N. Korea Agrees to Nuclear Disarmament

BEIJING (AP) — North Korea agreed Tuesday after arduous talks to shut down its main nuclear reactor and eventually dismantle its atomic weapons program, just four months after the communist state shocked the world by testing a nuclear bomb.

The deal marks the first concrete plan for disarmament in more than three years of six-nation negotiations, and could potentially herald a new era of cooperation in the region with the North's longtime foes — the United States and Japan — also agreeing to discuss normalizing relations with Pyongyang.

Under the deal, the North will receive initial aid equal to 50,000 tons heavy fuel oil within 60 days for shutting down and sealing its main nuclear reactor and related facilities at Yongbyon, north of the capital, to be confirmed by international inspectors.

For irreversibly disabling the reactor and declaring all nuclear programs, the North will eventually receive another 950,000 tons in aid.

The agreement was read to all delegates in a conference room at a Chinese state guesthouse and Chinese envoy Wu Dawei asked if there were any objections. When none were made, the officials all stood and applauded.

Tip of the hat to the Chinese. At least there is one part of Asia where level headed people exist.

confident, that's humorous that no person ever disputes the information that Glenn Beck has found out approximately Obama and his cronies. That telephone has by no potential rung as quickly as. i think they only choose to forget approximately him in hopes he will circulate away. that's unlucky, yet FoxNews is the only solid information source left on television. that's why maximum responses to this question would be that Fox isn't information or that's faux information or another bogus answer. they're attempting to quit human beings from staring at and looking out out the certainty, besides the undeniable fact that it is not working via fact FoxNews and surprisingly Glenn Beck are the optimum rated shows ever. Glenn Beck is the main thorough investigative reporter i've got ever considered. he's uncovered an entire community of crime interior the Obama regime. that's humorous the connections those czars and different appointees of Obama would desire to prepared crime. Beck would desire to get a Pulitzer, yet that's reserved for left wing loons who make up information. that's not for telling the certainty. I wish we had added information shows that had the heart to tell the certainty, yet i think that's greater common for them to proceed to tow the line for the left and canopy up the lies particularly than danger getting themselves in worry with Obama and Crime Inc. i ask your self what proportion physique guards Beck would desire to have. All assassins interior the previous have been socialists or communists, so he would desire to be worried they might come after him next. What a courageous guy he's.

Bolton has stated that it sends nuclear developing countries the wrong message. That being, that if they work to develop nuclear weapons and hold the world at bay long enough they will be rewarded for their defiance.

that is wonderful news but I cant help it wonder if they aren't selling their nuclear technology in back room deals with anyone who is looking for that sort of thing and has
the money to buy it on the black market.
