Norks Say No to Nukes...

...and we believe them. 

Or at least, the Hopeandchange acolytes of the Obama administration believe yesterday's announcement that North Korea agreed to a moratorium on nuclear weapons development.

Christian Whiton doesn't believe this, especially when North Korea, or more likely, the Kim Regime, will get lavished with food aid.

Nor do my like-minded friends believe anything good will come of this deal:

DOS will champion this as a major genius triumph of talking…until the Norks get what they want and go off the reservation again.  What was the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome?

I don’t see why you are so upset. This was indeed a victory. We wanted something very specific and we finally achieve it: a diplomatic agreement. Surely you were not under the deluded idea that the goal was to counter or roll back N. Korea’s nuclear weapons program?


I’m so foolish that way…I actually expect results.  Of course, this will be trumpeted any second now as yet another example of The One’s genius “Smart Diplomacy…”
