No. Really. It almost gets no better than this. In the race to see where the intel could be falsified faster, CIA with the close personal supervision of Darth Cheney, or in Doug Feith's Oujia Board Parlor in the aptly-named Bowels of Pentagon for the smelly shit that came forth, it seems that the Intel Cooking Brigade missed something. Our dearest friend and dictator du jour, Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan-land seemingly managed to let some of those pesky neutron-filled secrets out of his borders. Gee, imagine that...those highly secure borders between the countries of Pakistan and Al-Qaeda let something go through. Hmmm, imagine the bad luck.
President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan said yesterday that he believed that a Pakistani nuclear expert who ran the world's largest proliferation ring exported "probably a dozen" centrifuges to North Korea to produce nuclear weapons fuel. He added, however, that after two years of interrogations there was still no evidence about whether the expert also gave North Korea a Chinese-origin design to build a nuclear weapon.
...
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, also speaking to reporters yesterday at The New York Times, praised General Musharraf for working in three areas, and said the United States would be supportive: helping to pursue members of Al Qaeda, creating "diplomatic space" for operating by reaching out to India and Israel, and working to improve education and the economy to discourage militancy. "There are parts of Pakistan that are extremely poor where you get breeding grounds for this kind of extremism," she said, and the United States would help him deal with those.
Coming off a desperately exhausting day of slipping in an out of stilletto heeled shoes in the local boutique, Rice acknowledged that Pakistan has been a boon to assisting other less-developed countries with their new-kyu-lar programs, and that she was thrilled to see that they had helped Korea build centrifuges. The sales person then reminded her that she was talking about the wrong Korea, whereupon Rice had the poor person sent to GITMO for she obviously had ties to terrorism, knowing what countries had new-kyu-lar programs. Besides the shoes were a little tight in the toe.
Seriously, the whole WMD claim was such bullshit four years ago, when the verifiable programs existed in both Iran and North Korea. But the neocon warlovers had no desire to push for an invasion there; an Irani scenario was a no-win for the US, and besides no Bush family member had their portrait on the floor of a hotel, and the North Koreans would have Nuked Seoul, Tokyo, China and something else, just because they could. There was no neocon doctrine for an invasion of North Korea, there would have been no oil riches only thousands of starving refugees, and we know how well the 1600 Crew deals with poor people who need assistance: here's the lifeboat, sorry about the holes. See Ya!
