North Korea says will hold talks, but not with ("psycho..")Bolton

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea (news - web sites) said on Sunday there was no change in its stand on holding six-way talks to resolve the communist country's nuclear ambitions, but would not consider U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton as an official for any dialogue.

Bolton earlier this week referred to life in North Korea as a "hellish nightmare," where North Korean leader Kim Jong-il lived like royalty while keeping hundreds of thousands of his people in prison camps and millions more mired in poverty. ..

"On the basis of a serious analysis of Bolton's outcries in the light of his political vulgarity and psychopathological condition, as they are quite different from the recent remarks of the U.S. president, we have decided not to consider him as an official of the U.S. administration any longer nor to deal with him," the spokesman said.

lack of.

Don't forget that the BFEE wants to keep millions in poverty or in prison whilst living like royalty, too...!

That's pretty funny, given the usual rants and raves that emanate from North Korea.

where are all of Bush's supporters who are sobbing and wailing for the atrocities suffered by the Iraqis under Saddam? One would think if the human rights abuses in Iraq were grounds for war, well why aren't we saving the millions of starving and abused North Koreans??

Hard to understand the floating standards put forth by Team Bush...I was hopin gyou might be able to explian........

Iraq has one of the world's largest supplies of oil.
And of course B* wanted to get even with Saddam for putting B* the Elder's face on the entranceway to the Baghdad (?) Hotel, for everyone to walk on!!

To be honest, I could not sit in the same room with Bolton either.

He is pathologically incapable of telling the truth.

I don't actually recall his name at all, although I did see the criticism of the NK quoted in the article. Undiplomatic perhaps, but untrue ?

The general poverty, police state repression, and the comfortable lifestyle of Kim Jong-il are all well documented beyond any comments from Bolton. Rather it appears to me the Koreans are commencing to repeat their negiotating tactics from the Panmanjun peace talks.

The North Korean technique of manufacturing endless distractions and unyieldingly demanding concessions on petty and immaterial points simply to wear down the opposition dragged out the Korean War by at least a year. This doesn't bode well for the forthcoming nuclear talks.

Who originally broke the terms of the agreed framework? If you answer KEDO, you win the prize.


And ummm..... dragged out the Korean war by at least a year? I think you might remember that North and South Korea are still at war.

Heritage Foundation just days before Carter was to leave for Cuba. Bolton made outrageous accusations that Cuba had bio-weapons labs but Colin Powell and Condi Rice didn't back him up!
Carter visited labs in Cuba and basically put an end to Bolton's rants. Bolton seems typical of the B* State Dept. - tell all the lies you want, there will be no retribution from the B* WH.!!!

We have entire families living in the streets eating out of dumpsters right here in America and guess what kind of lifestyle Bush and his minions are leading? Wouldn't it be better to worry about what is happening in our own country before we get too worried about someone elses comfortable lifestyle? You know the story about people living in glass houses and all.
