If this was not so serious it would be funny. I keep pointing out the North Korean shuffle because I have followed this for decades and the game being played about the "on again, off again" talks is nothing new -- but it is a much more serious game now -- not that I believe nuclear options are just now available to North Korea but their (North Korea) willingness to boldly claim intent and our military resources being stretch makes this a more serious matter... Just keep in mind the North Korean government simply wants to keep the option of "blaming the US" open when it again refuses to attended bilateral talks.
SEOUL - A high-level North Korean delegation headed home today after rejecting South Korean pleas for a commitment to return to international nuclear disarmament talks.
Despite the nuclear impasse, the two Koreas agreed during two days of high-level reconciliation talks to restart reunions of families separated by their border, and to hold meetings in coming months to boost economic and military cooperation.
But at the same time, the communist North dealt another setback to disarmament efforts, lashing out at President Bush for meeting with a prominent defector.
