And the administration wanted to keep Bolton

Still not completely clear on all the details of the North Korea nuclear deal (I'm yet to see that they're giving up their current weapons,) but it's likely a step in the right direction.

But what grabbed me was this bit by John Bolton,

Already before its adoption, the deal drew strong criticism from John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., who urged President Bush to reject it.

"I am very disturbed by this deal," Bolton told CNN. "It sends exactly the wrong signal to would-be proliferators around the world: 'If we hold out long enough, wear down the State Department negotiators, eventually you get rewarded,' in this case with massive shipments of heavy fuel oil for doing only partially what needs to be done."

Let's, remember that the previous stable situation deteriorated after a North Korean official at a cocktail party reportedly told a US diplomat they were enriching uranium. The rumor at the time was that that US diplomat was John Bolton.

So, crazy boy Bolton condemning this plan was the reason the North Korea situation "went nuclear" in the first place.

If this administration had their way, he would still be working for them.

(From a first read, isn't this new deal more or less a more expensive version of the Clinton plan?)
