He stared morosely at the bamboo enclosure
Well, what the hell could he do but send a platoon up to occupy that empty bivouac? If they were able to do it without difficulty, he would start worrying then about what to do nextA fragile breeze stirred against his face and he thought with longing of the beach and the pleasantly chill ocean water, the palm trees silhouetted against the shoreSomewhere in the jungle miles away from him something was happening to the JapaneseMaybe their G-3 was sitting on the can now too
But something was wrong with themThe Jap corpses lately looked skinnierAll these islands were supposed to be blockaded, not getting any supplies, but of course you could never depend on the Navy to |

| Russia, Japan See No Alternative to Six-party Talks with Pyongyang |
[Feb. 5th, 2010|04:48 pm] |
"There were no other ways than the resumption of the six-party talks to resolve the nuclear problem on the Korean Peninsula, said foreign ministers of Russia and Japan in Moscow on Monday.
Noting a slight improvement of circumstances over the issue, Russian top diplomat Sergei Lavrov stressed that ""the resumption of six-party talks is mandatory.""
""We consider it necessary to discuss all questions that arise in a particular format, taking into consideration the resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council (that) remain in force,"" said Lavrov at a press conference after talks with his Japanese counterpart Katsuya Okada.
Okada also said the only way for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) ""to overcome the current situation is to return to six-party talks.""
The Japanese government intended to discuss issues with Pyongyang ""on a complex basis,"" added Okada, who is on a two-day visit to Russia since Sunday.
Both Lavrov and Okada said they had no information on whether the DPRK will produce new rockets or nuclear weapons.
The six-party nuclear talks, involving the DPRK, the United States, China, the Republic of Korea, Russia and Japan, have been stalled since the DPRK quit the forum in April in protest against the UN condemnation of its missile tests.
Stephen Bosworth, the U.S. special envoy to the DPRK, paid a visit to Pyongyang earlier this month to persuade the DPRK to return to negotiating table.
During last week's consultations in Moscow, Bosworth said the United States will sign a peace treaty with the DPRK only if Pyongyang scraps its disputed nuclear program, according to a report of the RIA Novosti news agency.
