Quote:
posted: The decision comes after Pyongyang announced a new rocket launch, which the United States says breaks the terms of a deal agreed last month. Earlier reports that the food aid plans had been put on hold were confirmed by a Pentagon official on Wednesday. Peter Lavoy told lawmakers North Korea had violated a missile test moratorium agreement and could not be trusted to deliver the aid properly.
Under the deal signed in February, North Korea agreed to a partial freeze in nuclear activities and a missile test moratorium in return for US food aid.
Mr Lavoy, acting assistant secretary of defence for Asian and Pacific affairs, told a government committee that next month's planned rocket launch "reflects [North Korea's] lack of desire to follow through on their international commitments and so we've been forced to suspend our activities to provide nutritional assistance"
This is going to end well, I'm sure.

Well, we haven't given them food for a few years now, but I am surprised that we had the 'nads to cancel this shipment just because they have once again decided to ignore the deals they keep making.

Wow, the BBC decided to add some love with their last line in that article.
"The planned 240,000 tonnes of food aid from the US was to go to children and pregnant women."
Ouch

I saw that too. 
I think they covered a little in the quote that we don't think the food will be distributed properly osethin.

Should never have started giving them food. It just let them use the unspent money to fund terrorism and make the bomb. Short sighted and really stupid policy. Not a Democrats vs. Republican failing; they both are stupid when it comes to North Korea. And Iran for that matter.
