Journal pudge's Journal: Let's Spin! 8
Welcome to the new and exciting game show where YOU the contestant get to decide how various events will play in the national media!
You all know the rules. I'll provide something that happens in the world, and you reply to the journal entry (not another comment), and spin it to favor one of the Presidential candidates or political parties. Then the other contestants guess who you're working for! (Also, it is highly recommended that you play "Let's Spin!" by The Swirling Eddies in the background while participating.)
Without further ado, our first category is Foreign Policy.
According to former U.S. State Department North Korea analyst Kenneth Quinones, North Korea "has decided that the 'new offer' proposed by the United States during the third round of talks was a deception trying to cause turmoil in North Korea, and judged that the Bush administration lacks sincerity in the talks.

So, does it make someone a "war-monger" because of a desire to *deal* with a problem instead of pretending it isn't there?

Does this have anything to do with the other major thread of the article -- that North Korea has put the nuclear negotiations on hold? Yes. They're having trouble with fighting on two fronts, so they have decided to freeze the situation on one of them. The troubles inside the country are obviously more importa

Now NK see's that UN undermined Bush in Iraq war, and is tempted to start things back up because it now see's the UN as weak, and as something that won't back up it's own resolutions.
It's my first time, how'd I do?

You know, even as the Bush administration has worked to isolate North Korea in a campaign to make it drop its nuclear program, Asian and European governments have been actively engaging it on diplomatic, cultural and economic levels. Now, with the pace of engagement quickening,

I'm sure if the administration thought there was oil in North Korea, they wouldn't be so disengenous as to offer concessions! In fact, I can't even tell you what I would do, because the North Koreans would respond so drastically different to my policies that a comparison woul
