Yo, Kerry, NbaDunce, et. al, guess those six party talks weren't such a bad idea after all, huh?TThe North "promised to drop all nuclear weapons and current nuclear programs and to get back to the (Nuclear) Nonproliferation Treaty as soon as possible and to accept inspections" by the International Atomic Energy Agency, according to the agreement by the six countries at the talks.
"All six parties emphasized that to realize the inspectable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is the target of the six-party talks," the statement said.
The North and United States also pledged in the agreement to respect each other's sovereignty and right to peaceful coexistence, and also to take steps to normalize relations.
Damn, Bush's administration just brokered peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Shhh! Don't ruin A.H.'s buzz with needless details.
What would make you happy Dan? Other than Usama being elected President I mean...
I mean what do you want with North Korea? Outside of a war this is as good as it gets...aren't you one of these pro-negotiation people?
What is it that you want the Government to do here?
I would have preferred that PoppyBush kept Carter's original promise with the North Koreans to provide them with light-water reactors in exchange for their participation the in the Nuclear non-proliferation club and inspections by I.A.E.A officials.
It would seem, based on Bush's actions immediately after inauguration--within weeks, Bush ignored the agreement and cut off oil to North Korea (remember the North Korean delegation visiting Richardson in New Mexico, because he'd been Clinton's negotiator with the N. Koreans?), started with some very belligerent talk and pushed them at every opportunity, trying to get them to do something foolish, then sending Bolton in, of all people, to browbeat and threaten them, and then there was the "axis of evil" stuff.
None of that worked. What did finally work is the U.S., Japan, and S. Korea finally giving North Korea the farm, the horses, the cows, and the milk, so the WH can now turn the world's attention to Iran.
We know Dan. It's doomed to fail under Bush, but if Kerry would have been elected and negotiated this, you'd already be writing anyone and everyone about the Nobel Peace Prize.
So does this mean they're not part of the Axis of Evil anymore?
Some self proclaimed idiots are never satisfied. Rave on Dan!
It'll be interesting to see what NK wants in return for this when talks resume in November -- and if anything is to happen with their existing nukes.
Looking at the text of the joint declaration, they are to give up their existing nukes too, though it might be possible to hide one of more, I suppose.
An interesting clause"Bilateral" is the key here. It's a departure from the US desire to have everything done within the six-party format. A good idea, as the US won't have to worry about its John Han being on an agreement it may feel concedes too much to the North Koreans.The six parties undertook to promote economic cooperation in the fields of energy, trade and investment, bilaterally and/or multilaterally.
This announcement means ..
North Korea has a reputation of NOT delivering on anything...
Until there is action on the ground there it's all just stalling tactics...
Agreed, but we didn't do a great job of following through last time either.
We? You mean we didn't nuke them right?...
Because when you say WE your talking about China and other nuke powers...
Not just Bush.
No, I'm talking about the fuel-oil shipments and light water reactor we were to build according to the agreed framework. Both the Clinton and Bush administrations missed shipment dates and deadlines. I'm not saying it was a great idea in the first place, but it could have had some effect on whether NK would think any negotiation was worth entering anyway.
It's not going to be easy, to be sure.
The shipment dates didn't have dependencies on them? I.E. actions from NK?
This is good news, and I have to congratulate BushCo on it.
But the big question is whether NK is serious. As I understand it, NK isn't stopping now, just promising to stop if they get want they want. Also, the negotations don't start again until November.
In any case, at least there's some hope for a solution.
The inevitable other shoe drops....
North Korea Demands Nuke Reactor From U.S.
SEOUL, South Korea -North Korea said Tuesday it would not dismantle its nuclear weapons program until the United States first provides an atomic energy reactor, casting doubt on its commitment to a breakthrough agreement reached at international arms talks.
The North insisted during arms talks that began last week in Beijing that it be given a light-water reactor, a type less easily diverted for weapons use, in exchange for abandoning nuclear weapons....
"We will return to the NPT and sign the safeguards agreement with the IAEA and comply with it immediately upon the U.S. provision of LWRs, a basis of confidence-building to us," the North's Foreign Ministry said in the statement, carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency.
"The U.S. should not even dream of the issue of (North Korea's) dismantlement of its nuclear deterrent before providing LWRs," the North said....
