'Axis Of Evil' Country Topped Clinton Aid List

A country designated by President Bush as part of the "Axis of Evil" received more foreign aid under former President Bill Clinton than any other country in the Asia-Pacific region, a congressional study concluded two years ago.

House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Chris Cox (R-Calif.) said the study conducted by his panel found that under the Clinton administration, North Korea became the "largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid in the Asia-Pacific region," CNSNews.com reported Friday.

"In an astonishing reversal of nine previous U.S. administrations, the Clinton-Gore administration, in 1994, committed not only to provide foreign aid for North Korea, but to earmark that aid primarily for the construction of nuclear reactors worth up to $6 billion," the Cox Committee contended.

Quoting the committee's findings, CNSNews.com reported:

"The U.S.-funded light water reactors in North Korea will accumulate plutonium in spent fuel at the rate of about 17,300 ounces per year, enough to produce 65 nuclear bombs a year.

"The Clinton-Gore policy, it is now clear, has severely worsened the threat that North Korea poses to the world by systematically rewarding Kim Jong-Il for his most dangerous misconduct. It has provided North Korea with an increased capacity for the development of nuclear weapons and the long-range missiles to deliver them."

Cox, along with fellow congressmen Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Benjamin Gilman (R-N.Y.), has sent a letter to President Bush calling for the U.S. to cancel the nuke deal and urging him to spotlight the North Korean threat during his visit to Japan, South Korea and China this week.

Beyond aiding North Korea's nuke program, the Clinton administration was providing 500,000 metric tons of fuel oil per year to the Communist dictatorship's state-run military-industrial base, a figure that was "almost double what North Korea's civilian economy can use," the Cox Committee said.

In 1999, Rep. Cox conducted a separate investigation into China's acquisition of U.S. nuclear secrets during the Clinton years, concluding that the People's Liberation Army had, for the first time in its history, acquired the capacity to strike the continental United States with nuclear tipped ballistic missiles.

One explanation for this behavior is the attitude of "not on my watch." Similar reasoning seems to explain his headlong romance of Arafat in a push for a Nobel Peace Prize--if things break down later, he's gone.

I used to say "unbelievable" all the time. Now I just shake my head (sound of nuts rattling around).

And the media buys right into it. The recession of 1981 was Ronald Reagan's fault even though he had only been in office for 60 days!

[Pearls Before Swine]

And this is Bush's recession, according to the same sources.

This is a prime time example of why we need to return to our constitutional republic..."foreign aid" for folks who would nuke and destroy our entire country in a heartbeat... foreign aid provided at the behest of any sitting president ain't cuttin it...and here's your sign.

Bring the friggin money home and give us some real tax relief you friggin assholes. Give us back our republic.
