In what now looks like one of the worst foreign policy blunders of the postwar era in light of North Korea's acknowledgement yesterday that it's working to develop nuclear weapons, the Clinton administration poured billions of dollars in foreign aid into the rogue state throughout the 1990's - and earmarked a substantial portion of that aid for North Korea's nuclear energy program. [Emphasis added.]
"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.
And don't forget, North Korea is working on ICBM technology that can reach the western United States - their technology can currently throw a warhead to Alaska.
