North Korea Says It Is Prepared To Give Up Nuclear Programs

Beijing (AFP) Jul 26, 2005
North Korea said Tuesday it was ready to work with other countries to denuclearise the Korean peninsula and called for "strategic decisions" to make this possible.
"We are fully ready and prepared for that," said Kim Kye-Gwan, North Korea's chief delegate at multilateral talks here aimed at dismantling his country's nuclear programs.

"We think that the resuming of the talks itself is important but the fundamentally important thing is to make real progress in denuclearizing the Korean peninsula.

"To that end, the parties concerned need to eventually remove the threat of a nuclear war from the Korean peninsula and to have a firm political will and a strategic decision to realize the de-nuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

"As long as all the parties demonstrate wisdom and the spirit of cooperation ... our ship will reach the final destination of denuclearisation."

I guess that's out then

North Korea is willing to talk about stopping their weapons program.

Funny how that works.

I'm not sure how much I'd compromise either. But it's possible that they are playing an 'I will if you will' game, knowing that Bush never will take the nukes out of Korea, but they can say they at least tried to compromise.

POWER. North Korea in just playing games and buying time
