Drudge has that flashing on his website, but I haven’t been able to find a story on it yet.
Here’s the most recent story I could find:
BEIJING (Reuters) - Delegates to six-party talks on North Korea’s nuclear weapons program agreed to hold further talks on Tuesday, after meeting into the early hours, suggesting a deal may be in the offing.
The United States and North Korea haggled on Monday over energy aid the North would receive in exchange for ending its nuclear arms ambitions, but it looked like some sort of an agreement in six-party talks was emerging.
An initial session faltered over North Korea’s demand for a huge infusion of energy aid, but envoys stayed up into the early hours of Tuesday, improving prospects of a last-minute deal.
“The delegates worked very hard and made some progress but still need some discussion and will continue tomorrow,” a Chinese official told reporters after the meeting ended around 0230 on Tuesday (1830 GMT Monday).
China’s Xinhua news agency, quoting a South Korean official, said a joint document was likely to be adopted on Tuesday.
“According to the official, who speaks only on anonymity, the negotiation on the document has ‘reached the final phase’, Xinhua news agency said.
Update I: Via AP:
BEIJING (AP) — The U.S. envoy says talks on North Korea’s nuclear program have reached a tentative agreement for disarmament.
As of this writing (2:35 PM ET) that’s the only news link I’ve seen on this, and that’s all they have written so far. Keep checking that link as I’m sure it’ll be updated with more info as it becomes available.
Update II: Here’s a better link.

But, but, but I thought the ‘Rats and presstitutes said unilateral engagement with Krazy Kim was the only way to success </sarcasm>
Seriously, we’re going to need a very healthy dose of verify. The devil, as always, is in the details.

Must be because Democrats are in control of Congress, Kim is quaking in his boots.

Unlike AP, BreitBart doesn’t habitually “update” a particular link to a breaking story, instead putting the updates on new pages. The currently-moving AP story (BreitBart’s newest page/AP’s current and likely-to-be-updated page via LimaOhio.com) has a few more details.
The news is still a bit contradictory, but the details that I’ve been able to unspin:
- North Korea tried to get a whole lot of energy in exchange for agreeing to not build any more nukes.
- Russia and South Korea, which were likely to be the sources of that energy, balked.
- The US essentially said that the North Koreans needed to either start compromising or the talks were over.
- After 16 hours of that, the North Koreans apparently caved (still no word on how far).

Whatever, it’s cool they’ve gotten this far. I hope it doesn’t break down. Of course then the moonbats will use this as proof talks with Islamofascists would go as well. It would be worth it, though.

I’d love to get excited about this, but the N. Koreans are about as trustworthy as a viper.

The N. Koreans are as truthful as Bill Clinton.
