North Korea is becoming more Americanized everyday. Money talks and Bu$hit walks.
““While these forms have been filed out and faxes sent” - No wonder these useless bureaucrates are upset. That sounds like a lot of hard work. Next time just send the money and the “technical problems” go away. Tony Soprano could have told Hill that. Capire!

We have blown a trillion dollars in Iraq and created a complete debacle but we cant cough up twenty five million to stop N Korea from producing more nuclear weapons? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its probably a duck.

Never use “blow job” foreign policy when talking to communist ! Does Christopher Hill know about it ?

The real question is: Is it a coincidence that the U.S. cracks down on one Macao bank just as the 6-party talks seem to be making progress?  The U.S. delegation complains about “technical problems,” but it is the U.S. that caused the “technical problems.”  It is obvious that the U.S. does not want progress, at least not the progress that the other 5 parties in the talks are willing to accept.  I think we have to realize that there simply will not be progress towards peace and disarmament anywhere in the world until George, Dick, Condi & Co. are no longer in a position to undermine the process at every stage.
