William R. Richardson: “We absolutely need them to keep enforcing sanctions or the pressure on North Korea will deteriorate.”

His main objective is to stay in power, more so than detente with the United States.

My worry is--and before, I think, you came in I said it is better to negotiate with the foreign ministry types in North Korea rather than the intelligence people because they are more flexible.

Well, success for me would be a commitment by North Korea to dismantle some--some of their weapons, missiles.

I commend the President for making the tough decision to bring Brittney back. I commend him for trying very hard to get Whelan back.
