Say What?

The NYT thinks North Korea rejected Bush’s offer to reward bad behavior, er, offer inducements in exchange for ending their missile program, but isn’t sure. Normally, I’d say the “sham offer” sounds like a definitive rejection, but I’m willing to play along because David Sanger understands Korea reasonably well.

His colleague, meanwhile, is suggesting that the Pentagon isn’t really pulling out 12,500 troops after all, which would be bad news for our Korea policy, if it’s true.
