The U.S. and South Korea are extending for two years their current 
civilian nuclear agreement and postponing a contentious decision on whether 
Seoul will be allowed to reprocess spent fuel as it seeks to 
expand its atomic energy industry.Wednesday's announcement is a setback 
to South Korea's new leader, Park Geun-hye, who had made revision of 
the 39-year-old treaty one of her top election pledges, but it alleviates 
a potential disagreement between the allies when Park visits Washington 
in two weeks to meet with President Obama.State Department spokesman Patrick 
Ventrell said the extension will provide more time for the two governments 
to complete the complex negotiations on a successor agreement that will 
recommence in June."These are very technical talks, and both parties felt 
that we needed more time," he told reporters.South Korea is the world's 
fifth-largest nuclear energy producer and is planning to expand domestic 
use of nuclear power and exports of nuclear reactors. But its radioactive 
waste storage is filling up, so it wants to be able to 
reprocess spent plutonium. It also wants to be able enrich uranium, a 
process that uranium must undergo to become a viable nuclear fuel. Currently, 
South Korea has to get countries such as the U.S. and France 
to do enrichment for it.Revising the agreement is a sensitive matter as 
the same technologies can also be used to develop nuclear weapons. Washington 
has historically opposed allowing repr

the use of chemical weapons would be a "game-changer" in the U.S. 
position on intervening in the two-year-old Syrian civil war. Obama said 
last August that "a red line for us" would be the movement 
or use of chemical weapons, adding "that would change my calculus."Sen. 
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., reacting to the reports Thursday, said the "number 
one" goal should be to "secure the chemical weapons before they fall 
into the wrong hands.""I think the red line's been crossed and the 
question is, now what?" Graham said on Fox News.Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., 
also said in a statement the assessment is "deeply troubling and, if 
correct, means that President Obama's red line has certainly been crossed."But 
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., argued that it is not in the United 
States' "best interest" to go into Syria. "We cannot be absolutely sure 
about the extent to which Assad's forces have used chemical weapons, although 
we know they have them," he said in a statement.Caitlin Hayden, a 
spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said more information 
is needed."Precisely because the president takes this issue so seriously, 
we have an obligation to fully investigate any and all evidence of 
chemical weapons use within Syria," she said in a statement. "That is 
why we are currently pressing for a comprehensive United Nations investigation 
that can credibly evaluate the evidence and establish what took plac
