[Dog Gone]

Uh, James Kelly? Dubya is on line one.

[Husker24]

Unfu**ingbelievable. How about if we give them aid after they, hold free elections, stop putting people in gulags, and stop executing people for speaking against the government.

[Husker24]

Now we will have every turd world country threatening to develope nukes unless we give them something.

[neutrino]

Well...maybe it's not such a bad idea. Seriously, we don't want a two front war. But if we were able to deal with Iraq and get that issue dealt with...and then turn our attention to North Korea...it might work well. The time gained would work to our advantage, and the cost might be minimal.

[Bogey78O]

The Us is no longer in the business of propping up third world countries.

Kim needs a firm explanation.

[PolishProud]

Bush caves again.

Before the bush administration shoots off its mouth about not negotiating with NK maybe it should think first. Now Bush looks like a fool.

And where did North Korea get the technology in the first place?? CHINA. And while the WTO praises China and Americans buy Chinese made goods at an alarming rate, funding this mess, China remains silent.

[madison46]

What a way to make me sick. If nothing else, do nothing and let them implode.

My wet dream....We attack Iraq...while N. Korea thinks we can't pay attention to them, on the same day, at the same time, we send half our B-2's with 16 2k bombs each to take out the nuke plants, rail yards and runways..followed by raids on anything that lets them drive south. Take out their navy and blockade them. Let them eat bullets.

[Once-Ler]

I believe the operative word is "consider."
You all act like this is a done deal.
Am I the only one who questions what I read?

[Timesink]

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!!

[dfwgator]

This is just a token gesture. Of course the North Koreans aren't going to cave in. This just gives W the chance to say, "See we tried."

[arielb]

darn stae dept ruining things again

[DeuceTraveler]

I'm extremely disappointed. We should just remain quiet. If the South Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese want to play appeasment let them. We can handle Iraq and then come back and handle North Korea. Giving in is the worst thing we can do.

[Steel Wolf]

This is nothing more than cheap showmanship, and I suprised that it still goes over a lot of your heads. The North Koreans will get offered something, all right, but it will be at a price that they can never accept. They want to trade oil for promises.

Bush won't settle for promises. He wants to bring down the regime, and he's being advised by people who know how to do it.

Once the terms of the 'deal' become known, you'll see this for what it is. A publicity stunt to look reasonable to the leftists, South Koreans, and other Asian countries, to facilitate an iron clad multilateral case at the U.N. for sanctions later. Sanctions that will bring them down hard.

"We tried everything we could, but some people, you just can't reason with."

If you look back on how Bush handles things, you'll see that he has been doing this for years now. He keeps people off balance, uses simple misdirection, and somehow keeps winding up at the finish line first. It apparently works as well on FReepers as it does Democrats.

[Darksheare]

The aid we should give them is to assassinate their leaders and feed the people afterwards, ironically using the UN to do so.

Pipe dream, though.
The Syphillitic pretender to the throne of North Korea will never be assassinated.

"Once we get beyond nuclear weapons, there may be opportunities with the U.S., with private investors, with other countries to help North Korea in the energy area," Kelly said at a news conference in Seoul.

Bad, Bad policy! The child will continue to thwart the parent as he knows that every time he throws a tantrum he will come out it with a piece of candy or some other reward – for being a brat.

Rush was asking this morning why are all of the other counties, Japan, Russia, Europe etc. looking to the United States to fix the spoiled child problem rather than take it to the United Nations. The absence of Kofi, Jimmy Carter and the other liberal vocalists, is alarmingly silent. Somehow the old and ineffective Clinton team of the 90’s has been thrown in as the sage advisors. How did that happen? By design, since they created the problem maybe they can fix it this time around? I don’t think so! The brat NK is throwing a tantrum just because he can and has gotten away with it in the past with the Clintons and Albright.

President Bush must stand strong on his decision not to bail the rotten spoiled child out this time. The Clinton gang will only mess up things one more time just possibly sending the SK’s in to action sooner than anyone thought possible. North Korea is Part Of The Axis of Evil make no mistake about it.

Will we ever be rid of the duplicitous Clintons and their messes...???

""Once we get beyond nuclear weapons, there may be opportunities with the U.S., with private investors, with other countries to help North Korea in the energy area," Kelly said at a news conference in Seoul."

"Private investors". Any idea who they might be?
