We had a good first day today," Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill told reporters Thursday evening after North Korea agreed in principle to take initial steps toward dismantling its nuclear programs.

No, they'll still insist that Jummy Carter and Bill Clinton were responsible for the disarmament and that Bush plans to invade North Korea in a go-it-alone strategy in order to seize the North Korean Oil

The best interest of the U.S. is in reducing the amount of nuclear weapons around the world, period. The Democrat Party and the Republican Party agree this is an important global issue.
It is the American people who judge Bush's performance, and I am sure the American people have the heart to give credit where credit is due. However, this is the job U.S. taxpayers are paying the Executive Branch to accomplish. The Bush White House deserves credit for performing the tasks they receive salaries for. One party seldom gives the other party credit for performance. The Republicans didn't give Franklyn Roosevelt any credit for providing jobs during the Great Depression. In fact, the Republicans hated FDR and his wife.

Why is a good thing for our country bad news for "dems?" In case you hadn't noticed, democrats want to control nuclear arms (in North Korea and elsewhere) in our country's best interest as much as republicans...
I'll give credit to the negotiators who are working with North Korea -- where it belongs. And to Bush for hiring such people. However, one good result after 7 years amid so many diplomatic failures doesn't suddenly make Bush a world-class diplomat...

Let's wait and see if this materializes. You Bush supporters grasp onto the slightest morsel of favorable press and try to make it into a huge victory. Don't count your chickens yet...he still has plenty of time to screw it up! With Bush's dismal diplomatic history, I'd say we celebrate when the ink dries.

I asked a similar question. I think that this is a stall tactic that Kim Jong has used many times in the past and they have no real intentions of halting their nuke program.

No. It's too little, too late. An "agreement in principle to take initial steps" is like saying "I'm getting ready to begin preparing to take my first step".

This is what they are saying now that trade talks are about to begin and China told them to back off. Once trade talks are over and they don't seem so threatening to US anymore they'll go back to where they are now. It's cat-and-mouse. Kim Jong-il wil do what he likes after the new trade treaties are set in place.
