A Czech newspaper has criticized the United States for making concessions to North Korean on the recent nuclear accord, claiming Washington was “duped” again as it was with the 1994 Agreed Framework.

“The initial principled standpoint of the United States, which swore that it would not be blackmailed this time, had gradually ebbed,” the commentary said.
“Kim Jong-Il again has what he sought all that time: the country, tortured by him, will receive massive humanitarian aid. There is word about thousands of metric tons of heating oil and food.
“Will Kim use the oil to put on the light in the concentration camps, where he enslaves his people and has them executed en masse?”
The newspaper blamed the failed U.S. role on the “irresponsible approach of China and Russia.”
“Truth is that Kim Jong-Il deserves the fate of Saddam Hussein,” the center-right newspaper stated. “Instead, he is safe to pop a bottle of champagne in his palace.”
