Bolten blast Kim

John Bolten with the Bush state department was not diplomatic when it comes to North Korea.

Kim "lives like royalty in Pyongyang," Mr Bolton said, while "he keeps hundreds of thousands of people locked in prison camps with millions more mired in abject poverty, scrounging for food."

"...The Bush administration recently held talks with Britain, Australia, Japan and several European allies on a 'proliferation security initiative,' designed to intercept North Korean missiles and weapons of mass destruction at sea, in the air or on land, before they reach Pyongyang's client list of rogue states.

"Mr. Bolton said Kim was 'dead wrong to think that developing nuclear weapons will improve his security.' North Korea triggered a crisis last autumn when it admitted having a secret nuclear weapons programme, in contravention of a deal brokered by the Clinton administration to cease nuclear research in exchange for fuel and aid."
