If Rice does not know yet JI Kim will never give up his nuclear weapons, she is an idiot. If she knows JI Kim will never give up his nuclear weapons, and still continues her diplomatic charade (Nick Eberstadt's words) of 6-idiots talk, then she is definitely a criminal.

I used to like Condi Rice, now I find her just another diplomat that doesn't want to make waves and refuses call it as it really is in this world.

Apparently our Secretary of State did not like the North Korea reality sandwiches served up by Jay Lefkowitz last week, and had a high altitude fit of pique about it all while jetting off to Berlin on Monday.

From the State Department transcript:

“Well, I can tell you in no uncertain terms that he wasn’t (speaking for the Administration). He’s the human rights envoy. That’s what he knows. That’s what he does. He doesn’t work on the six-party talks. He doesn’t know what’s going on in the six-party talks, and he certainly has no say in what American policy will be in the six-party talks.”…..
“And by the way, the President has spoken as to what our policy is in the six-party talks. I think that’s what –”…..
“I know where the President stands and I know where I stand and those are the people who speak for American policy.”

Whiplash!

Mr. Lefkowitz, “declined to respond in kind”, and mildly opined that, “”I’m going to have a great deal more to say about elevating the issue of human rights in North Korea, which is clearly a priority for the president and Congress.” He has since announced that he intends to publicize whatever he learns about human rights abuses in North Korea.
