North Korea and Russia - Is Anybody Else Seeing Through It?

According to news reports, the Obama administration is now thinking about offering North Korea incentives to abandon its nuclear programs. I saw it coming when they ranted and raved about attacking the U.S. Yeah, right. But now it looks as if, with the support of the Obama administration, the bastard son of China might get his own way,

I don't know about you but while growing up, when I tried acting that way, my parents were able to see through my thinly-veiled manipulations. Maybe that's why I can see through North Korea's intentions.

When Obama visited Berlin, Germany during his campaign, he addressed the international crowd there as "we". His supporters weren't Americans but Internationalists. He now would have us believe that Russia has a lot to worry about from the eastern nations of Europe. Huh? Anybody remember Poland's Katyn Forest? The murder of millions of Russian citizens? The starving of Ukraine?

J. Edgar Hoover once called it "The Big Lie". I've lived long enough to see it become a reality.

The officials, who are traveling with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Thailand, told reporters that the package is only in its early stages and will not be offered to North Korea unless and until the allies sign off on it. Pyongyang would also have to first take specific, concrete and "irreversible" steps to begin destroying its arsenal of nuclear weapons.

The aides said that the administration needs to see concrete action. Mere assurances from North Korea that it will take action in the future would not be enough to trigger the presentation of the incentives package, they said.
