Revisting Korea?

In an apparent move, convieniently times with the latest Iranian move against the British, North Korea has decided to pack its bags and head home. Looks like the negotiations there too have failed.

China called a halt to four days of deadlocked talks on Thursday, after North Korean negotiators refused to discuss nuclear weapons until the frozen funds were transferred to an account controlled by North Korea in the Bank of China. U.S. and Chinese officials said the transfer from Banco Delta Asia in Macao had proved to be more complicated than expected.

"As soon as we get this bank transfer done, we probably will put our heads together and decide whether we need to have another six-party meeting," Hill said.

Optimism and appeasment are the roots of war loss. While people are asking, can we fight a war in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran...they should ask themselves, can we fight North Korean...it was the nightmare of military planners to do so before the Iraq war and tensions with Iran. It's getting worse.

Remeber, It's Iran in the Crosshairs

Waking up to this news sure isn't pleasent. In addition to having a bad financial situation, we're about to go to war. Read on:

BASRA, Iraq (Reuters) - Iranian forces seized 15 British servicemen on Friday in the mouth of the waterway that separates Iran and Iraq, triggering a diplomatic crisis at a time of heightened tensions over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

Britain said two boatloads of sailors and marines from the naval frigate Cornwall had searched a merchant vessel in Iraqi waters on a U.N. approved mission when Iranian gunboats encircled and captured them.

British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said she was "extremely disturbed." Britain summoned Iran's ambassador in London and protested through its embassy in Tehran.

With this move, Iran appears to be reciprocating the US move of kidnapping or effecting defections of its military officers and leaders.
