"By demonizing North Korea, Gregg said, the Bush administration has an excuse to justify building an expensive missile defense program and creating an international bogeyman to justify alleged U.S. militancy."

Here we go again: Bush lies & Big Business is evil

Kim Jong Il got a new best friend.

[JohnnyZ]

Kim Jong Il got a new best friend.

I guess he won't be so ronery any more....

[dighton]

Gregg says Bush has a personal dislike for the North Korean dictator Kim Jong il . . .

Who could possibly dislike The Dear Leader?

[Semper Paratus]

If NK isn't worth of demonization no country is.

[Starve The Beast]

No doubt about it, Kim Jong Il wouldn't be starving his people, swelling his military, and developing nukes if Bush weren't so gosh darn evil.

[Billthedrill]

Garbage. It was the North Koreans who got up and walked away from the negotiating table, not us. It is the North Koreans who continue to push, antagonize, alienate, create dissension, and threaten. Kim has demonized himself and is now crying that it's the other fellow's fault. Utter garbage.

[Toskrin]

Gregg blamed what he sees as the problem on what he called Bush's personal dislike of North Korean Chairman Kim Jong Il, one of the world's most brutal dictators.

What an odd thing to write. Is this a criticism of Bush?

Maybe the problem is the brutal dictator. Exactly what did Bush41 and XXX42 accomplish by their policies?

[thoughtomator]

How dare he demonize a state that has starved 2 million of its citizens to death and reduced millions more to cannibalism and eating grass!

[Natural Law]

Fire his a$$. Gregg is not there to advance a personal agenda or to propagate State Dept BS, he is there to represent this administrtion.

[expatguy]

We have a lot of problems within our State Department.

I touched on some of them - in a new essay

An American Expat in Southeast Asia

[Constantine XIII]

LOL, if W has a personal hatred for KJI, it simply shows that he his a just man who doesn't have his head lodged in his ***, unlike some Mr. Gregg.

[foofoopowder]

Sounds like Donald Gregg has a vacuum between his ears.

[An Old Marine]

[Gregg] blames deteriorating relations on President Bush

Bush's fault?!?!?

You know the great thing about being a democrat? Not much memory is required. All you have to do is play the class warfare game and blame bush for everything.

That's their platform. One size fits all.

Of course it doesn't really work too well in elections but hey you can't have everything.

[demlosers]

Gregg deserves an idiot award.

[Mark was here]

Here is the true story of someone who was in a North Korean camp, after reading you will understand why they are pure evil. This is a heart breaking story.

[tet68]

So in spite of kim's being a brutal dictator , our President
shouldn't take a personal dislike to him?

Where do these people come from and how do they get government jobs?

[Fudd Fan]

"Gregg says Bush has a personal dislike for the North Korean dictator Kim Jong il"

Heavens to Mergatroid! Dislike EVEN!

[citizencon]

Yeah, Saddam really was a teddy bear, the Bushes mis-portrayed him as the big bad wolf. Castro is a doll. And look at Kim, isn't he a cuddly baby? Those aren't really weapons, they're toys. Who is this ambassador guy ??!! What an idiot!!!

[John Jorsett]

Gee, Bush has a personal dislike of that murderous, dimutive high-haired loon. How dare he?

[infidel29]

You don't play nice with dictators and thugs, it legitemizes them and gives them power. G.W. didn't even mention Yasser Arafat's name and look what happened, he died and suddenly peace talks come to Israel. Who woulda thunk it? George W. Bush.

[blue-duncan]

"Gregg may have a slight conflict of interest in promoting North Korea's interests - he is now president of the Korea Society, a nonprofit agency arranging business and cultural contacts between the United States and both North and South Korea." Why didn't he start the article with this quote and save us the trouble of reading this foolishness?
