the Treasury Department officials who are continually “surprised” when the economy doesn’t act like they want it to.

People are covering their tails on this one--because they know what may be about at stake, a heavy, hefty price which was not necessary.

I hold Clinton, Carter, "W" BUSH, etc, and OBAMA of course, the whole damned idiotic rotten lot of them, accountable for this travesty and danger.

Follow FreeRepublic in the October 2006 to January 2009 period and you will know how many Korean Peninsula experts here were just absolutely LIVID with the "W" Administration, particularly with Condi Rice and Chris Hill, but of course the President signed off on everything, and how we are about to be served a huge Korean Peninsula crap sandwich.

Sorry if the remaining Bushbots on FR are uncomfortable with this reality, but it is the honest truth, and the writer above intimates what is deniable. It was bipartisan. One big screw up.

The Obama administration is calling for Diplomacy.

We know how that works out when the Democrats are handling the 'negotiations'.
