Bolton is right, but he has the advantage of not having to make a decision or play politics anymore. Bush is simply getting NK off our back so we can deal with other things. No one seriously believe that Kim Jong Il will ever change.

But didn't we spend the last 3 years complaining that the Clinton deal didn't work, which it didn't, and that was why Bush had to play hardball with the North Koreans? It seems to me this is exactly the kind of hardball he played with OBL as well. Talk a tough game then when it is clear you are not going to be able to accomplish your objective declare victory, or in OBL's case simply say you do not think about him much anymore. This is what you are defending?
