You have to wonder if liberals ever learn. Check the last sentence in my snippet from CTV.ca (—and note that the headline also wasn’t intended to be as uproariously funny as it actually is to us in the sensible set):
Kim Jong Il regrets test, no more planned: reports
CTV.ca News Staff
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il expressed regret about his country’s nuclear test and said no further nuclear action by Pyongyang was planned, South Korean newspapers reported Friday.
“I understand he expressed clearly there was no plan to conduct nuclear tests,” South Korea’s Yonhap news agency quoted a diplomatic source in China as saying.
Kim also said international talks were possible if the U.S. stopped financially isolating his country, reported the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo.
But those talks would require the U.S. to loosen its enforcement of economic sanctions, reported Chosun Ilbo.
“If the U.S. makes a concession to some degree, we will also make a concession to some degree, whether it be bilateral talks or six-party talks,” the newspaper quoted Kim as telling a Chinese envoy.
The same report also quoted Kim as telling Chinese officials that he was “sorry about the nuclear test.”
“This is the most promising sign that we’ve seen so far from the North Korean regime and perhaps a signal that it is moving towards a point where it is willing to negotiate,” CTV’s Steve Chao said Friday from Beijing.
Yes, he used to be a total nutbar until just this week, and now he seems to be stable and trustworthy again. Back to you, Lloyd!
