LOL
  Sit back, relax and forget about the Exlax.
We certainly haven`t heard the last from N.K.
How many decisions and recants have we had so far? I lost count somewhere around 20 to 25.
They are playing us like a fine violin.
N.K. reminds me of Corky Romano in the movie in the scene where he had just gotten a face full of coke. Got a question? No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes...................:)

Iran gathers allies in nuclear row

Quote
VIENNA, Austria (Reuters) -- Iran has vowed to press ahead with its nuclear program as opposition hardens to an immediate referral of Tehran to the U.N. Security Council over suspicions it is seeking nuclear bombs.


Well, at least we know Bush's approach to the NK nuke problem doesn't work. The Euro approach to Iran's nukes looks like it's going pretty well. Bush should get with them for tips on how to handle NK.

I remember a few years ago Israel bombed a reactor, was that in Iraq or Iran?

I bet if the Massad says that Iran is making nukes the problem will be taken care of without our help.

Rumor has it we gave Kim Senator Clinton...he was thrilled since he knows that she's been a virgin now for at least 25 years.

What a bunch of sceptics!

Well... a statement of principles is not an agreement.

I'm not holding my breath just yet.

At least we didn't give into NK's demands for two light water nuclear reactors.

Bush has and has had the correct approach from the very begining. Bush didn't let NK run all over him/us and refused to be blackmailed or pushed around.

Now, weather the words of NK acually give way to verifiable actions remains to be seen.  It does strike me as a major breakthrough, having NK seemingly crack and state publicly their willingness to scrap their entire nuke program.

Instead, US gave them a promise of non-aggression.

 NK got what they wanted.

Kweassa, if that was all they wanted, I wonder why they tried to get Clinton to build them a nuclear reactor, then went ahead and started cheating on their agreements and started trying to produce nukes?.

NK wanted nuclear weapons IMO.

NK got a compromise as a result of Bush not allowing them to blackmail us. I think this is looking like a definate Bush vitory in the situation. All of the naysayers who said Bush was going about it all wrong are the one's who were wrong it seems.

Same deal with Libyas nuke programs, the remnents of which now reside on US soil. Tough talk backed up with actions are the only thing that gets through to dictators and fanatics.

Who knows if NK will actually follow through though. I'd say it looks good compaired to any point in the last 6 years.

Right now it would take his negotiating of galactic peace for me to ever respect anything with the name BUSH attached.

I'm not congragulating the president on 'mission accomplished' till the misson IS accomplished.

Now, any guesses on just which of his avowed missions he has in fact actually accomplished to date?

Bush positives for me:

Taking responsibilty for what he could in Katrina. Good starting point.

Israel withdrawing from Gaza, hoping the West Bank also.

Negotiating with NK instead of invading. Another good starting point.
