Policy. but nonetheless there are ways that you can communicate these things, and i think that we hear in the administration really is they were just needling the north koreans. they were going to accepted this brush pack pitch, as john said. but the administration didnt have to do it in a way to aggravate the situation. >> lets talk one more step about the libya model. it was very provacative. they were told youre going to give us everything right off the bat. then the obama administration bomb...

With gadhafi, would the west have intervened? maybe, maybe not. there will be some carrots given to north korea in the form of economic assistance or in the form of we in essence have a security guarantee like we did with cuba rg something along those lines. were not interest in invading north korea. maybe china holds that security blanket. but a long term nonnuclearized north korea is essential. my concern is if this doesnt happen, we are at the churchill kind of moment where we are looking for...

If its in the newspapers, a couple of ours by david sanger, who is scholar at the wilson center writing a book on cyber. >> we had him on the show twice already. >> he is brilliant. thats why we chose him. he has written two articles, one how we are expanding and modernizing our nuclear arsenal as we are asking both iran and north korea to disarm theirs. thats one. and the second one is to adequately monitor the denuclearization of north korea will take hundreds of people more of the capacity th...

Military exercises. i would advise and caution not to give in to their concessions before you even get to the negotiating table. you want to negotiate out of strength, not out of weakness. >> julie: north koreas vice foreign minister accuses the u.s. of making reckless statements and harboring sinister intentions pointing the finger to john bolton who said recently that north korea could follow a libya model, verifiable denuclearization. pyongyang knows what happened when gadhafi gave up his nuc...

In singapore in the summit on june 12th as everyone thought we would, but it always just seemed too remarkable that this leader about whom -- for whom survival is everything would follow the lead of gadhafi and give up his nuclear weapons or his nuclear plants. he didnt have weapons. but he had centrifuges and was able to enrich, and gave everything up. and we know what happened to him, or saddam hussein, who did not have a nuclear program at the time of the invasion, as we now know, but ended u...
