"China is NOT our friend. They don't give a damn about helping us. This display of power by China has made us look ridiculous and weak"

I was thinking the same thing. The U.S. is far more powerful than China, (at least for now), but China showed a will to face down NK that the U.S. did not have.

UM....y'all don't know what kind of "back door" deals are going on....so all this after the fact guessing is really idiotic.

???

And just who has been holding the feet of all these nations in these "6 Nation Talks" to the fire against all criticism?

Condi hasn't been toasting champaign with the little madman - she carries a big stick from Washington...Maybe people are too used to politicians who blow their own horn, who hog the cameras an who want the credit for everything.

Pres. Bush works tirelessly to get the job done - and when it finally starts showing success, he pulls back and let's others take the credit. That's the way he is...It isn't a weakness, it's a strength.

The weakness comes in people/pundits who have no access to what is said and done - only think they do - and make pontifical judgments...

One thing for sure - if 'we the people' saw/read/knew one tittle of what comes across the President's desk every day, we'd all be digging caves to crawl into. Not only does Pres. Bush have to handle all this, he does so with little thanks from anyone...even those who should be a little smarter

Well...don't you think maybe NK and China can orchestrate this for the sake of the world press? Sounds pretty much like a case of "good cop/bad cop" to me, with the US unwittingly cast as the bad cop.
