"BEIJING, May 10 - China on Tuesday ruled out applying economic or political sanctions to pressure North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program, appearing to undercut a crucial element of the Bush administration's evolving North Korea strategy. The announcement comes just as American intelligence agencies are trying to determine whether North Korea is preparing for a nuclear test."

What next?

I didn't know you were in them, Ned.

Damn, doing three at once? How'd you split your...? And put jimmy hats on all of them?

It's like you're some betentacled monster of their dreams!

( And, of course, this is China's doing, which is why you want to punish SK, Taiwan, and Japan. )

( And, of course, we don't exactly have a presence in Taiwan. )
