Justin Logan excerpts Joseph Biden’s questioning on the non-negotiations with North Korea over nuclear weapons. He’s right, Biden is great here. My favorite part:
I don’t for a moment countenance their human rights violations or support of terror, and the rest. But let me tell you, my dad before he died used to say, "Son, if everything is equally important to you, nothing is important to you."
There’s one thing real important to me right now: how to get rid of all that plutonium that they’ve got stockpiled or building weapons, the new plutonium they’re making, and the HEU they’re seeking how to produce. That is obligation overwhelming number one. And we’re not doing that very well, in my view, because we’re still negotiating with ourselves.
As many have said before, for a CEO president Bush seems oddly ill at ease with the idea that in negotiating, you have to be willing to concede something. Or else it’s not negotiation.
