Perry warns North Korea on six month window
Defense Secretary William Perry warned on NBC that if North Korea does not halt its nuclear program within six months the United States will tighten pressure including economic sanctions. He said a freeze is the priority, with eventual rollback after success, while noting risks of provoking a war and the need for patience as issues unfold over a year or two. He cited CIA estimates of nuclear bombs and said North Korea may already possess one or two weapons. The U S and U N seek inspectors, but Pyongyang has shown no willingness to allow access.
