I am proud of all that you are fighting for. You taught me a lot about giving people the benefit of the doubt and it's nice to see that the civilian world is benefiting from that as well. I credited you with much of my success as a proud Non Commissioned Officer.

North Korean envoy Kim Kye-gwan actually walked out of the talks. 2. The other participants became aware that the North Koreans had done this. The cynical side of me believes that the Kim Kye-gwan had already departed for the airport before the others found out. By the by, would you have any information as to when, exactly:

I think he'll probably be the only winner here, and I can assure you that Glenn Kessler, Dafna Lizner, the U.N., South Korea and its lobby, and the CFR will always portray the failure of diplomacy as just more reason for us to be more flexible ... for the sake of "the process."

This isn't one of them. I think he's either saying that North Korea hasn't broken the agreement, or that we shouldn't expect them to abide by their word. Because ignoring their violations would mean we've "learned" from the experience with the 94 Agreed Framework, I guess. Fwiw, the chatter I hear from the "pro-engagement" side suggests very real concern that Kim Jong Il is about to make fools of them all. Not that that ever stopped them before, of course.
