I think that Bush is now at the point he doesn't care, he just wants to get NK out of the headlines.

It doesn't seem we have accomplished that. So, like Peter Pan, Bolten, and GI Korea that North Korea has just had its mode of operation validated. Boy, the failure of the ICBM and nuke tests have just been turned into whopping sucesses....

Lessons learned by NK (and Iran) 1. Build Nuke 2. Test Nuke 3. Hold mankind for ransom 4. Collect 5. When supplies of expensive alcohol run out, repeat process again. Personally, if I was calling the shots, the deal would have been this: "You disarm now, prove it's disarmed within two weeks, or we test a nuke in KJI's swimming pool." There can be no negotiations, they only incur rage more bad behavior. That's probably why I'm not calling the shots eh? I’m not happy to see such results either. Lessons learned by NK (and Iran)
