Thanks.

Additional reports. My, former Prime Minister Hashimoto in D.C. at this moment is sure talking with the Japanese press. He says the White House has entered into immediate discussions on this problem with the Congress. I am sure the Bush admin. has summoned the major leaders there, or they had a second meeting today after the signing for a major briefing on the findings of Kelly's trip to Pyongyang. Serious. Red Hot news.

Additional follow up. Analysis from Asahi news today in Japanese was the North Korea did their traditional 'setogiwa gaiko' tactic (literally: "brinksmanship diplomacy"), of suddenly upsetting the apple cart and raising this card and using it in the talks that Kelly was conducting in Pyongyang to sue for continuation of talks. They are holding this out as a threat. Further, they surmised the difficulty, question at this time as to how the US will react and manage two major crises at this time, while they were (are) trying to concentrate on military action against Iraq first and foremost. Said the US steps will be to proclaim its desire to 'solve this peacefully' and form a coalition of allies in Asia, Japan/S. Korea namely, to also say they are for peace and united with the US demanding no further construction or action on the part of North Korea for nuke development.

Boy, pure George Bush is going to need some Grecian Formula and Tums in the morning.
