Senate Democrats Won't Re-list North Korea as State Sponsor of Terrorism
The DC Writeup ^ | 7/23/09 | Andrew Kilberg

Posted on 07/23/2009 11:08:11 AM PDT by The D.C. Writeup

Senate Democrats blocked a “sense of the Senate” amendment yesterday that would have merely urged the State Department to re-list North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. This comes as the Obama Administration and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attempt to draw a softer line on the tyrannical communist regime.

Can they go further left???

At least Mrs Clinton - in case Zero for one or other reason does not contest the election in 2012 - will have lost all possibility to run as a middle of the road candidate.

I’m thinking the NKers arent’ so bad after all. There must be some good in a gov’t that can run this smack about Hildebeast: “Clinton has made “a spate of vulgar remarks unbecoming for her position everywhere she went since she was sworn in”.

“We cannot but regard Mrs Clinton as a funny lady as she likes to utter such rhetoric, unaware of the elementary etiquette in the international community.” .

“Sometimes she looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping.”

Hope and change are fine and dandy until things go boom. Which, historically, has always happened to self absorbed naive ruling classes.

I love answering rhetorical questions.

Yes, the could nullify all mutual defense treaties in the area, including with South Korea withdrawing all troops. Then they could declare neutrality in the internal politics on the Korean Peninsula.

Yes, there are folks on the Left who advise just that.

Not surprising really.

Dems and Libtards consider “terrorists” as freedom fighters and terrorism as “man made disasters”....you know, in the same classification as other ‘man made disasters like the Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez, Yellowstone fires, etc., etc..........

Can we list Congress as a state sponsor of terrorism?
{After all, they are funding someone who uses fear and intimidation to impose his will on domestic companies (banks, GM/Chrysler)...}

Yes, it was intended as a rhetorical question. Thanks - or maybe not - for showing me that it wasn’t. Will have plenty of nightmares now.
