Huge Victory For Bush and US

This would be the third country now disarmed of their weapons of mass destruction under the Bush administration, yet where are all the accolades for a job well done diplomatically getting this achieved with this country as well as Libya. The third country is of coarse Iraq which we had tyo do forcefully only because of Saddam Hussein's duplicity and lies for 13 years left a strong leader like Bush at the time and this country no choice after 9-11.

Job well done here on this subject, at least it appears on the surface to have been. We'll of coarse have to see if North Korea keeps up their end of the bargain which they have not done in past arrangements.

N.Korea agrees to disable nuclear program in 2007

Politics News | Reuters.com: "GENEVA (Reuters) - North Korea agreed in weekend talks with the United States to fully account for and disable its nuclear programs by the end of this year, negotiators said on Sunday."We had very good, very substantive talks," U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill told reporters. "One thing that we agreed on is that (North Korea) will provide a full declaration of all of their nuclear programs and will disable their nuclear programs by the end of this year, 2007."

North Korea's top nuclear envoy said separately his delegation was pleased with the outcome of the talks, held to hasten the end of Pyongyang's nuclear programme, a target agreed to in principle in 2005 in exchange for diplomatic and economic benefits.

"We agreed about many things," Kim Kye-gwan, speaking in Korean, told reporters. "We made it clear, we showed clear willingness to declare and dismantle all nuclear facilities."

Hill said the details of the "very important" agreement would be worked out later this month when six-way negotiations -- which also involve South Korea, China, Russia and Japan -- reconvene with a plenary session hosted by China. continued
