N Korea's dramatic turnaround

Albright clinking glasses with the "Dear Leader"

By diplomatic correspondent Barnaby Mason

The reported willingness of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, to restrain his country's long-range missile programme would be another step in meeting the worries of the United States and other western states.

The American Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, said after her unprecedented talks with Mr Kim in Pyongyang that she took his remarks as showing a serious desire to resolve a range of issues relating to missiles.

On the face of it, there has been a dramatic turnaround.

God, how the world laughed at the USA during the Clinton years. Time after time, Clinton would perform outrageous diplomatic blunders, clearly againt US interests, while our enemies smirked and feigned cordial accord. Remember the African Apology Tour, the endless stumping for the Nobel Peace Prize and appeasements of alQueda? We were the laughing stock in the nineties.

So when I hear from friends on the left that the USA is now the worrisome target of universal hand wringing and finger wagging for GWB's "cowboy" tactics, I can only stifle a giggle. I prefer a cowboy to an immature clown.

Their last declaration, concerning their "Secret Nuke Program", makes it obvious why they were so happy.

"This just in. Ms. Albright and her boss will now discuss their failed
agreement with North Korea, and other terrorists, as they gave US nuclear,
missile, location, and patent secrets to enemies of the US people.
She may also, at last, finally discuss her maligning of the present President given
her utter incompetancet.
At last, we will find out ..........

As Rush would say, what a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.

It all sort of adds up, doesn't it.

What I find interesting is what is missing from all the reports about this North Korean
duplicity.
I've not yet heard the phrase:

TRUST, BUT VERIFY

I guess this shows:
1. most journalists don't have any sort of memory or training in history
AND/OR
2. they really, really hate Reagan.

Thanks for posting this.

I'll never forget Albright's public railing against Bush, after his Axis of Evil speech, for including North Korea... after all her hard work there! ;)

It was the first thing I thought of, after hearing the North Korea news last week... MORE Clinton-era ineptitude.

If they thought all Americans looked and acted like her and Bubba it's little wonder they started to try to make the bomb again.
