Little Kim settles for a boatload of crud

On Tuesday, North Korea finally agreed to shut down its main Yongbyon nuclear facility in exchange for energy aid—a shipment of 50,000 tons of heavy fuel oil, with more to follow.,,,

Also known as No. 6 Fuel oil, Residual Oil, Bunker C, or simply HFO, heavy fuel oil is so thick—roughly the consistency of tar—that it must be heated to around 100 degrees Fahrenheit before it can flow through pipes or be fed into a combustion chamber. Since this process typically requires heavy pressurized steam equipment, the use of heavy fuel oil is practical only on a large scale; for example, in thermal power generators, heating plants, or the large boilers onboard ships.

So little Kim gets screwed, right?

The tentative deal on North Korea's nuclear weapons program made on Feb. 13 is worse than the one the Bush administration wrecked in 2005. It's considerably worse than the one the Clinton administration made, but did not abide by, in 1994.

This deal lets North Korea keep whatever nuclear weapons it has already built, plus whatever others it can build with fissile material it has already produced. But it's probably the best deal left.
