Deal on North Korean Nukes Struck

Keep your fingers crossed! From the Washington Times:

A brief statement issued by China's official Xinhua news agency just before 3 a.m. Beijing time said: "The envoys of the six parties involved in the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue worked overnight in a bid to clinch a possible deal, but no agreements announced yet."

Mr. Hill said the United States was fully behind the Chinese text, but he did not rule out attempts by the North to extract more concessions or renegotiate the steps it has to take. He called the draft an implementation document of the September 2005 joint statement of principles, in which all parties committed to the denuclearization of the peninsula.

If this works out, it will be a another defeat for the Axis of Evil, and justification of Bush's support for multilateral talks versus unilateral blackmail.
