N.Korea Policy

The Tragic End Of Bush’s North Korea Policy
(Wall Street Journal)…John R. Bolton, June 30, 2008
Pg. 13

Maskirovka – the Soviet dark art of denial, deception and disguise – is alive and well in Pyongyang, years after the Soviet Union disappeared. Unfortunately, the Bush administration appears not to have gotten the word.

….  the administration has accepted a North Korean "declaration" about its nuclear program that is narrowly limited, incomplete and almost certainly dishonest in material respects. In exchange, President Bush personally declared that North Korea is no longer a state sponsor of terrorism or an enemy of the United States. 

North Korea has consecutively broken every major agreement with the U.S. since the North’s creation.
