Well, the Bush administrations negligence on Korea has finally come home to roost, now that North Korea is publicly admitting to having the bomb. Good work Bush and Condi! Ignore the country which is an actual threat. Which actually has the weapons. And instead invade a country that isn't a viable threat, and get us into a quagmire that is going to force a draft if we want to sustain and extend military operations into hotspots that actually do matter.
Arrogance, ignorance, incompetence. It's the Bush trifecta and it's endangering us all.
Posted by jherr at February 10, 2005 07:25 AMClinton and Albright gave them the technology and made them promise they wouldn't make a bomb. Kim Jong Il (sp?) is the liar - and he betrayed your guy. We suspected him all along. North Korea was included in Bush's "axis of evil". I don't know why Iraq was the first target. Maybe he thought it was going to be a lot easier than it's turning out to be.
BTW - Clinton helped China along with their nuclear program, too. Let's all wait on the edge of our seats to see how THAT shapes up!!
Posted by: Jacqueline at February 11, 2005 07:12 AMYour venom for Clinton is clouding your vision.
We have suspected since Reagan and Bush Snr that N Korea had 1 or two bombs and certainly the ingredients for 1 or 2 bombs. Clinton Tried Diplomacy - Bush has just ignored the problem. Now they have more - enough to test and enough to brag about - you don't test the bomb when you only have 1 or 2, because then you'd have none (or one)
Here's a history link for you on North Korea's Nuke program.

Had Clinton given aid to nuclear programs , I think Starr would have had more than a few white house blowjobs to get him on.
On China - "The first Chinese nuclear test was conducted at Lop Nor on 16 October 1964"..." In 1988 Chinese specialists tested a 1-5 KT nuclear device with an enhanced radiation yield"..." In the late 1980s it was generally held that China was the world's third-largest nuclear power" So what did Clinton Give them to start there program???

Posted by: Lori Herrington at February 11, 2005 09:36 AMSeriously, Jacqueline, China got the bomb because of Clinton? You are joking, right.
How about the second Iraq war? The one that you now can no longer understand the motivation for, and have concluded is not going well. (Congratulations, BTW. Isn't the truth refreshing.) Can you blame the second Iraq war on Clinton too?
You can't blame everything on Clinton. My car got rear-ended last weeek. I didn't blame that on Bush. Should I have?
It reminds me of when Republicans start talking about Clinton and the say crap like, "The Clintons left a trail of bodies leading to the White House" with a straight stoney face. They actually believe it! Amazing. This whole Clinton is the Anti-Christ thing is a hoot.
