Nine years after receiving the
Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to get the North Koreans to dismantle their nuclear program, Jimmy Carter returns for
another stab at it.
Ex-U.S. President Jimmy Carter and three other former leaders arrived in Beijing on Sunday en route to North Korea to discuss the revival of nuclear disarmament talks.
Carter and the group of veteran statesmen known as the Elders are to travel to Pyongyang on Tuesday as part of international efforts to restart the negotiations on ending North Korea's nuclear program.
The group, which includes former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Brundtland and former Irish President Mary Robinson, said it also plans to discuss North Korea's chronic food shortages.
International disarmament talks with North Korea have been stalled for the past two years amid growing concerns over its nuclear programs.
"At a time when official dialogue with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea appears to be at a standstill, we aim to see how we may be of assistance in reducing tensions and help the parties address key issues including denuclearization," Carter was quoted as saying in a statement.
The Norks have a fondness for the useful idiot.
Carter, a Democrat from Georgia who was president from 1977 to 1981, is well regarded in North Korea despite its longtime animosity with the U.S.
Obama is a sharp dresser, and he did send my worthless govenor(Huntsman) to China. But, that's it. I can't think of anything else good about him.

ReplyDeleteJimmah in NK.
ReplyDeleteReid leading a hush-hush contingent to China.
Communists all.
No, nothing at all amiss there.
Is there a way to keep the fool there? Any way? Give him another prize if he stays?
ReplyDeleteI guess to the NOKO's "well regarded" means harmless. They realize Jimmah is harmless and well into his dotage so he's an honored guest at most North Korean family huts. I hear the grass this year is very good Jimmuh. Plan on attending any state dinners? If you do try the Bermuda, it's quite tasty.
ReplyDeleteHow swell if they misstook him for an escaping native North Korean when he tries to leave N.K.
ReplyDeleteRight, that bunch is gonna really make Lil' Kim straighten up and fly right....
