New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson’s visit to North Korea appears to be yielding unexpected fruit.
Richardson, part of a bipartisan delegation dispatched to North Korea to return remains of U.S. MIAs, appears to have secured a concession from the communist state on its developing nuclear weapons program.

On Tuesday, U.S. envoy Christopher Hill signaled from Tokyo the U.S. willingness to deal.

I think this is super news, and proves once again that Richardson is the adult in the room when it comes to foriegn policy. We need him as POTUS.
