    This is a weird reaction from the SK gov't.

    Demanding that we stay and that no force changes be discussed until after the nuke crisis is resolved.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      It is very logical. They don't want the apple cart upset until things cool down. I suspect Rummy was fishing for just such a response but that may be giving to much credit to the fat guy with a heart condition.

        This seems more premeditated than "fishing". More nuanced than anybody has given Bush credit for.

        The most interesting possibility for me is that the US is forcing up the cost for SK to have the status quo. Perhaps the cost comparison between a quick collapse of NK/unified Korea versus a perpetual sunshine policy is more favorable to our policies now.
