Which means, translated, that the food we sent last year was hijacked by the military and government parasites.((sigh)) the State Department really needs to be purged of its banks of fools and poltroons.
100 million pounds of food is a lot of chow. After Kim is finished eating I wonder how much will be left?
I just think everyone here should get a grip. If you read the text of the press conference, you understand that all of this is closely monitored as it is distributed. Complain about the cost if you want, but I know GWB is not stupid enough to do this if he thinks it's gonna feed the wrong people. I think the cost of the food is low compared to effects the North Koreans getting fed by packages that say USA. The food will help America's standing umong North Koreans, not hurt it. Calm down your own knee-jerk reactions that this is an outrageous waste of money and your wrong assumptions of who actually gets the food.
Big mistake. Everything is linked to politics, who are they kidding?
Yes, the people who approved this probably did so out of a false sense of "Compassion."
Yes, the Ronery One will misuse it.
But, it's still right: If your enemy is hungry, feed him ... in doing so, you will heap burning coals on his head.
Are these the same North Koreans that teach there children to hate me and my family or is it the other ones.
Does anyone know of any place on earth, any country any city any province anywhere that does not get part of my paycheck? I would like to send them a thank you card.
It will feed his military and Jong. It will provide them with another day to plot to destroy America. Nice to see our tax dollars at work aiding and abetting the enemy.
Oh hell, while we are at it let's give Osama 50 billion for some organic gardening.
America's tax dollars&surpluses need to help Americans not our enemies.
I wonder who is putting this infinite wisdom into President Bush's head? This is totally unFing believable. NSNR
At least it'll free up the money they were going to have to spend to feed the military. Now they can work longer on their nuke program.
Maybe Dubya can persuade Jimmy Carter to deliver the aid, wrapped in a package with a big red bow on top! And a note that we're sorry for not bringing it sooner.
Whatever it is, I trust the North Korean dictator to honor it just until all the donated food is digested and becomes part of the country's land fills.

It will rot on the docks
My thoughts exactly. I am sick of this. This is OUR money. What gives these people the right to take money out of MY wallet and give it to them. I get up at 5:00 every morning and drive 40 minutes to sit in a cubicle for the next 9 hours ... and then my money is taken from me and given to people in North Korea????
You know, maybe it's time to get rid of the ENTIRE government and get new people in there. People who will do what I want for a change!
How about if we "doctor" the food a little. Have you noticed that Kim Jong-Il is looking more like a woman these days ?
Laced with warafin?
Of course we should feed N. Korea; after all, everyone in our country enjoys three meals a day. (Sarcasm!)
Only 50,000 tons? How stingy!
It's Bush's fault, along with Cargill and Halliburton, of course.
I think all agree that this is surreal!?
Unreal. And we are just one of several making these blackmail payments, "Feed me or I'll nuke you!"
