North Korea Watch: North Korea’s Invite to the IAEA Welcome as Good News
North Korea’s capital Pyongyang is seen June 14, 2007. North Korea’s state news agency said late on Saturday the communist country had invited a working-level delegation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit.
Move by North Korea to Allow Inspectors Is Welcomed
Officials in South Korea and the United States today welcomed a move by North Korea to invite the United Nations nuclear watchdog back to the Communist state for the first time in four and a half years to discuss shutting down the North’s main nuclear complex.
In an announcement carried by its official press media, North Korea said late Saturday that it had sent the invitation to the International Atomic Energy Agency because a banking dispute with Washington that had been blocking progress toward the North’s nuclear disarmament â€has reached its final phase.â€
â€We welcome the North Korean move as good news,†Han Hye Jin, a spokeswoman for the South Korean Foreign Ministry, said today by telephone. â€We hope the Feb. 13 agreement will be implemented as quickly as possible following consultations between North Korea and I.A.E.A.â€
â€This is a good step,†said Scott Stanzel, a White House spokesman. He echoed Ms. Han’s hopes that the Feb. 13 agreement, in which North Korea said it would close its main nuclear complex, would be implemented.
North Korea did not clarify whether the invitation meant that it would start shutting down its reactor, which produces raw material for bomb-making plutonium.
North Korea initially agreed on Feb. 13 to close its main nuclear complex in Yongbyon, south of Pyongyang, by April 14 and allow U.N. inspectors to monitor and verify the action, in a first significant step toward what Washington hopes will the North’s complete dismantling of all nuclear weapons facilities. But that step has been delayed for more than two months, raising doubts about the deal struck among the United States, North Korea and four other countries.
The invitation from Pyongyang came after North Korean funds frozen at Banco Delta Asia, a small bank in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macao, finally began to be transferred last week.
North Korea is already two months behind in their schedule to start dismantling their nuclear facilities. This may be a welcome sign but the United States must be prepared to enforce further economic sanctions should Kim Jong-Il renege on the deal.
Stay tuned…..

Giuliani Notes: South Carolina – Thompson 25% Rudy 21% McCain 7% Romney 11% in Latest Mason-Dixon Poll
SC poll has Obama, Thompson as frontrunners
South Carolina appears poised to shake up the 2008 presidential race, with Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Fred Thompson the frontrunners in a new state survey by Mason-Dixon.
With strong support from the African American community, Illinois Senator Obama has assumed a strong lead over New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. On the Republican side, Thompson zoomed to the top spot, slightly ahead of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, even though he hasn’t yet announced his bid for the GOP nomination.
The Mason-Dixon poll, made available to McClatchy Newspapers and NBC News, offered disappointing news for two candidates who previously had been polling well in South Carolina. John Edwards, a South Carolina native who won the primary in 2004, was well behind Obama and Clinton on the Democratic side. Arizona Sen. John McCain, meanwhile, appeared to have lost many of his supporters to Thompson, and was far back in the GOP field.
The GOP NUTS:
Thompson – 25%
Rudy – 21%
Romney – 11%
McCain – 7%
The latest Real Clear Poitics South Carolina GOP Poll Averages:
The big story here is John McCain’s collapse amid the illegal immigration furor on Capitol Hill.
But, it may not be just one issue – all of the little insults to the GOP base are being remembered and returned in kind to Senator McCain.
Flap thinks McCain’s campaign is all but over. In fact, Flap will be very surprised if McCain is around after Labor Day – particularly if the Senate passes the illegal immigration bill.
Also, Fred Thompson LEADS the poll without declaring his Presidential candidacy.
All in all a decent showing for Rudy Giuliani who was not expected to contend in South Carolina. Does this show Rudy’s inherent strength in this race?
You bet
And demonstrates tough going for Mitt Romney in southern conservative states.
