Barring a severe head injury, I won't forget the abductions. I also won't forget that they are less important than such issues as keeping North Korea from having nukes.
At least he was nice enough to lie to Fukuda. He told the president of the Philippines that Filipinos make dang good kitchen help. Words twisted for comedic effect, but the meaning is the same:

Any deal with North Korea is a deal with the devil. We will have to wait and see if this really leads to NK giving up its nukes. Since the priority of the US was to get the NKs to give up their nuke program they couldn't allow the abduction issue to muddy the waters. I'm pretty sure Fukuda and everyone else invloved knows that they are not going to get anywhere on the abduction issue.

I remember, some people calling Bush as a 'terrorist', some saying 'cowboy' but this assurance to Japan proves that Bush is a 'Human Avatar'!

I remember Bush telling the Yokotas that their story was one of the most moving he'd ever heard.

wonder if junior remembers he'll be out of office in less than 5 months and is effectively powerless right now ?

usaexpat,
The only "deal" is the deal to put it all off onto the next administration.
