We should have taken out all their known nuclear facilities the moment they turned off the cameras and cut the chains on the gates.

Then we should have taken out all of their suspected nuclear facilities...

M.O.A.B.s!

Time is not on the U.S. side.

"Because one day you will have a Democrat president again and we can breathe easily."

Here's one cat that got out of the bag for sure. Now what? Fortunately there is an answer. It's called China. Nothing happens in North Korea without China's knowledge and consent. We squeeze China, they squeeze Kim Dong Ill. Simple. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration seems to be more interested in kowtowing to China than confronting it. This must stop.

Having failed to destroy North Korea's nuclear weapons manufacturing capability, indeed, having helped them build it up in the Clinton Administration, our only option now is to get China to rein in this menace, and we're not doing that, either.

No one wants to upset the trade applecart.

North Korea says time is not on U.S. side in nuclear dispute

Ah yes, fearless leader knows NK has all the time in the world to starve itself into obscurity. Wonder when these guys will get it through their heads that Dubya isn't cowed by bluster the way Krinton and his hard-nosed negotiator--Jimma Kata--were?

[CaptRon]

I'm sitting here trying to think why there should continue to be a political entity named North Korea...

[Dog Gone]

He was a Clinton holdover who was run off. That was conveniently left out of the story.

Time may not be on our side, but a gigaton advantage in nuclear arsenal and SLBMs that could reach out and touch Pyongyang in 90 seconds are.

[taxcontrol]

LOL, whistling past the grave yard.

North Korea sees that US troops heretofore tied up in Iraq are not going to be needed there as the transition to the Iraq governing council begins.

[Dr. Marten]

hmm...I think the odds of time being on our side are something like 1200 to 8?
