#3  Democratic nominee John Kerry contends the administration has mishandled the North Korea problem and should have embraced the Clinton-era policy of direct talks with the country.

Yeah, they worked out just great, eh, Jawn?

#2  Compensation package?


Hahahahahahahahahaha!

You won't get one from the Bush Administration. Maybe you can hold out for Kerry for a long shot attempt at Jimmuh/Halfbright dhimmitude appeasement. Don't hold your breath. And the SKor plutonium thing was small potatoes. It is a red DEAD HERRING, heh.

#1  saw that on Captain's Quarters too - good for Powell:
A North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman told the official KCNA news agency that the United States must drop its hostile policy and be prepared to join a compensation package in return for the North freezing its nuclear programs.

The North also said the United States must accept its proposal to discuss what it called "South Korea's nuclear problem" first at the talks, referring to tests with nuclear materials conducted in the South by scientists in the past that Seoul said were never authorized.


Ummm....no
