There is a great need

February 10, 2005 ( politics )

For Iraq to be pretty and shiney right now. Or at least interesting, because we can't have this news getting any coverage:

The White House said on Thursday it was committed to a peaceful resolution of the dispute over North Korea's nuclear arms program after Pyongyang publicly acknowledged it possessed atomic weapons.

"We remain committed to the six-party talks. We remain committed to a peaceful, diplomatic resolution to the nuclear issue with regards to North Korea," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters traveling with President Bush.

U.S. officials sought to take Pyongyang's announcement in stride. McClellan said: "We've heard this kind of rhetoric from North Korea before."

He said the U.S. intelligence community had long since publicly stated its belief that North Korea had nuclear weapons.

--Reuters.

If North Korea had oil, I feel that might have read:

North Korea announces it has WMD and the capabilities to strike at major US cities. The US responded that all US personnel have been pulled out from the region, and that as of 8pm tonight, we will now refer to South Korea as the "Island of Korea"
