MOSCOW, RUSSIA -- The Obama administration’s special envoy for North Korea said Monday he is ‘encouraged’ by the talks he had with North Korea last week and said that the US is ready to sign a peace agreement if the Korean peninsula is denuclearized.
“I am encouraged by the fact that North Korea is ready to renew the six-party talks,” Stephen Bosworth told reporters in Moscow following a three-day trip to Pyongyang last week.
"As to timelines, there are no timelines," he added. "I would only say that we and our partners in this process, we very much want to resume this work as soon as possible. We are prepared to do that and I know that other countries are as well," he told reporters.
The goal of Bosworth’s trip to the Hermit Kingdom was to bring North Korea back to the six-party talks they backed out of last year (which included South Korea, China, Japan and Russia). Following the last meetings Friday, Pyongyang indicated that Bosworth was successful when they released a statement saying the two sides “reached a series of common understandings of the need to resume the six-party talks.”
North Korea also agreed to cooperate with the U.S. to “narrow down the remaining differences.”

Only an utter jackass could be "encouraged" by such a statement.
So I guess Stephen sat down and had tea with them and calls that progress. Hahahahahaha.
They must be laughing their asses off at the gullible Obamists.

I don’t buy it - every time LIL KIM is ‘open’ to talks, we give them millions of dollars in ‘incentives’ and they go right back to doing what they were doing before, until the money runs out again...Did we learn nothing from Clinton’s appeasement?
