Home sick now after three days of intense travel. A couple of sick little ones to keep me company.

I have been having trouble with posts sent off my phone to Sean. The story on Iran (just below) was one I wrote a while back. It just took a long time to reach him.

The NK nuke deal story below is a mistake post on my part. Good story cited. Ignore my comments.

I created a series of emails to Sean about the NK nuke deal Tuesday morning. Apparently they never got to him. I would redo, but I just feel very bad right now.

Still, I would sum up as follows:

Bad deal.

Freeze only, with possibility of real deal down the road.

We wuz taken, but what else to expect given Bush's post-presidency?

Don't even get me started on the deal not including held fuel and bombs, plus the suspected secondary enrichment facility bought from Pakistan.

Bush and Co. are kidding themselves and us on this one. While Chris Hill is laboring hard and must be commended for his effort, this was a total non-win--a repeat of Clinton's deal that the Bushies are trying to pass off as Qaddafi-II.

That's it for me for a bit. I feel so bad right now I don't even want to read the paper!

Don't think it's flu, but I am wondering. Jerry, with 104, plays Star Wars in other room. Must be nice to be young and sick.

Still, can't complain. Got home yesterday with all the appropriate Valentine's Day stuff in tow--just in time.

Now, just really hoping wife doesn't get sick too...

Again, sorry for the missing posts (amalgam one on NK deal, another on Taiwan, and a few others). For some reason, my emails from phone not working right now.
