Still hoping for a return visit by Josh Marshall onto the program today. In his commentary at TalkingPointsMemo.com, talkingpointsmemo.com Josh distorted our conversation from Wednesday and I have the tape to prove it. He is something of a rookie in the commentary business, and thus cannot help himself when a personal attack looks easier than a substantive exchange on difficult ground. There is no more difficult ground than defending the Clinton appeasement of North Korea, so critics of that policy can expect more invective, but the key fact remains: When did the North Koreans begin to cheat on the 1994 Framework Agreement? Nearly everyone says during the Clinton years, and most say within a year of signing the deal. It appears to be Marshall's position that the Bush Administration should not have raised the issue of cheating, because doing so has led North Korea to restart the plutonium-extraction operations. Interesting logic that of course leads to the conclusion that you would never raise the issue. In other words, the Clinton deal obliged the U.S. to allow North Korea to go nuclear by any means other than plutonium-extraction. Hmm. It wasn't sold that way.

I'd advise Josh not to play cards with cheaters.
