Hillary Blames Bush for North Korea Nukes

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is blaming President Bush for the fact that North Korea can now hit the U.S. with nuclear missiles - after a top intelligence official told her Thursday that Kim Jong Il's ICBM's can now reach the Northwestern U.S.

"They couldn't do that when George Bush became president, and now they can," Mrs. Clinton complained to the New York Times.

Vice Adm. Lowell Jacoby in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee - "The first confirmation, publicly, by the administration that the North Koreans have the ability to arm a missile with a nuclear device that can reach the United States."

The top Democrat pointed her finger at the Bush administration despite a 1999 Congressional finding that North Korea first obtained the capacity to develop nuclear weapons under her husband's administration, which actually gave Kim Jong Il nuclear technology in exchange for the promise that he would not make weapons.

"If the [Clinton administration's] 1994 Agreed Framework is implemented and two [U.S. Light Water Reactors] are eventually built and operated in North Korea, the reactors could produce close to 500 kilograms of plutonium in spent reactor fuel each year; enough for nearly 100 bombs annually if North Korea decides to break its obligations and reprocess the material."

The Advisory group also blasted the Clinton administration for making North Korea "the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid in the Asia-Pacific region."

"In an astonishing reversal of nine previous U.S. administrations," the report said, "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 advisory group also warned that North Korea would soon be able to hit the U.S. with ICBM's - and blamed the Clinton administration for facilitating Pyongyang's progress.

well, lets not forget jimmy klinton.....clintora forgot to mention him, too.

Moral Treason from Jimmy Carter

Summary: North Korea's Number One Cheerleader Espouses Marxism

[www.CapMag.com] On Saturdays, neither the NY Sun nor the WSJ is published, so I buy the NY Times. It keeps me from being overly optimistic. Today, on page 4 of the Times, there's a story entitled "North Korean Standoff Poses ‘Greatest Threat,' Carter Says." Here's the lead paragraph:

"Tokyo, Sept. 5 - Former President Jimmy Carter, the man credited with defusing the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis, warned here today that the current standoff was the world's ‘greatest threat.'"

Here's how I would have written that lead:

"Tokyo, Sept. 5 - Former President Jimmy Carter, the man blamed for the failed 1994 attempt to bribe North Korea away from nuclear bomb development, admitted here today that the current standoff was the world's ‘greatest threat.'"

A little later, the story said Carter's 1994 trip "opened the way to the first nuclear agreement with North Korea." Yeah, and Neville Chamberlain's 1938 trip to Munich "opened the way to the first territorial agreement with Nazi Germany."

The following is not about slanting, but the story quotes Carter as describing North Korea as a country "with a superb military technology and the ability to destroy hundreds and thousand of lives and most of Seoul if a war should come."

So Carter is not only claiming that a primitive, brutal dictatorship has a "superb" military technology, but actually trying to scare the South Koreans (who are already acting, probably out of fear, as virtually a puppet of the North Korean regime).

Carter also advocated "the lifting of all economic and political sanctions against North Korea and the opportunity for that little country to become completely absorbed in world affairs on a normal basis."

Poor little country! Only its "superb military technology" and the threat of killing hundreds of thousands of South Koreans keeps it afloat. If only we'd let it trade all its nonmilitary bounty with the rest of the world, it would become so absorbed in "world affairs" that it would change its ways, drop its ideology (which, incidentally, holds that trade is imperialist exploitation), and become normal.

This disgraceful moral treason by Carter is, among other things, the Marxist notion that ideology and politics is determined by "the mode of production." But Carter implicitly recognizes the power of ideas and morality, because one of his charges against the US, one of the things he thinks as equivalent to North Korea's breaking the agreement he is "credited with," is Bush including North Korea in "the axis of evil."

What about Bill and Hillary allowing Loral to sell missile technology to China after having been handed cash in brown paper bags by Charlie Trie, the cash coming from the Riadi's in Indonesia, who laundered it for the Communist Chinese military?

Also, I'd like Hillary to address why the Justice Department permitted Wen Ho Lee, a Communist Chinese agent, to steal any and all nuclear secrets from the Los Alamos labs.

Sociopaths like Bill and Hillary will sell out their country and the entire Western world, for that matter.

The top Democrat [Hitlery] pointed her finger at the Bush administration despite a 1999 Congressional finding that North Korea first obtained the capacity to develop nuclear weapons under her husband's [Bubba] administration, which actually gave Kim Jong Il nuclear technology in exchange for the promise that he would not make weapons.

Now WHO in the Bush Administration will remind the MSM of this? OR, do they even care?

Afterall, they may not want to cause any rift amongst Daddy Bush and his new adopted son (Bubba Bush, er...I mean Bubba Clinton.
