Here's a massive surprise: it turns out that North Korea won't be giving up its nukes after all. Which means these guys were right and that Instapundit and Tim Blair have found that North Korea's word isn't worth the mouthpiece it's spouted from. They are in good company: the ongoing 6 party talks are a great stalling tactic which will achieve nothing unless China gets some backbone and puts pressure on the North Koreans. Do not hold your breath - North Korea provides a headache for the Americans and is useful for China geopolitcally even at the cost of having a failed nuclear armed state on its border.
