Obama Picked Wrong Bosworth for North Korea Envoy
The one right stance of the Bush administration was that it played tough with North Korea, one of the craziest and looniest countries in the world, behind Saudi of course. Like everything else the Bush administration did, they failed in that, too. North Korea easily played the six-party talks, giving Cheney extra discomfort, possibly in the form of heart palpitations.
Thump, thump.
The Obama camp is seemingly following in the soft footsteps of Wimp Jr. They named as the new US envoy on North Korea, Stephen Bosworth.
Admittedly, I know very little of the man, and even less about Obama’s foreign policy towards NK. But, it is quite clear from the picture above that we need someone much tougher in the envoy position.
If Cheney were running the show, he’d being in a real Bosworth: the Boz. Besides being tough, he is considered a screen god in North Korea. He could therefore be a boost to American soft power efforts — if they decide to go that weakling route.
