North Korea ready to allow inspectors into missile sites, Pompeo says
Fox News, Oct 8, 2018, Edmund DeMarche

North Korea on Monday said it was ready to allow an international group of inspectors into the country’s clandestine nuclear and missile sites, a move that could be seen as more evidence in Washington and Pyongyang’s thawing relationship.

Mike Pompeo, the U.S. secretary of state, made the announcement after a Sunday meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The meeting was apparently productive, and they even discussed another summit between Kim and President Trump, Reuters reported.

Pompeo identified Punggye-ri as one of the testing sites mentioned in their conversations. The U.S.’s top diplomat retweeted Trump’s tweet touting a “good meeting” in Pyongyang.

"We continue to make progress on agreements made at Singapore Summit," Pompeo tweeted. Trump met with Kim in Singapore in June and – at the time – announced that the two countries are set to "start a new history."

That's a step in the right direction... but again, only one step, with far FAR many more to go.

Yes. This opens many doors.

But at this point, we are about where we were with Iraq at the beginning of the Gulf War (Kuwait) cease fire.
Inspectors. No fly zone. Embargos. Tyrant in charge of a very large military (Kim and Hussein).
 
And after Saddam Hussein repeatedly  violated the terms of the cease fire, we had the Iraq war.

Just as long as they don't send Hans Brix...

They have yet to give an accounting on their arsenal, allowed an inspection of a warhead, and it was reported they are still developing weapons as recently as August.  This site inspection is meaningless, until these facts are known.
