It's a Six Party Reunion
As American, and anti-Bush legacy, conservatives eat themselves with snark, unnamed «US officials» are unperturbed by Pyongyang's negotiating tactics.
U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they viewed North Korea's moves more as a negotiating tactic than a genuine effort to rebuild Yongbyon, which proliferation experts believe has produced enough plutonium for six to eight bombs.
«The North Koreans have a remarkable record of misreading American politics,» said Brad Glosserman, an executive director of the CSIS Pacific Forum think tank in Hawaii.
Proliferation experts have said that trade sanctions placed on North Korea make it difficult for it to acquire the parts it needs to restart Yongbyon, where some of the facilities might be beyond repair because of their age.
«There is no indication from any source that the North Koreans are in any position to actually begin operating those facilities,» said Glosserman.
It's once more to the table, we weary band of anonymous masochists!
