Ping!
Hummmmmmmmm I wonder what Kerry would do???
Ummmmm!
Mr. Han, I think that we tried negotiations once before.
Remember when Mad Maddie was dancing her little flower petal dance after you guys promised to dismantle your nuc program??? You lied to us!
Now, either accept or offer, or you will be surrounded by nuclear tipped missles, you little piss-ant!
I have another take on this should Bush lose (won't happen by the way). Should Bush lose the election, and I were a third world dictator, those last three months of the Bush Presidency would make me very very nervous. When he has nothing to lose, Bush might just take off the gloves.
If we were negotiating with a tough adversary, but we had inklings they were going to have a Western democratic revolution in a few months (i.e. a new government more favorable to us) for sure we would do the same thing, i.e. we would stall in order to deal with a government to our liking and benefit.
It is so clear that North Korea SLOBBERS at the prospect of a Kerry Administration. I don't know why more is not being made of this in the campaign...it makes the Kerry choice look untenable for national security reasons.
Koreans are really hard to do business with (in general) as well. Closing a deal is more the beginning of negotiation than the end.
Right out of the democRAT talking points!
These stories are like recycled greeting cards.
Deputy Ambassador Han said, “When a superpower like the U.S. doesn’t believe us, it is difficult for us to believe Washington first... A big country should first believe a small country.”
...Han answered, "The U.S. and Britain quietly negotiated with Libya for eight months. But there have never been negotiations with us in any form.”
I'll bet he said it with a straight face too.
Big surprise, huh?
I saw a documentary on the satellite civilization channel about N.Korea, outlining the society and human right abuses.
Among other things, there were actual BILLBOARDS which read in translation "We will defeat the US with nuclear bombs."
Just food for thought.
