Two weeks after the election, influential solon Kim Bu Gyeom sat down with a group of party firebrands to tell them Roh can't waste time on ideological infighting when the real priority should be reviving the drooping economy. Still, Seoul hasn't confirmed that it will meet the June deadline for dispatching troops, and a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff said last Friday: "We don't know when they're going."
