[Las Vegas Dave]

Bush's top advisers have recommended a broad new approach to dealing with North Korea that would include beginning negotiations on a peace treaty, NYT planning to report in Thursday Page Ones... Developing...

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

it brought the soviet union without a shot fired. Capitalism, it works.

[ohioWfan]

Yeah...........that signing of the Tax Relief today was an illusion.

Don't let the truth get in the way of your incredibly unclever bashing.

You might never recover your reputations if you ever admitted that you say whatever you feel like saying just for attention, regardless of reality.

[plain talk]

Since we're clueless and guessing - it could be a move to try and get Russia and China to help us out with Iran (although I am not sure Russia and China would actually want us negotiating directly with them or not). But I offer that as a possibility. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

[Yaelle]

Your post has me LOL.

[ohioWfan]

OH..........yeah.............and the economy's a bust too, and Iraq doesn't have a new government either.

Dismal failure all around that Bush.......yessireee BOB!

[ohioWfan]

Me too. It's too idiotic to take seriously.

I always laugh at the class clowns.....

[The KG9 Kid]

No, this is the perfect time for this to be addressed.

There's no tactical reason we need to have troops at the Korean DMZ.

Let the South Koreans sleep in the political bed they've made with their recent comments. Pull the US out and whatever happens, happens.

[Fudd Fan]

NYSlimes? ptui

Actually, this may not be a bad idea. Right now, the imminent danger is from Iran.

North Korea is an evil regime, but their leaders act in their own self-interest, like a cold-war adversary. It is not in the North Korean leadership's self-interest to actually start a nuclear war in which they would be annihilated.

Iran's leadership represents the greater danger. They have all but publicly announced their intentions to use their nuclear weapons when they have them. They are motivated by an ideology that says it may be worth dying to achieve certain goals. While immigration is important, and Iraq is very important, the single most important objective of our foreign policy ought to be to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. If we have to make nice with some unsavory people to achieve that objective, it may be a wise choice.

[Fudd Fan]

I'm waiting for Bush Team Wants Peace Talks with Conservatives...one-issue voters.

There, fixed it.

[Fudd Fan]

If you think this administration is incompetent, you must have loved Clinton and Carter.

[GWB00]

I heard from TNYTs that this is to facilitate a deal for North Korea to buy some U.S.Ports.

[sageb1]

North Korea is a pretty interesting place to visit on Google Earth, that's for sure.

[ohioWfan]

Wow. You failed history, didn't you?

Do you really think that saying the dumbest possible things with no basis in historical fact will make an impression on people around here?

You are advertising the fact that Bush haters are as dumb as rocks, CROSS.

Unbelieveable! Doesn't the TRUTH matter to you at all??

[ohioWfan]

This is the most stupid man on FR, Fudd Fan.

He HAS to be from DU.

[bnelson44]

I think this is a trial balloon to see how Americans will react. Some points to consider:

1) Peace with NK would mean a more relaxed border between NK and SK. Something both countries want.

2) More US troops out of Korea. Something the US and Korea want

3) Recognition of sorts by the US of NK, something NK desperately wants.

4) A diplomatic "in" to unilateral talks on NK nukes. And possibly a way to get NK to stop trading in arms.

CROSSHIGHWAYMAN?

Gone!

[Mo1]

Looks like he's been sent back

[onyx]

He's been sent back to DU.
