U.S. Soon to Officially Announce Bosworth's Pyongyang Visit
The Barack Obama administration would be willing to hold bilateral talks with North Korea and will soon announce plans, Yonhap news agency reported Saturday, citing a senior U.S. State Department official.
"I think the announcement will come before (President Obama's departure of Asian trip early next week)," said the official, asking anonymity. "I think it may be this weekend."
The official, however, said the trip to Pyongyang by Stephen Bosworth, U.S. special representative for North Korea policy, will not take place before Obama returns from his Asian trip, which falls on Nov. 19.
Bosworth said on Thursday that he expects the U.S. government will "soon" make a decision on his trip to Pyongyang, but predicted it would come later possibly "within a few weeks."
Speculation has been mounting that the U.S. point man on North Korea will fly to Pyongyang late this year or early next year to strike a breakthrough in the talks involving the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Japan and Russia.

Workhard, that was a good description of the idiotologist, Derrick Thiessen. However, as you can see, his mental capacity is so limited that he no longer can tell fact from fiction, and long ago lost his ability to reason. Get some help Derrick, and leave the sane people here alone.

Read it again. Makes perfect sense to every other human on the face of the planet. I'm still in shock that you posted "Oh, it seems God wants me to keep posting..." Do you hear voices? Seriously? That just adds a new layer of scary into your repertoire.

Pk2, North Korea has sold every weapon system they've ever produced to the highest bidder. They traffic in drugs and counterfeit US currency. It's not that North Korea has nukes, it's the threat that they'll sell them to Bin Laden or some other wealthy maniac. As for the envoy, the NK is proven to be duplicitous. But you have to try...
