USA diplomacy with North Korea marches on! Maybe I should go build a bomb shelter......
The meetings come just days after a senior U.S. official said North Korea claimed in talks this week in Beijing to have atomic weapons that it might test, sell or use, depending on U.S. actions.
Might sell? Did the NK's say that, or is this something that the Bush Admin added to make it's case? Hell I might load up my car with Fizzies® and drive downtown and dump them into a fountain, but that doesn't mean I'm going to. It also doesn't give the cops the right to come confiscate my Fizzies® stash, just in case I might do something stupid like that. But then again, the Syrian's might have WMD, so we better get out the whuppin' stick.....
In Washington, the White House said it would confer with allies about possibly seeking U.N. sanctions against the North. In the past, North Korea has said it would consider international sanctions a declaration of war.
Now wait a second. Didn't the US just spend the last three months telling the world that UN sanctions don't work and used it as a justifcation for war against Iraq? Is this the same country that basically gave the UN the finger because it refused to act? Now they want to go back to the UN and use sanctions to starve an already starving populace in the name of OUR national interest?
I'm sure the French, Germans, and Russians will be more than happy to help us out.
Oh great. Let's poke an already dangerous and unpredictable country who's leader is about half-crazy to start with, and see what happens. I'm sure the South Koreans sleep well at night knowing that their long-time ally has their best interest at heart......
