The U.S. intelligence chief says that North Korea is unlikely to dismantle its nuclear weapons program in a year, although it is "technically" possible.
Reuters reported that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats made the remarks on Thursday at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.
The report said Coats was responding to a question about U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton's recent suggestion of a one-year timeframe for the North’s denuclearization.
Bolton said that if Pyongyang was willing to disclose all of its weapons of mass destruction programs, it would be possible to dismantle the "overwhelming bulk" of them within a year.
Coats said that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has clearly stated the North's denuclearization is going to take some time and has projected a longer timeframe, adding it's a much more complicated process than most people think.
His remarks echoed President Donald Trump's recent comments that there is no time limit for the North's denuclearization, and Pompeo's claim that it may take some time to achieve the goal.
What are the odds Coats is gone by Monday?
I don’t know if a year is the right deadline, but if they don’t remove themselves from threat status, we need to fully treat them as a threat that is promising us violence. I would argue for a “wipe them out” strategy and give the land to S Korea.
Hannity or Tucker played a clip of Coats being interviewed Aby CNBC or MSN in aspen. He was mocking President Trump for the pending summit with Putin. He looked hateful. Yes, the bastard needs to go.
RINOs suck every bit as much as democrats do.
I certainly hope so...we need a computer literate DNI not another recycled old fogie.
Mike Rogers for instance...
Why did Trump appoint Coats? Total Deep Stater.
We could denuclearize them in 5 minutes.
Mass murder isn't such a good look...keep trying.
Yup. Air Force live fire target practice.
No sh!t, Sherlock.
No one thought it would happen that fast.
I knew Coats was a Bush League Republican, why didn’t President Trump?
They sure do.

First item: All the warheads, ship to the U.S.
Second item: All the enriched Uranium or Plutonium, ship to the U.S.
Third item: All the centrifuges, ship to the U.S.
Forth item: All the missile engines, ship to the U.S.
Fifth item: Destroy the rest of the missiles in place
Sixth item: All pre-enriched material
Seventh item: Nuclear power plants (capable of making Plutonium)
The last item will take a while, but the rest can happen quite quickly and mostly in parallel.
Why was he speaking at the Aspen conference? That place featured Brennan last and others. Was that on America’s dime?

Brennan and Clapper in Aspen, interviewed by Blitzer. Why is Dan Coats attending a gathering like this?
Political whores.
Dan Coats is a first class low life with no qualifications to be in that job. He is a 75 year old geezer who has sided with the Dems on brady bill, gun control, LGBT, open borders, Obamas foreign policy...you name it.
