An Anniversary, But Nothing to Celebrate

Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of Agreed Framework 2.0. So, how is that working out?

North Korea threatened Friday to block progress in the six-party talks over its nuclear programs, claiming efforts by U.S. hardliners to disrupt dialogue with Pyongyang could aggravate the current standoff. The North also said it will have no choice but to take a certain measure “provided the U.S. warmongers keep taking a tough stance” against the communist state.

The six-party talks hit a snag as Pyongyang claimed it has fulfilled its pledge under an accord at the talks to disable its key nuclear facilities and give a full account of its nuclear facilities by the end of last year. Washington, however, insisted Pyongyang has yet to submit a complete declaration. [Yonhap]

Yeah. Who saw that coming?
