That's why you VERIFY.
But you have to go there and talk with them to do that.
TALKING IS NOT VERIFYING. It is necessary, though, to visit to verify, to go there, and that's what Bush-Cheney didn't do.
Bush and Cheney really, really showed those North Koreans, didn't they? I mean, "We aren't going to talk to you, because you are a bad guy!"
I can see it now. "Oh, thank God, we don't even have to hide things. They're throwing us into the briar patch."
Probably not a smart move on the part of the current administration. E pluribus unum.
