Masters of diplomacy

RATS!!!


The Bush Adminstration is about to get a deal from North Korea.

Better than the deal Clinton got with Carters help.

North Korea's government is going to get away with it once again.

Why should we expect any diffrent result?

So they have to bribe the North Koreans to give up their nukes. It is worth it if it avoids a war, even a teensy one.

"There was never a good war nor a bad peace" I think Churchill said that, but it may have been someone even smarter.

Juniorbush has not demonstrated that he knows doodly-squat about diplomacy. Clinton was pretty good at it, and so was Carter.

Olebush was the clown that sent a bunch of US troops to guard Saudi Arabia, and allowed some of the evangelical ones among them  to bring thousands of Arabic Bibles, which is how bin Laden managed to get 20 suicidal maniacs to join the 9-11 effort.

When Republicans get elected, more of the world hates us.
Why? because Republican foreign policy is more hateful.

I don't see whay the North Koreans shouldn't take the bribes and also build the nukes.

Carter was this dumb and Clinton was this dumb , but Bush being this dumb is much more dissapointing.

Recognizing Juniorbush doing dumb things is sort of like recognizing hyenas as being poor pets.

I suppose your clever ploy would be to invade North Korea.

North Korea’s official media has said flowers come into bloom when he appears and rainbows fill the sky on his birthday.

A treaty with North Korea that would prevent them from making nukes and peddling them about makes really good sense. The cost of building power plants that will not produce nuclear fuel is a very small price to pay, compared to the immense mess that North Korea coulf cause by attacking Seoul or selling missiles to other countries or entities0

The US negotiator was on NPR the other day, and it seems to me that the current treaty is entirely reasonable, since there seem to be workable methods for assuring that NK is not producing more nukes.

I don't think this happened because of Juniorbush, more like in spite of him. It may turn out to be the only successful foreign accomplishment that happened on his watch.

How would a treaty prevent them from making nukes and peddling them ?
