Bush eyes taking North Korea off terror list

George W. Bush, US president, was on Friday considering a recommendation from his senior officials to remove North Korea from the US terrorism list in spite of Japanese concerns.
The US is considering taking North Korea off the terrorism list after reaching a deal with Pyongyang last week on a mechanism to verify the contents of a nuclear declaration that North Korea provided earlier this year. While the other members of the six-party talks – China, South Korea – have backed the agreement, Japan has expressed reservations.
Taro Aso, the Japanese prime minister, believes the verification deal is weak, according to a person familiar with the matter. While Washington does not need Japanese approval, consent from Tokyo would help US officials persuade Mr Bush to approve the deal.

A 40-minute phone call between Condoleezza Rice, US secretary of state, and Hirofumi Nakasone, the Japanese foreign minister, failed to assuage the Japanese concerns. The person said both capitals were in close contact but added that Tokyo did not expect Mr Bush to delist North Korea on Friday.
Mr Aso is concerned that North Korea will not live up to commitments to resolve a longstanding dispute over Japanese citizens who were abducted by North Korean spies in the 1970s and 1980s, a sensitive issue in Japan.
A US official stressed that while Japan may have reservations about the deal, Tokyo was unlikely to abandon the six-party process as a result.

“They want a fascist planet with the superwealthy ruling it all
Since we’re too independent, America must be led to fall
When our credit’s been exhausted to subdue the Middle East,
They’ll install our debtor nation in the body of The Beast
Traitor…Dare call it treason”

Bush is either schizo or there is more going on than meets the eye. How can he warn the NorComs about haranguing the South, then he considers removing that same “terrorist” nation and “third leg of the Axis of Evil” off the list? Something is up and it is big.

Here in Ohio Obama already has “truth” squad agents going door to door asking citizens if they are going to vote for Obama. They came to my door, it was very disturbing. There were no greetings, no smiles, no hi how are you, just a monotone point blank question, then a smirk as a mark was placed on a clipboard next to my address. My neighbors said they were made to feel very uncomfortable and intimidated. And people are getting pushed around by law enforcement for merely stating their opinion about Obama’s house voting record? This guy is acting like Hitler already and he does not even have executive power yet. Imagine what he will do with the dictatorial executive powers that the Bush admin. has “proclaimed”. This is not good my brothers and sisters. Make your voice heard now or you may never have the chance to be heard again if this freak gets his cult of personality into the RING OF POWER in D.C. I dont think our votes count, but let us vote for the third party candidates to voice our opposition to this illigitimate corporate fascist coup d’ etat. Watch “Esoteric Agenda” on Youtube, Torey from Mythbusters is the narrator.

Where do you people get your information? Torey from Mythbusters is NOT the narrator of Esoteric Agenda. Ben Stewart both directed and narrated it.
