TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE?

First of all, I'm blogging to you from sunny San Luis Obispo, where I will be rocking the hills above Cal Poly in a couple of hours. Laurie called me during soundcheck earlier today, aww! Hope you are having a lovely weekend. Anyway...

The adminstration says it's skeptical of North Korea's claims that it has nuclear weapons.

WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - The United States does not necessarily accept North Korea's claims about possessing nuclear weapons and beginning to reprocess nuclear fuel and will need to do more analysis before deciding how to proceed with the communist state, a senior U.S. official said on Friday.

He made his comments after North Korean negotiators told U.S. officials in Beijing on Thursday that their country has nuclear weapons, a fact Washington has suspected but Pyongyang has not previously confirmed.

"The point is, first we have to look at what went on. We're not listing any options (for next steps) at this point. We've got to figure out what happened and what it means, what it is we're dealing with," the U.S. official told Reuters.

He said the United States was skeptical about North Korean claims. "They are a bunch of liars. We've dealt with the North Koreans enough to know bluster and lying are a part of the way they negotiate."

Hmm, lying about weapons of mass destruction. Gee whizzzzz, where have I heard that before?

Bluster and lying are part of how the Bush regime attempted to justify war in Iraq.

(uh oh, moral equivalency!!! run, children!!!)
