North Korea to Dismantle Nukes

Not sure where all the members of the MSM are on this one. In addition, probably won't hear much from the nobel peace prize committee, but nonetheless, significant things are happening in North Korea.

North Korea has agreed to disclose all nuclear activities and shut down their Yougbyon nuclear facility by December 31st. The US will lead these efforts and will be allowed into the country during the next couple of weeks. I seem to remember those Bush critics saying that while multilateralism was the only acceptable option in Iraq, many of them also said that unilateralism was the only way to go in North Korea. Well, seems like we've gotten some results.

Now, this may be pie in the sky, and we're being conned once again as Jimmy Carter/Bill Clinton were during the 90's. It might happen again. But if it is legit, then isn't this a Nobel Peace Prize type of accomplishment? Jimmy Carter thought so. I hearby recommend that JC either fork his prize over to the White House or the Nobel Committee to consider this accomplishment.
