Another Resounding Success of Multilateral Diplomacy !

So we bow to the demands of the appeasement-oriented left, remove North Korea from the "Axis of Evil" and negotiate in good faith with them, bow to all of their sticking points, and we get rewarded thusly:

North Korea wanted to delay a weekend deadline for shutting down its nuclear reactor by a month, but the United States said that was too long, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said Wednesday.
"We let them know that this was not acceptable and the issue was dropped," he said. Instead, Richardson said the shutdown should only take a "few days."


The communist country struck a deal with the U.S. and four other nations in February to shut down its main nuclear reactor by Saturday in exchange for economic aid and political concessions.

The North Koreans have broken every single deal with us, why should this latest laughable treaty (stop threatening us with nukes, and we'll feed your people and pay you handsomely!) be any different?
No doubt the hand-wringers will take further steps back in order to prevent this "deal" from falling through; North Korea, like any good negotiator, knows it is in a position of strength and is trying to squeeze out a final few goodies. Who knows what an "few days", or an extra month (if only that) of nuclear activity can produce for these clowns?

Backwards, we continue to fall backwards....
