News on msn was that he wants to see what we will do for a while longer before he takes any action. (Translation: He knows we mean business and decided he likes breathing. His way of weaseling. He is trying to buy time and knows that we don't intend to do pre-emptive strike. He thought if we responded with some strike, maybe just to nail him, he would have public opinion in his favor. Now he is stymied. He desperately is doing back channel chatter to hope to reach some accommodation that will let him negotiate to keep some nukes <for defensive reasons>. Sorry, their program is outlawed by the world, that is why there are sanctions with a 15-0 vote by UN Security Council. He will be made to back down, dismantle their nuke program, and the world will be a safer place. (IMHO). It may take some time, but we have been watching him and his family play this game for the last 64 years. If he gives up he may keep some FACE (the most important element in Korean and Asian culture) and even live, but with any false steps, it won't fly. We'll see.
