North Korea Seeks to Bolster 'Military Deterrent'

North Korea said Sunday it is seeking to increase its military deterrent to cope with U.S. moves, amid increasing signs that the country is preparing for a missile test. There was no mention of a missile in a report from North Korea's state media on a national meeting marking the anniversary of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il starting work in the country's communist party. "The [North] Korean army and people will do their best to increase the military deterrent with sharp vigilance to cope with the moves of the U.S., which is hell-bent on provocations for war….

[snip] The comments are typical for North Korea, whose official media runs daily anti-American diatribes.

North Korea (read: Kim Jong-il) seeks to bolster Kim Jong-il's position with his own military; no doubt he hopes that lots of weapons, with salary and perks, will keep him safely swilling imported cognac, riding around in chauffeured limosines, and fiddling with dancing girls. It's worked so far - wonder how long the troops will sit still for their friends and relatives among the "common people" being slowly and painfully starved to death.

We must all thank Bill Clinton for his delusional 1994 "Agreed Framework" plan in which he *gave* North Korea two twin, light water nuclear reactors. Clinton called it his 'plan' so that Congress didn't get to vote on it.

All that was required of North Korea was that they sign a piece of paper stating that they wouldn't use the two nuke reactors to make nuclear bombs. North Korea promptly tore up the paperwork /dumped it in the trash and they've been pulling plutonium from the spent fuel rods ever since.

Hence, it was Bill Clinton and the democrats who fully armed North Korea with nuclear bombs."

Now, one poster today might say that is not important whatsoever that Clinton gave N Korea those two nuclear reactors or say that 'this technology' has been around for years - I then say in return, should we then assume it's O.K. for any future President -to give nuclear reactors to Communist or Islamic countries?

How about giving nuclear reactors to Cuba? How about a future President who would give Libya a few nuclear reactors. How about passing out nuclear reactors to Islamic terrorist?

No, the importance today -of pointing out the delusional mindset of Clinton (and the Democrats)
- - - - - - -is in those North Korean 'cooling ponds.'
