So much for the 'Axis of Evil' - Bush Administration caught trying to make deal with North Korea

[ck4829]

The United States offered to remove North Korea from Washington's list of states sponsoring terrorism if the communist regime dismantles its atomic weapons program, South Korea's main nuclear envoy said Tuesday.

The proposal was just one of the incentives the U.S. spelled out last week at six-nation nuclear disarmament talks with the North, along with offers of security guarantees, a peace treaty and normalization of relations, Chun Yung-woo said.

"The point of the proposal is that everything is possible if North Korea denuclearizes and nothing is possible if it refuses," Chun told news cable channel YTN.

North Korea was not prepared to review the U.S. offer at the talks, but promised to study it and bring a response to the next round of negotiations, he said.

2. NKorea has bargaining power now

They can get "things" by just promising to not test any more nukes for a while.

That is hillarious. Or it would be if it weren't so sorry a spectacle.

Just when I think they can't CAN"T do anything worse, they do.

4. With nukes,

or the threat of them, you get negotiation.

Without, you get invaded.
