#1 ...I'll believe it when I see it. I don't see anything here that even remotely suggests that this is finally The Day. I'm just pretty convinced that within about 36 hours, the Norks will be all spittle and Sea of Fire again.

#2 I bet the Nork were violating this agreement while it was being read. Depose Kim and maybe you can have some honest talks.

#3 I've seen this one before, it's a re-run! It's the one where lil' Kim lies trough his teeth and secretly developes nukes.

#4 Hey! That's not the URL they gave me! lol. North Korea. I don't trust them as far as I can...well...I don't trust them!

Besides, what about the people and the conditions which they are forced to live? Please don't stop fighting for them. Remember Tienemnin Square? No one paid attention until that outrages and murderous day. That happens everyday in NK.

How are you doing? Well, I hope. Have a great day.

#5 It's entirely possible the Chinese took the NORKS aside, put an arm around their shoulders, and said "Look here assholes"

#7 Maybe he got caught red-handed, like Libya. Encouraging a light water reactor to produce energy so they aren't dependent upon ME oil either may be smart. I wonder if they can convert the weapons to fuel and burn them? If so, we may have a strategic reserve in case of a global oil crisis.

#8 Interesting semantics. SKor removes nuclear wepaons - US parks Tridents off the coast. China and Russia push for the pacification role. Give Kimmie some fuel and energy and we'll keep him from moving his army south. Now moving West, China and Russia stand to gain substantial oil reserves by getting in good with the soon to be nuclear armed and oil wealthy Iranians. Neither country will commit troops to stop Iran's ambitions, let the US exhaust themselves with another politically and militarilty costly venture while we exploit the spoils. Russia and China, long term also need to be concerned with a nuclear Iran. North Korea's nukes are for the preservation of a moonbat, Iran's are for the spread of a hateful ideology. Wake up boys!

#9 North Korea Demands Nuclear Reactor
Updated 9:02 PM ET September 19, 2005

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea demanded Tuesday that the United States give it a light water nuclear reactor before it rejoins the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and ends its weapons program.

The North's Foreign Ministry made the demand a day after it agreed at six-nation talks in Beijing to give up its arms efforts, rejoin the treaty, and accept inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

"We will return to the NPT and sign the safeguards agreement with the IAEA and comply with it immediately upon the U.S. provision of LWRs, a basis of confidence-building to us," the ministry said in the statement, carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency....
