Write what is significant about that is he says for now the summit is off, perhaps leaving the door open there to if there are better conditions, if north koreas rhetoric tamps down, if they dont make the comments like they made in the last 24 hours he would be open to revisiting this idea. that is key. as i said earlier, poppy, this is no washington story. >> jim, i apologize to interrupt you again. but i do have to go to will ripley, our correspondent inside of north korea to remind our viewer...
