Don't worry. All we have to do is wait for the weather to get cold. Then the NorK rhetoric will turn a lot softer...
Andrew Card was on Meet the Press this morning. They showed a clip where Hillary Clinton, in one of her Congressional Committees, interviewed a US security official who said that the current US assessment is that North Korea could hit United States territory with a nuclear bomb.
How is this not the top news story? If North Korea is part of the axis of evil, and if their leader is crazy, how can this be usurped in the media by some idiotic woman from Atlanta getting cold feet?
I remember 5 or 6 months ago when the prevailing wisdom was that North Korea was likely to attain ultimate nuclear compatibility within months. Has nothing been done since then? At the time I felt secure... there is no way the United States would allow North Korea to progress towards nuclear weapons capabilities, but now the position of the US Government is that they do have that capability now.
This is a disaster. Blame slick willy all you want. North Korea acquired the ability to strike the US with nuclear weapons under George W. Bush's watch, not Bill Clinton.
