The Bush Administration working out a deal with North Korea?

Impossible
What's next, a deal with Iran? Progress in Iraq?

Doesn't the Times remember that the Bushies are bumbling saber rattling idiots?


Deal to Shut Major North Korean Nuclear Facilities Appears Closer - New York Times:

"BEIJING, Feb. 9 — North Korea and the United States appeared on Friday to be inching closer to a deal that would establish a schedule for the North to shut down and seal its main nuclear facilities within two months, in return for shipments of fuel oil from South Korea and the beginning of talks over normalization of relations with Washington.

But the top American envoy negotiating the deal here cautioned that the two sides remained stuck on “one or two” small issues.

“Nothing is agreed unless everything is agreed,” the envoy, Christopher R. Hill, an assistant secretary of state, told reporters as he returned to his hotel Friday night. “So I just want to be careful about predicting success tomorrow.”"
