North to North Korea, where the Men are Men and the 1600 Crew is Nervous

Back in the olden days before the Mess O'Potamia (saw that somewhere), Fearless Leader was a-beatin' his hairy chest and loudly proclaiming the bad, bad man had to be disarmed...there had to be a deadline, there had to be closure or surely the balsa-wood gliders O'Death would be dive bombing our cities. Many of us said, hey, what's the rush? Senor Mas Macho lied and told us to be afraid, very afraid of the 45-minute imminent gliders o'Death aimed at the wimminfolks. Not wanting to be Left Behind, the pussy congress told him...okey dokey.

So, now that North Korea, a real threat has reared its ugly head (again), who's talking about it? Well, not Der Kommander Kodpiece. But John Kerry is.

Senator John Kerry on Sunday accused the Bush administration of letting "a nuclear nightmare" develop by refusing to deal with North Korea when it first came to office.

The current fear that North Korea may be preparing to test a plutonium bomb is a consequence of Mr. Bush's preoccupation with Iraq, Mr. Kerry said in an interview. He presented his charges in a 15-minute telephone call he made to The New York Times.
...
While intelligence analysts are still debating whether the activity is a harbinger of a test, Mr. Kerry insisted that the fact that North Korea was threatening such an action was a sign of failed diplomacy. "I think that this is one of the most serious failures and challenges to the security of the United States, and it really underscores the way in which George Bush talks the game but doesn't deliver," Mr. Kerry said.

In the past, Mr. Kerry has accused Mr. Bush of ignoring a far larger nuclear threat in North Korea because of his determination to oust Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

"They have taken their eye off the real ball," Mr. Kerry said, his voice almost shaking in anger. "They took it off in Afghanistan and shifted it to Iraq. They took it off in North Korea and shifted it to Iraq. They took it off to Russia, and the nuclear materials there, and shifted it to Iraq."

Oh, John you silly french-looking New England elistist liberal, don't you know by now that there are no hotels in Pyongyang with Poppy Bush's face on the lobby floor. I mean what more could any boy give his daddy than thousands of dead and wounded Americans to remove a mosaic? C'mon John, get with the program, wouldn't you want your daughters to invade a country for you?

Besides, it had the secondary benefit of keeping Crashcarts CheneyBurton money rolling in...and it's important to take care of those who'll pay for take care of someone's unemployed ass after being tossed out soon.

Suggestion for a next job for the 1600's, defendants!

But we haven't hit the 12 year mark nor has the UN passed 17 resolutions. Is this a cry for war !?

And now for a little perspective. North Korea’s nuclear buildup throughout the 1990s, described as alarming, was due to a weak – one could say a sham – treaty engineered by the Clinton administration.

Albright now confesses that North Korea was cheating on the agreement “well before George Bush became president.”

Tom DeLay as far back as 1998, was calling attention to intelligence reports that North Korea was pursuing a nuclear buildup.

It was the Bush administration that blew the whistle on North Korea’s nuclear weapons cheating.

North Korea has indicated it's willingness to freeze its nuclear activities in exchange for U.S. aid and being removed from Washington's list of terrorism-sponsoring nations.

President Bush has said he will not allow
the US to be blackmailed.

Whoa, somebody's been at the MiniTrue Koolaid! You learn all that from Limbutt, Dan?

April 2001

Those of us who were following *this* fiasco from early on *knew* from this alone that Fearless Leader was gonna FUBAR Iraq.

Clinton's deal with North Korea was deeply flawed, no question. But Bush has *no* deal with North Korea. He's let the situation fester while he refuses to come to the negotiating table.

Yeah, sometimes we have to make bad deals with bad men. It's called being a grownup. Bush Senior understood that, but Bush Junior doesn't.

I cannot accept the argument that, because somebody else made a mistake earlier, the one who is currently making the same mistake or worse mistakes needs to be supported further.

The answer to any Bush failure always seems to be "Clinton did this" or "Clinton did that." Clinton actually tried to do something about problems instead of simply creating bigger ones. Clinton actually tried to do something about Korea. Clinton actually tried to do something about terrorism. Clinton actually presided over a robust economy, despite inheriting an unhealthy one. I know some folks just hate to admit it, but that is the fact of the matter. Maybe he wasn't the best president ever, but the current guy is the worst one ever.

Rumsfeld sold two nuculiar reactors to North korea in 99. Nice of Delay to be one year off in his criticisms...

The point is .. this administration inherited the situation, remember the "axis of evil" statement, it has not taken its collective eye off of the ball. Going to the negotiating table without confidence in the integrity of the other party is a waste of time and possibly more taxpayer money as was the case with Clinton. Bush intends to get the job done not sweep it under the carpet for the next tenants of 1600, trying to cover it up really doesn't count as "trying". The first step was to call a spade a "spade", hence the comment.

Giving Clinton credit for the dot Com bubble is interesting at the very least, please tell us exactly what it was that Clinton did to directly contribute to that economic boom. And by the way I'm not buying that his buddy Al Gore invented the Internet. Now it wasn't Clinton's fault that bubble burst, but neither was it Bush's. However it was Bush's economic strategy that has brought about the recovery (i.e. National unemployment rate at 5.6%, roughly the same as when Clinton ran for his second term).

Yeah, wether its standing on a pile of rubble or slinging out those axis of evil comments, Chimpy seems at his best making pretty little speeches.

What gets me is that you seem to think he has a manly plan. I seriously doubt it, but you just go on believing tinkerbell. Im glad he doesnt. He had a plan for taking out Ossama, and we all see how well that turned out.

Stats as of Dec.2000, Clinton reforms moved many off the welfare rolls, since January 1993, the welfare rolls had fallen by 8.3 million, or nearly 60 percent.
Clinton signed into law the Internet Tax Freedom Act, which created a 3-year moratorium on Internet access taxes &taxes that discriminate against e-commerce, which helped the bubble has longer then it might otherwise have.
20,000 businesses of all sizes and industries joined Clintons Welfare to Work Partnership, providing jobs for thousands of newly productive workers(and responsible tax payers)
Under Clinton/Core 5.9 million new businesses were created in 7 years.
Clinton/Core: record 898,000 new businesses opened their doors in 1998- nearly 130,000 more than in 1990, the best year of the Bush Administration.those liberals r so sneaky.
Clinton/Gore fought for the Next Generation Internet, which is connecting universities and national labs at speeds that are 1,000 times faster than the net of the early 90's.
Clinton 1999, extended the Research and experimentation Tax Credit,increasing balanced investments in long-term research and development.

There's not enough room here for all of The Big Dogs achievements. God knows the man was flawed, but he was one the most competent presidents of this century.

Cheney was in town two days ago. His idea of a good stop? A closed down Borg-Warner plant turned into a cotton sampling lab. OWNERSHIP, bitches!

He did not stay around for the steel mill's town hall meeting on unfair trade on the same day...

Ahhh courting the cotton vote can work with the Korea/Asses of evil meme. You see lots of faolks wanna go to war with the NORTH. Just do not too specefic- let it go that way.

Fortunately more good farmers see what Bush is doing. The deficit hits hard on farmers, along with rising fuel prices.


For business and industry there is an uneven playing field though. Currency manipulation alone accounts for 2/3 of the trade deficit in terms of investment and expense.

Soros make a ton on currency exchenge, you would think he likes Bush because he makes more money off his dollar downfall in value via deficit.

He knows what it is doing to people and fights the Bush agenda anyways. If people in America cannot have a monied middle class, than the entire stewardship and leadership and spiritual core values of the country are lost and we have no moral compass to lead in world matters...
