Clinton's in the Netherlands, land of legal dope and prostitution, once again claiming that he had plans for resolving all the situations now facing President Bush:

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton said Sunday he had warned North Korea in 1994 the United States would destroy its nuclear reactor unless it agreed to freeze its operations.

Now that Pyongyang has said it was reactivating its facilities, Clinton said the North Koreans must be persuaded or forced to stop the weapons program.

"Make no mistake about it, it has to be ended," Clinton said. "You do not want North Korea making bombs and selling them to the highest bidder."

Speaking at a dinner for Dutch businessmen and public figures, Clinton said it was more likely North Korea would use the nuclear issue to bargain for more aid rather than put weapons on the market.

"We had a tense situation with North Korea in my first term," Clinton said. Pyongyang "was planning six to eight" bombs a year.

"We drew up plans to destroy the reactor," Clinton said, and he told Pyongyang the facility would be attacked unless it officials froze it.

Oh here we go! From the Guardian:

``I've decided that I will not be a candidate for president in 2004,'' Gore told CBS' ``60 Minutes'' in an interview to be broadcast Sunday evening.

``I personally have the energy and drive and ambition to make another campaign, but I don't think that it 's the right thing for me to do.'' Gore said he wants to ``contribute to ending the current administration.

``I think the current policies have to be changed,'' Gore said. ``I think that my best way of contributing to that result may not be as a candidate this time around.''

What did I just say?! Yep, we're not going to ever see the end of algore or clinton anytime soon.

Both of these jerks (Clinton and Gore) are truly looking worse every week that goes by. I hate to say it, but I hope they both end up being remembered in the history books as the most incompetent and self-centered administration that the nation has ever endured.

OK, so Clinton "scared" the North Koreans into "stopping" their nuclear program. He was so "successful" that now we have the North Koreans making nuclear bombs and Clinton using an issue, on which he failed, to spin and attempt to be "relevant."

The only relevance he has on this and many other issues, will be made crystal clear when he's hauled into court for the charge of treason against the United States.
